There have been huge advances in medicine and technology that have helped our understanding of hearing loss. Despite these advancements, there is an incredible amount of incorrect information floating around out there.
Here are nine misconceptions, things we often hear. Don’t let them prevent you from getting help for your hearing loss.
THE TRUTH:
Oftentimes hearing loss happens very slowly and over a period of many years. You might not even notice it’s happening! You might just think other people aren’t listening to the television loud enough or speaking up clearly. But these are signs that something has changed with your hearing. If anyone tells you that you need a hearing test, it never hurts to get an evaluation. Hearing loss is quite common and usually treatable.
THE TRUTH:
It is frustrating to be experiencing hearing loss; it makes it hard to keep up in conversations, talk on the phone, or go to social gatherings in loud places. Many people with hearing loss experience depression or social withdrawal, and their family and loved ones miss them. Instead of constantly asking others to repeat themselves or turn the volume up, it’s better to address your hearing issues. Better hearing will improve the relationships you have with your family and community as well as those you may work with.
THE TRUTH:
Despite how much hearing loss you are experiencing now, it usually gets worse over time. The sooner you can come in and address your individual needs, the better. “Auditory deprivation” is a term to describe the hearing that cannot be recovered. The longer you delay treating your hearing loss, the harder it will be to recover more of your hearing. The sooner you address your hearing loss, the better.
Hearing aids are incredibly helpful for many folks, but you can’t wait too long. The longer you live with hearing loss, the harder it will be to adjust to life with hearing aids. The sooner you start, the easier the adjustment will be.
THE TRUTH:
This might work while you’re at home alone watching television or listening to the radio, but it doesn’t work well interacting with others. When people know that interacting with you means enduring overly-loud devices or constantly repeating themselves or hearing you ask, “What?” all the time, they might become frustrated and experience difficulty talking to you with ease.
The best way to approach to “turning up the volume” is to use hearing aids that are programmed by our experienced staff.
THE TRUTH:
Almost everyone with hearing loss is helped through hearing aids; however, the trick is using the right technology with the proper settings.
Our team of specialists will help you find the right hearing aid fit. We program the hearing aids to help your specific hearing loss and fit in with your specific lifestyle. With such a personalized fitting, it is almost a certainty that you will begin to hear better.
THE TRUTH:
Hearing aids of the past were large, noticeable, and there were only a few style options. Nowadays, there are dozens of models, many which are nearly invisible. You can choose from devices that are positioned behind the ear, or ones that fit snuggly in the ear canal. Our patients are excited when they see how styles have changed!
THE TRUTH:
Although hearing loss often occurs in older folks, people of all ages are affected by hearing loss. Injury, illness, and medications can affect hearing even in young people.
You can keep feeling young, enthusiastic, and full of energy by participating in conversations confidently, continuing involvement in activities and social groups, and staying active. Having good hearing will keep you engaged instead of feeling off to the side.
THE TRUTH:
Your hearing is just one of the many moving parts on the human body and just as serious as any other health condition. Like other health treatments one must consider quality of life. Consider your hearing aids an important investment in your own life and happiness, one that will benefit you during most of your waking hours, seven days a week.
There are many options for types of hearing aids. There are many different technology levels and features that you may or may not need. We can help you choose the best fit for your lifestyle and budget.
THE TRUTH:
In order for your brain to interpret sound, you need both ears. That’s because ears also help you locate the source of the sound, assist with balance, and help with sound clarity. If you have hearing loss in both ears but only use one hearing aid, you’re doing your body a disservice.
