Tips on hearing aids

After being fitted with hearing aids, hearing can be maintained at the current level or hearing loss can be delayed, so hearing may still decline under the influence of certain incentives. At this time, hearing aids need to be debugged. Similarly, the changes in hearing at different frequencies may be different, and the amount of debugging needs to be different, so there must be audiometry results.

For infants and young children who are deaf before speech, hearing training and language training are required after wearing hearing aids. Deaf children can’t hear for a long time or the sound is very small, their hearing function is in a primitive naive state, and their hearing is dull. Hearing training is to make full use of the residual hearing of deaf children to wake them up. The situation of mastering language is directly proportional to the effect of listening training. Generally speaking, the more sounds a deaf child hears, the stronger the sound discrimination ability, and the faster the language understanding and grasp, the better.

Here is a phenomenon that includes listening and language training, but parents only perform language training. In fact, this practice is extremely wrong. Listening training and language training are equally important. Hearing training should be valued, and the child’s age The smaller, the more you should strengthen your listening training.

The process of hearing loss is usually silent. Because people’s hearing range is very large, the general damage may temporarily not affect the communication with others, coupled with the lack of detailed hearing tests in routine medical examinations, it is difficult to arouse people’s vigilance. The human ear’s hearing frequency range is 20 ~ 20000Hz, above or below this range is not perceivable by our human ears. When your doctor measures your hearing, it will start with one ear, let you listen to a series of sounds with different frequencies, and record which sounds you can hear and which sounds you can’t hear, to determine your ear hearing The degree of loss. In this way, if there is a hearing problem, better intervention can be made to achieve a good hearing aid effect.
