How deaf are the old people who need hearing aids

Some people mistakenly think that old people should not use hearing aids unless they have to. On the one hand, they don’t understand that in terms of effect, the current hearing aids are not comparable with those of the past; on the other hand, they are worried that the rib hearing aids will aggravate the hearing loss. As we mentioned earlier, hearing aids are beneficial and harmless to the elderly.

Most professional workers rely on hearing test results to determine whether the elderly need to use hearing aids, which is correct, but not comprehensive. Two aspects should be considered: first, if hearing test results prove that hearing aids are needed, they should be used immediately; second, even if hearing test results do not prove that hearing aids are not necessary (for example, the degree of deafness is not very heavy), as long as the elderly think that they need hearing aids, they must also be used. This is because hearing is a high-level, comprehensive and subjective feeling, and it is difficult to show the whole picture with modern audiometry technology, while the subjective feeling can make up for the lack of audiological examination. So “need” is also a signal. Once the old people feel the hearing difficulty in their life and work, it means that they need hearing aids, so they should be equipped with hearing aids.

In fact, there are two types of hearing aids that should be tested sooner rather than later: one is children, who need to use hearing aids to learn languages. The other is the elderly, who are deaf, and should use hearing aids as soon as possible. Because the deafness of the elderly will gradually increase with the growth of age, and it will be necessary to use hearing aids sooner or later, and early use of hearing aids can slow down the process of hearing degradation, why not use them earlier? It is a wrong way to consider hearing aids until it is impossible to use them.
