Hearing Loss is one of the world's most common health problem. It is also one of the most ignored problems, and this is unfortunate because hearing loss and its many psychological side effects are treatable.

That is interesting about drinking to clear up the smoking of clouding the sound in ear. What likely happens is as people drink they tend to speak louder in general, quite often this is due to elevated ambient noise levels e.g. noisy bar from the music and just a toner of people talking in...

I would recommend seeing an audiologist too, there are so many brands now, with the phonak ambra, oction, widex clear and others that have been mentioned starkey and resound, they all have great specifications and will help improve the hearing loss whilst you are outside. I would do some back...

I looked forever trying to find the right hearing aid for me. Choosing a hearing aid can be a complex process. Some are small enough to fit inside your ear canal, making them almost invisible. Others fit partially in your ear canal. Thanks for sharing…

Every hearing aid has to be specifically tuned to an individual’s cochlea; this is called coupling. The inner ear cannot be fixed; we have to modify sound before it arrives at the inner ear. Without precise tuning which matches the hearing aids to your ears, hearing aids fail to provide maximum...

Digital signal processing is quite different from analog signal processing. Specifically, DSP alters a signal through complex software, while ASP alters a signal through the use of hardware. The internal implementation, such as compression, operate similarly in both strategies. As long as the...

The most important thing that you should check is the qualification of the audiologist. Make sure that the practitioner is qualified and educated enough to treat hearing-related issues. You need to remember that ears are delicate organs of your body. Therefore, they should be handled with care...

I think pink or purple looks good on you. I love the fact you can get colored earmolds too. Thanks..

You may find digital aids amazing, you may not see a big difference between digital and analog aids. and so on. I wear analog aids and am fine with them! I have a digital hearing aid. It works alright for me. I hear if you get it wet once it wont work again. Thanks for sharing..

I understand it should be decided on your own. I'd love to make a list of pros and cons but I am too much a ball of mixed up feelings to think that clearly. I was hoping to maybe find some other perspectives. Thanks for sharing...

Black & blue (Blue Moon, I think) hearing aid and currently wearing clear molds. Have blue glitter molds on order (the first ones didn't fit quite right, so having them remade). Wish they didn't cost so much, then I could swap them as my mood dictates. I also wear hearing aid charms (hangs on...

You're asking a professional to invest maybe two+ hours of time carefully reading, thinking, typing, proofreading, and polishing responses to this, for no money, and for only a very small chance of impressing you enough to get you to call and make an appointment, because who knows how many other...

I have trained myself to observe all the more closely. I can usually make a good assessment of a person as to whether they are trustworthy or not, whether or not they are lying through their teeth. Like a sugar-coated quinine pill. Thanks for sharing...

I have a severe hearing loss in both ears and they work for me pretty well since I have a hearing aid that's pretty much updated. Really it’s very useful and benefitional information me. Thanks for sharing

Now with my hearing being at a profound loss in both ears, with only residual low frequency hearing left they don't do anything for me. I couldn't really tell the difference between having them on or off. I just felt dizzy with them on.

I also had impressions for new earmolds done today too, I don't know if I am going to be getting soft or hard ones though. I hope soft, but I am allergic to my current soft ones so they will only be soft if there is a more hypo-allergenic material to make them out of. My audie doesn't...

Make sure you clean your ears of wax before you have the impressions made. If there is a build up then this can affect the quality of impression. Get drops and put them in for a few days. If the build up is really bad then you might need to have an experienced doctor syringe out the wax with water.
