Old hearing aid selection misunderstanding

In so many years of matching work, I found that many elderly friends have the following misunderstandings about the selection of elderly hearing aids:

First, worry that wearing a hearing aid will increase deafness. This is what everyone is most worried about and the most frequently asked questions. At this point, you can rest assured that as long as you go to a formal hearing aid fitting institution, after a comprehensive hearing test, choose a hearing aid suitable for your hearing, it will not hurt your hearing. Everyone knows the truth – “use and retreat”, often hear more voices, stimulate the nerves, help delay the hearing loss, better protect the hearing.

Second, when listening to a hearing aid with a single ear, the hearing loss patient often holds the other ear to test the effect. When a person with normal hearing is holding one ear, it will be difficult to listen, and it will be more difficult to hold one ear while listening to hearing loss in both ears. Everyone knows that the two ears can hear the sound from all directions, accurately locate and remove the interference, in order to better understand the speech content. So when you wear a hearing aid in a single ear, don’t hold on to another ear!

Third, start with a cheap try! Many hearing loss patients have never worn hearing aids before, some listen to others say that hearing aids are good, some have heard bad, so there will be more when you match Worried, I am afraid that spending money will not work. Baotou Hongsheng Hearing Center also encountered many users who spent a lot of money with hearing aids in other places. The result was very bad, and my heart was very upset. Later, I heard people say that Baotou Hongsheng Hearing Center is very good, and come to our center with the psychology of trying.

Usually we find that hearing aids are not working well for several reasons:

1, hearing aid debugging is not in place. Many inexperienced fitters reduce the high frequency gain in order to suppress the hearing of the hearing aid, which affects the clarity of the hearing aid;

2, hearing aid fitting is not suitable. Some people have a heavier hearing, and the resulting hearing aids are not amplified enough, resulting in insufficient loudness;

3, hearing test is not comprehensive. When testing the hearing for the user, many fitting centers only detect the air conduction hearing, and do not detect the bone conduction hearing, and the nature of the hearing loss of the hearing loss is incorrect, resulting in inaccurate sound debugging;

4, hearing aid use instructions are not in place. Some hearing aids can switch programs in different environments for better listening comfort. If the hearing aid fitter does not explain clearly to the user, the program will be misused and will affect the wearing of the hearing aid.

Fourth, both ears are hearing, and only one hearing aid is worn. Wearing a hearing aid with a single ear In a quiet environment, the effect of single-person communication is acceptable, but when multiple people communicate or the environment is complicated, the effect will be much worse. I will encounter problems such as the inability to distinguish directions, inaudible, and noisy. The hearing aids worn by the ears can play a good role in sound source localization, and at the same time, the head shadow effect can be used to offset the noise, so that the listening is comfortable and clear in a more complicated environment.
