With the increase of age, the old people’s immunity will also decline, all functions of the body will decline, and so will the hearing organs. Most of the old people have hearing problems, which will be different according to individual differences, living habits, living environment and other conditions. Under what circumstances does the hearing aid need to be worn?
Theoretically speaking, no matter young or old people, it is suggested to wear hearing aids after the average hearing loss detected by pure tone audiometry reaches more than 35 decibels.
We often find that when communicating with the elderly, they often say something because they can’t hear clearly? What? If this happens many times, it’s said that there is a problem in listening. It needs to be compensated by wearing hearing aids.
Secondly, some old people can’t hear the cell phone ring and bird call. These two are typical high-frequency sounds, which means that the old people’s high-frequency hearing loss is a little serious. This also means that the old people need to wear hearing aids.
On weekdays, when we find that the hearing condition of the elderly has problems, we should accompany the elderly to the fitting center or hospital for a hearing test in time to see how the hearing loss is. However, if there is such a situation as I said above, the hearing loss of the elderly is mostly mild or even more serious.
Old people need to wear hearing aids when they reach this level. At the same time, most of the old people’s deafness is old-age deafness, which is generally symmetrical in both ears, so it’s better to wear two hearing aids, which can hear more clearly, have a sense of direction to the sound, and prevent the hearing of the other ear without hearing aids from continuing to decline.
Old people are likely to feel uncomfortable after wearing hearing aids, which is a normal phenomenon. Even our young people will have this phenomenon. There is an adaptation period after wearing hearing aids, which is usually about 1-3 months. According to personal conditions, there will be some differences. For example, the more serious the hearing loss is, the longer it will be, the older it will be, and the longer it will be.
