Hearing loss! How to deal with it?
H
earing loss is a natural consequence of getting older. Our hearing ability worsens from our 30s or 40s and onwards and when we reach our 80s, more than half of us suffer from some degree of hearing loss. In India one in twelve people suffer from hearing loss. Another common reason for hearing loss is exposure to noise, either due to working in noisy industries like power plants or mills; or from voluntary exposure to noise, such as noisy motors or loud music Also the increasing use of portable MP3 players are causing hearing damages. The players are
capable of delivering high sound levels and the user risks exposing their ears to highly excessive dB levels. Hearing loss may also occur as a result of disease, infections or drugs. It may be inherited or be a result of physical damage to the ears or serious injuries to the head. Hearing loss can either be conductive or sensorineural. Some people suffer from both, which is called mixed hearing loss. Once suspected to be suffering from hearing loss you should consult an Audiologist. The ‘Audiologist’ will assess your hearing to find the cause, degree and type of your hearing loss. Some
people may not need a hearing aid, for example, if an ear infection affects your hearing temporarily. If the specialist advises that you need a hearing aid, they’ll recommend the most suitable type. By working with an audiologist, you are purchasing professional care and services to ensure that the correct hearing aid is selected and that proper programming of the hearing aid is completed Hearing aids are miniature electronic devices that sit in or on the ear and selectively amplify and process sounds. All hearing aids contain one or more microphones to pick up sound, a processor that amplifies and processes sound, a
receiver or speaker that sends the signal into your ear and a battery for a power source. When thinking about purchasing hearing aids, there are numerous factors to consider during your visit with a hearing healthcare professional, including: types and styles, fitting, pricing, reviews and comparisons, cleaning, repair and accessories.
