Is the hearing aid easy to use?

Many families in the elderly in the test of hearing aids, let it go, and after a period of time found that the use of hearing aids for the elderly does not seem to be smooth, and even put the hearing aids aside, but also complain with their children about hearing aids.

At the same time, we also found that some families, after receiving the detailed explanation from the hearing aid examiner, conscientiously did everything according to each requirement, and persisted for a period of time, the feedback of the elderly was very good. So the same is the test of hearing aids, in addition to the individual differences, why the effect difference is so big.

Do you know what the old people need to communicate with the old people after hearing aid fitting test, in addition to patiently explaining how to use the hearing aid (especially how to maintain the hearing aid and the knobs on the hearing aid)?

Wearing a hearing aid is not the end

In fact, as a family, we think the most important thing is to help the elderly adapt to hearing aids and master the methods of communication.

Language is the high-level activity result of human brain, and the acceptance and cognition of language is the active process of brain. By properly training the elderly and opening their comprehensive potential, we can overcome the early inadaptability or unaccustomed phenomenon of wearing hearing aids, and finally improve the social communication ability and enhance the effect of hearing aids.

What eight children should know

① first of all, we need to know that the old people can’t hear every word immediately after they start wearing hearing aids, especially the old people who have suffered serious hearing loss for many years, it needs a period of time to be familiar with the voice. It is suggested to use the close ordinary voice to communicate with the old people, so that the old people can be familiar with the voice from hearing aids.

Patience and persistence are the guarantee to achieve good results. Please communicate with the old people more. At the beginning, the speaking speed should slow down. Sentences are not easy to be too complex. Although hearing aids have been equipped, you should be patient when communicating with the old people. Especially when the old people don’t hear clearly, don’t show impatience. Otherwise, the old people will doubt the effectiveness of hearing aids and won’t wear them. When can understand 80% can improve the speed of speech, but pay attention not to let the elderly feel tired, not too long communication.

③ hearing aid is a kind of electronic product. As a hearing aid, the sound we hear when wearing hearing aid is slightly different from the sound we hear when wearing hearing aid. So when we start to adapt to this sound, we can wear it for 1-2 hours a day at the beginning, gradually increasing the time until it can be worn all day.

④ for the old people with severe hearing loss, hearing loss ears are in a “quiet” state for a long time. After wearing hearing aids, they suddenly hear subtle sounds from the outside world. They may not be able to adapt for a while and a half. Therefore, the hearing aid tester will not adjust the loud voice when starting the machine, so it is necessary to wear the hearing aids for a period of time before adjusting the machine. During this period, do not suddenly touch the environment with loud voice.

⑤ when wearing the hearing aid for the first time, we will feel that our voice is louder than that of the outside world, and sometimes we can’t hear our own voice clearly, or pay too much attention to our own voice. We suggest that we can get familiar with our own voice through daily recitation practice, and gradually we will ignore our own voice.

⑥ the longer the hearing loss is, the more the function of listening to language will be lost in noisy environment. Therefore, we hope that every old person with hearing loss can check and equip hearing aids as soon as possible, intervene as soon as possible, and learn listening ability again.

⑦ when communicating with many people at the same time, you may feel very confused. This is something that people who just wear hearing aids often encounter. Don’t worry. With the extension of wearing time, you will master many listening skills and adapt to the convenience brought by hearing aids. At the same time, it will also improve the confidence of communication, and no longer feel shy because of not being able to hear clearly.

⑧ many old people can’t wait to watch TV or listen to the radio after wearing hearing aids, but we suggest that they go to watch TV or listen to the radio after a period of time to adapt, because the sound of these appliances belongs to electronic sound, which is different from our common natural sound and has a slightly faster speed. If they don’t adapt for a period of time, the listening effect may not be ideal, which will also It’s a big blow to the old man’s confidence.

In addition, when children wear hearing aids, they often exchange information with the help of body besides voice communication, such as looking at mouth shape and hand gestures. In fact, the same is true for the old people wearing hearing aids. We suggest that the old people can integrate the visual information in the process of learning to use hearing aids, analyze and use them, so as to play the potential of cerebral cortex at the same time. Of course, it will take some time to accumulate experience.
