Mistakes in the selection of hearing aids for the elderly

< P style = "color:; font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif;" > in so many years of matching work, it is found that many old friends have the following misunderstandings in the selection of hearing aids for the elderly:

< P style = "color:" font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif; "> first, worry that wearing hearing aids will aggravate deafness. This is the most worried and frequently asked question. You can rest assured that as long as you go to a regular hearing aid fitting institution, after a comprehensive hearing test, and choose a hearing aid suitable for your hearing, it will not hurt your hearing. We all know a truth – “use in, discard out”, often hear more sounds, stimulate the auditory nerve, which is conducive to delay hearing decline and better protect hearing.

< P style = "color:; font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif;" > Second, when hearing aids are tested with one ear, patients with hearing loss often cover the other ear to test the effect. People with normal hearing will have difficulty in listening when they cover one ear, and it will be more difficult when they cover one ear when they have hearing loss. We all know that only two ears can hear the sound from all directions, accurately locate and remove the interference, so as to better understand the speech content. So when you wear a hearing aid with one ear, don’t cover the other ear

< P style = "color:" font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif; "> Third, let’s start with a cheap one. Many patients with hearing loss have never worn hearing aids before, some of them are good at listening to others, and some of them are not good at listening, so they will have more worries when matching, for fear that spending money will not work. Baotou Hongsheng listening center also contacted many users who spent a lot of money on hearing aids in other places. The result was very bad, and they were very upset. Later, I heard that Baotou Hongsheng listening center is very good. I came to our center with a try mentality.

There are several reasons for the poor effect of hearing aids

< P style = "color:" font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif; "> 1. The debugging of hearing aid is not in place. In order to suppress the squealing of hearing aids, many inexperienced examiners turn down the high frequency gain, which affects the definition of hearing aids

< P style = "color:; font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif;" > 2. The matching of hearing aids is not appropriate. Some people’s hearing is heavy, as a result, a large number of hearing aids are not put enough, resulting in the loudness is not enough to hear clearly

< P style = "color:" font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif; "> 3. When testing hearing for users, many fitting centers only test air conduction hearing, but not bone conduction hearing. They judge the nature of hearing loss patients’ deafness wrongly, which leads to inaccurate voice debugging

< P style = "color:; font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif;" > 4. The use guidance of hearing aid is not in place. Some hearing aids can switch programs in different environments to achieve better listening comfort. If the hearing aid tester fails to explain it clearly to the user, the program will be misused, which will also affect the wearing effect of hearing aids.

< P style = "color:; font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif;" > Fourth, both ears have hearing loss, and only one hearing aid is worn. In a quiet environment, the effect of single ear wearing hearing aids is acceptable, but it is much worse when there are many people communicating or the environment is complex. They will encounter problems such as being unable to identify the direction, not being able to hear clearly, noisy and so on. Wearing hearing aids on both ears can play a good role in locating the sound source, at the same time, using the head shadow effect to offset the noise to a certain extent, so as to listen comfortably and clearly in a more complex environment.
