The risk of hearing rehabilitation: brain hearing degradation

Many untreated hearing loss patients in the world may not know that if they lack effective hearing rehabilitation, it may eventually cause their brain to “forget” how to listen and understand speech, which is not alarmist. Now many researches have proved that the human brain must accept the sound stimulation at any time, otherwise the understanding ability will decline.

“If the brain can’t receive enough acoustic stimulation in a period of time, it will lose part of its ability to process information.” “This condition is called hearing deprivation,” American audiologist Bair said in a report. Studies have shown that the longer a patient’s lack of treatment is, the more likely his brain is to forget how to process speech signals, which will continue even after treatment. ” “The results of these studies clearly show that, like many people today, hearing loss treatment is delayed for many years, leaving patients at risk of permanent brain damage,” Bair added

The following facts are enough to draw people’s attention to hearing loss:

According to the neurosurgery data of the University of California, 95% of Americans with hearing loss can use hearing aids successfully, but at present, only one fifth of them use hearing aids;

According to the data of hearing communication center, the average hearing impaired patient needs to wait for 7 years before seeking treatment;

Patients with hearing impairment will be hindered in communication, which will seriously affect their career and personal life, and also lead to loneliness and social avoidance and other psychological barriers;

Nine out of 10 hearing aid users say their quality of life has improved as a result of the use of hearing aids.

In most cases, the progress of hearing loss is slow, and it will become more and more serious with the passage of time. Therefore, regular hearing tests should be carried out, and patients with confirmed hearing loss should be treated in time to avoid the risk and consequences of hearing deprivation. Hearing loss generally has the following signs or symptoms:

1. Feel that people are mumbling and not clear

2. Some people are difficult to understand

3. It is difficult to talk by phone

4. Family and friends remind us that we need to speak repeatedly to understand

5. It is difficult to understand the conversation in a crowded room

6. It is uncomfortable for others to complain that they have turned on the TV very loud

7. Begin to feel the tinnitus

If anyone begins to notice any of the above problems, they should immediately go to the hospital for examination and take corresponding treatment and rehabilitation measures.
