Absolute Hearing Solutions

Over one-third of people between ages 65 and 75 years have some degree of hearing loss, which is considered to be the third most common chronic health condition among the elderly (behind hypertension and arthritis). For this reason alone, a yearly hearing test is recommended. After all, most elderly individuals get their eyes tested regularly, don’t they? Yet, routine hearing testing is not as prevalent as regular eye exams. The fact is that many older individuals believe they can hear just fine, but elderly hearing loss is usually so gradual that those affected cannot discern just how much hearing ability they have actually lost. The first step in getting more out of life involves taking a hearing test.

Avoiding treatment with a hearing instrument and/or an assistive listening device may only invite the depression, cognitive decline, and reduction in functional status that are associated with hearing loss in the elderly.

Hearing professionals recommend that you have your hearing evaluated once a year. Hearing aids also should be checked and cleaned three to four times a year. You should always report a change in hearing to your hearing healthcare professional and your doctor.

Have You Heard? “UNDERSTANDING TINNITUS”

One common cause of tinnitus (ringing in the ears) is hearing loss involving damage to the tiny “hair cells” in the cochlea (the snail-like structure of the inner ear) that transform sound waves into nerve signals. If the auditory circuits in the brain do not receive the signals that they expect from the cochlea, the brain essentially “turns up the gain” on those pathways in its attempt to perceive the signal. (We do much the same thing with the volume switch on a car radio when we experience difficulty getting a signal.) As a result, the brain produces abnormal nerve signals to compensate for the missing input.

Tinnitus will take the form of a high-pitched ringing if hearing loss is in the high-frequency range and low-pitched if it’s in the low-frequency range. A hearing instrument can help relieve tinnitus by amplifying the missing sounds.

For people who have hearing loss and tinnitus, correctly fitted hearing instruments are one of the options that can be used to mask tinnitus so that, over time, tinnitus may become less bothersome.

Have You Heard? “THE ART OF CONCEALMENT”

Few would argue that vanity plays some role in the selection of a hearing instrument. For those greatly concerned with this issue, there is the completely-in-the-canal (CIC) hearing instrument, which is worn entirely inside the ear canal. This type of custom-made hearing instrument is produced on the basis of an impression of the user’s ear, which makes it the lowest profile among hearing instruments. As inconspicuous as CICs are, however, they are not entirely suitable for those with severe hearing losses or dexterity problems. However, this hardly means that people with moderate-to-severe losses need fret. A receiver-in-the-ear (RITE) instrument places the speaker (“receiver”) in the ear canal, which allows for a much smaller housing to sit discreetly behind the ear.

RITE hearing aids are designed for patients with high-frequency hearing loss as well as severe hearing loss. RITE hearing aids feature advanced functionality options such as directional microphones. In addition, RITE hearing instruments are generally easier to use and maintain than the smaller CIC instruments.

Have You Heard? “EXPLAINING WHY?”

Parents of a child with genetic hearing loss may wonder how this could be if both parents have normal hearing. The fact is that each normal-hearing parent may have one recessive gene for hearing loss. If one of their children were to get two recessive genes (one from each parent), he or she would have a hearing loss. In this case, since the gene responsible for hearing loss is recessive, it can pass through many generations without ever causing hearing loss. All it takes is one person with the recessive gene to have a child with another person with the same gene to produce a child with the hearing loss. The chances of this occurring are 25 percent.

In the case of “autosomal dominant hearing loss,” one parent who carries the dominant gene for hearing loss and exhibits a hearing loss passes it on to the child. There is at least a 50% chance that this child will also have a hearing loss.

Children who are hard of hearing will find it more challenging than children who have normal hearing to learn vocabulary, grammar, word order, idiomatic expressions, and other aspects of verbal communication.

Have You Heard? MORE FOLLOW-UP NEEDED FOR INFANTS

The good news is that virtually all U.S. states and their territories have established Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) programs, which go a long way toward ensuring the detection of congenital hearing loss and deliver follow-up care. The recommended national benchmarks for these programs include hearing screening by age one month, diagnostic audiologic evaluation by three months for those failing the screening, and enrollment in an early-intervention program by no later than six months of age for those diagnosed with hearing loss. The not-so-good news is that, while nearly all infants are screened for hearing loss, the follow-up care is not quite as comprehensive. The percentage of infants with hearing loss receiving follow-up care may be 50% or less.

It is important that hearing problems are detected and managed appropriately at or soon after birth in order to maximize language and communication development in babies. In addition, parents and doctors of infants with diagnosed hearing losses should persist in their efforts to ensure that the children get needed treatment.

Have You Heard? YOUR HEARING, YOUR JOB!

If you cannot hear as well as you once could and you are resisting the recommendation to wear a hearing instrument, consider that your income may be at stake. Research undertaken by the Better Hearing Institute reveals that people with untreated hearing loss lose as much as $30,000 in income annually, depending on their degree of hearing loss. However, the use of hearing instruments was found to reduce the risk of income loss by 90%-100% for those with milder hearing loss and 65%-77% for those with moderate to severe losses. Moreover, hearing instrument use was shown to reduce unemployment among those wearing them. The bottom line is that hearing instruments can boost work effectiveness in appreciable ways.

Before selecting and purchasing a hearing instrument it’s important to remember that a hearing instrument does not restore your hearing. In addition, hearing loss has been linked with reduced alertness, impaired memory, and inability to learn new tasks, all of which are considered to be disadvantages in the workplace.

Have You Heard? REACHING YOUR THRESHOLD

The first step in determining whether you have a hearing loss and what you might do about it involves having a non-invasive hearing test. After taking a case history and examining your ears with an otoscope, the hearing specialist delivers a series of tones of different pitches and speech signals through headphones to your ears as you sit in a sound-treated test booth. By responding to the lowest levels that you can hear, the hearing professional can determine your hearing thresholds for each pitch and ear and plot them on a graph called an “audiogram.” Further testing involving your ability to understand spoken words at different levels help provide a comprehensive picture of your hearing ability.

So many of us don’t even realize we’ve experienced hearing loss until it’s too late and we’re straining to hear every single conversation. The first step towards getting things back on track is to go ahead and schedule an appointment to have your hearing checked.

Have You Heard? A LOSING PROPOSITION

Recent research suggests that seniors with a hearing loss may be at greater risk for developing dementia than their normal-hearing peers. As yet, researchers are not really sure what the link is between these two maladies. Some suspect that the strain of decoding sounds over a period of years may overwhelm the brains of people suffering from hearing losses, leaving them more vulnerable to developing dementia. In any case, the study, which involved nearly 700 older adults, found that during 12 years of follow-up, one-third of those with the most severe hearing losses developed dementia while only 4 percent of the normal-hearing group did. This finding may point to hearing loss prevention as a means of staving off dementia.

Have You Heard? HOW LOUD IS TOO LOUD?

Accumulated exposure to loud noise eventually leads to damage in the inner ear that compromises hearing ability. Thus, it is just as important that youngsters avoid prolonged exposure to loud noise as adults. Bear in mind that a noise level consistent with heavy traffic (85 decibels), if listened to for eight consecutive hours, is sufficient to harm hearing ability. At 100 decibels, maximum exposure is 15 minutes. At 103 decibels, the limit is a mere seven minutes. The average rock concert registers 105 decibels, and even movies in theatres have the potential to inflict damage. As far as personal listening devices are concerned, those using MP3 players should limit the volume setting to 50% to 60% of maximum.

As a general rule, noise may damage your hearing if you are at arm’s length and have to shout to make yourself heard. You should wear ear protection when using power tools, noisy yard equipment, or firearms, or riding a motorcycle or snowmobile. In addition, loud noise has been found to raise blood pressure, cause headaches, and increase sleep disturbances.
