How to choose a hearing aid for mixed hearing loss?

Hearing Loss

Speech recognition ability is the foundation of wearing hearing aids.Hearing aids can only help you hear the sound, and understanding what the sound means depends on the speech recognition ability of the brain.The recognition ability is high, and the functions of the hearing aid can be exerted better, and the hearing aid effect after wearing is more obvious.

Hearing impaired patients always require good performance and low price when choosing hearing aidsHearing aid.When choosing a hearing aid, it is not that the higher the price, the better the effect, but the more suitable for you, the better the effect. Don’t blindly pursue the high priceHearing aid.The fitter should make a reasonable selection according to the different needs of each patient.When economic conditions permit, binaural options are available.

The advantages of binaural matching are as follows:

①Keep the balance of hearing, distinguish the direction of the sound, and distinguish the sound level, which is helpful to improve the ability of sound source localization

②Improve the signal-to-noise ratio and improve the speech resolution, which will help the hearing impaired to hear the sound clearly under the background noise, and the sound will be more natural and more comfortable.

③Improve hearing deprivation and protect residual hearing

④ Eliminate head shadow effect

⑤Improve the loudness of the sound and merge the ears with hearing

⑥ Reduce the reverberation effect and mask tinnitus.

When economic conditions, comfort, and power are all satisfied, wear a customized machine as much as possible (customized machines are divided into in-ear machine ITE, ear canal machine ITC, deep ear canal machine CIC, and full invisible machine MICRO CIC) Its main Features are: 1) Make full use of the physiological functions of the human ear, use the auricle to collect more high-frequency sounds, make the sound clear, and improve speech recognition; 2) Beautiful, concealed, and avoid psychological obstacles; 3) Convenient and free from movement restrictions ; 4) Convenient to answer the phone.When the hearing patient’s hearing exceeds 110dbHL, the BTE machine should be considered when the power of the customized machine cannot satisfy the patient.Some hearing-impaired patients are particularly sensitive to external things. Wearing an in-ear machine, ear canal machine or deep ear canal may have a plugging effect, especially low-frequency loss. Hearing with severe high-frequency loss is more likely to have a plugging effect. You can choose a moda or moxi machine, or you can choose a MICRO CIC custom machine, so that the ear plugging effect will be minimized.
