Who Needs Hearing Aids?

Hearing is one of our five senses and an extremely important one at that. Many times those with hearing loss do not realize the severity of their loss due to the long gradual process of hearing degradation. Regular hearing tests help identify those who would benefit from hearing aids. It is highly recommended that anyone with sufficient hearing loss receive treatment.

Statistics tell us that 1 in 6 Americans have hearing loss. Surprisingly, 80% of those people do nothing about it. There are a few populations who are more likely to experience hearing loss and therefore are more likely to need hearing aids. For instance more men experience hearing loss than women. Hearing loss is twice as common in those with diabetes than those without it. In people 75 years of age and older hearing loss is the third most common age-related disability behind only hypertension and arthritis.

Hearing aids are a commonly used and effective tool to help deal with hearing loss. Depending on the kind of hearing loss an individual is experiencing, hearing aids could be a great solution. The only way to know for sure whether you need hearing aids is to have your hearing tested by an experienced hearing care professional.

Why Are Hearing Aids Important?

Untreated hearing loss can potentially have serious consequences. One of the major effects of untreated hearing loss is the tendency towards social isolation. Those who have difficulty hearing often withdraw from social environments because they are unable to follow conversations and fear they will respond improperly. One on one conversations are preferred because an individual can compensate for their hearing loss with techniques like reading lips.

Social isolation has a number of consequences. Socially isolated people tend to feel more anxious, depressed, and can even have a false sense that others are angry with them. Social isolation is also a proven risk factor for dementia. Being around other people is a vital component to quality of life. Hearing aids can help make social interactions much more enjoyable and welcoming for those with hearing loss.

Another consequence of untreated hearing loss is compromised safety. Humans rely heavily on their hearing to give them awareness of what’s going on in their environment. Sound helps people know if a car is coming down the road, whether a smoke alarm is going off, or if there is an unwanted intruder in their home.

What Are The Best Hearing Aids?

What are the best hearing aids I can get? That question is asked to us a lot. Simply put, there is not a best pair of hearing aids. What hearing aids are best for you depends on your unique lifestyle and what kind of hearing loss you have.

For example, if someone simply needs amplification then lower technology hearing aids might work just fine. But hearing loss typically occurs at specific frequencies. Most of the time a person with hearing loss will struggle more with clarity than they will with hearing general sound. Some words will make sense but other words will not. This is like trying to put together a puzzle with missing pieces. In this instance a higher end solution, a device with more channels capable of dealing with different frequencies, would be the best.

Hearing aids are highly customization devices that require a trained professional to work optimally. An individual might even have the best hearing aids but if they aren’t programmed correctly for their hearing loss it will result in a poor experience. The best hearing aids are actually a combination of the correct device along with a highly skilled hearing care professional.

Generic hearing aids bought off the Internet are nothing more than devices you put in your ears. These devices often take poor hearing and turn it into much louder poor hearing. To get with a trained hearing care professional please contact Sonus Hearing Care Professionals to receive a free, no obligation, hearing test and consultation. We have offices in several West Michigan cities including: Wyoming, Grand Haven, Kalamazoo, Rockford, and Muskegon. We also have offices in smaller towns like Allendale, Fremont, Hart, Ludington, and Whitehall. No matter where you are it’s likely that there is a Sonus Hearing Care Professional near by to help with your hearing loss.

Hearing Matters

We all know that hearing plays a huge role in our lives. Hearing is what connects us to other people, allowing us to communicate with one another through sound. Hearing also keep us safe. It alerts us to a car speeding down the road or a fire alarm going off. But perhaps the greatest part about sound is how it adds richness to our everyday lives. Nothing can compare to the sound of the breeze rustling through the leaves on a crisp autumn afternoon or the sound of birds chirping in the spring.

I can’t hear as well as I used to, so what’s the big deal?

Hearing loss has long been seen as a benign condition that is a natural part of the aging process. While it’s true that hearing often diminishes with age, the consequences of this can be far from harmless. Outside of a lower overall quality of life, there can be other more serious consequences to hearing loss.

Social Isolation = Health Risks

Human beings are meant to be social. Solitary confinement has been used throughout the ages as a form of punishment for bad behavior. There is well documented research that points to socially isolated people being more likely to experience mental disorders like anxiety and depression as well as physical disorders like high blood pressure and insomnia.

People who have untreated hearing loss are much more likely to be socially isolated. When someone can’t communicate with those around them, they will avoid situations where they have to interact. You may have witnessed an older person voluntarily withdrawing at a social gathering. Or maybe you have had someone say no to going out to a restaurant for no apparent reason. Situations like these can be a result of untreated hearing loss and the desire of an individual to avoid embarrassment and the strenuous mental load of piecing together conversations.

Hearing Loss Linked to Dementia

There is a growing body of research linking hearing loss to dementia. At this point it has not been proven that hearing loss is a direct cause of dementia. A 2011 Johns Hopkins study found that adults with mild, moderate, and severe hearing loss were 2x, 3x, and 5x more likely to develop dementia, respectively.

Some of the theories as to why hearing loss might cause dementia are quite compelling. One leading theory is that because the brain’s auditory cortex will lose functionality when it is under-stimulated, other areas of the brain will recruit those resources for their own use. In turn, the frontal lobe of the brain is used to put together sentences and conversations. This can put a high amount of stress on the listener.

New Technology

Hearing technology is advancing rapidly. Many of the latest features going into hearing aids were not available just a few short years ago. Increased channels, directionality, cell phone apps and artificial intelligence make today’s hearing aids more advanced than ever.

New hearing technology is more user friendly than ever. There is no need to be intimidated by all the new features hearing aids have. Ease of use is built into the new products!
