What is the best hearing aids for elderly people?

As a person in the industry, I have also contacted many elderly people, and talked about their experiences and feelings. 0. Hearing aid intervention should be found sooner rather than later after hearing loss. Most people have a certain degree of hearing loss. Due to the backwardness of ideas and education, many people will think that this is natural and will not think of going to the first place. Improvement often waits until the degree of hearing loss worsens, or even affects speech recognition. What needs to be told here is that hearing loss is getting worse without intervention. Due to the plasticity of the brain, if the auditory-speech-related cortex is not stimulated for a long time, it will gradually be occupied by other centers and lose its function. Recent studies by the World Health Organization have shown that mild, moderate, and moderate hearing loss has Alzheimer’s disease. The probability is 2 times, 3 times, and 5 times higher than that of normal people.

1. Don’t let the elderly know the real price of hearing aids. Tens of millions of hearing aids are not too much for young people with a certain economic foundation. For elderly people born in poor times, they can’t bear to spend their money. I often see this situation. When I do n’t know the price, I wear a hearing aid and laugh happily, I think the effect is very good, I usually hear inaudible voices. Many elderly people start shaking their heads after knowing the price, saying it ‘s not good , It’s ill there. When the old man asks the price, it can be said that “this hearing aid is very cheap, less than 1,000 yuan.” Sometimes a well-intentioned lie is often warmer.

2. There is no best hearing aid, only the most suitable hearing aid. The more expensive the hearing aid, the better? What brand of hearing aid is the best? The answers are all negative. For elderly people whose hearing curve is relatively flat and not very heavy, there are not many differences between thousands of hearing aids and tens of thousands of hearing aids. For elderly people who have large hearing curve fluctuations and severe hearing loss at certain frequencies, The difference between thousands of hearing aids and tens of thousands of hearing aids is displayed, so the most expensive is not necessarily the best, and the most suitable is the best. It can meet the needs of hearing compensation and save economic expenses.

For hearing aid brands, it can be said that the six major brands in the front line are not technically different, but their tone colors are not the same. Some brands may be softer, and any brand may be more crisp. This depends on the tone of the elderly. Subjective needs selection.

1. Not all elderly people are suitable for in-ear hearing aids In-ear hearing aids are small and beautiful, and can also reduce the “stigma” of wearing hearing aids. However, in-ear hearing aids are not suitable for all elderly people. Compared with BTE hearing aids, the small size means less space, and the power of in-ear hearing aids cannot be as extreme as that of BTE hearing aids. In other words, in-ear hearing aids cannot well compensate for the serious hearing loss. Old man. In addition, for some elderly people with inflexible hands and feet and elderly people with poor vision, there are problems such as easy loss and inconvenient battery replacement. 4. Let the elderly have reasonable psychological expectations. Thanks to the rapid development of hearing aid technology, today’s digital hearing aids have made a qualitative leap in all aspects and are getting closer to real ears, but being close does not mean reaching, no matter how good After all, hearing aids are not as good as normal. Therefore, the elderly need to have a reasonable psychological expectation.
