Treatable causes of deafness –it's often fixable

Can you recommend a hearing aid maker (brand) that you use or have had experience with? Thank you

The individual need for hearing aids varies. It’s pretty unique step one: think !

…get an idea of what your needs might be and what might work for you.
Then also list your complaints of hearing aids that don’t work or do not do the job for you then
step two: google it to find recommendations for in-depth diagnosis and action.

Then step three:
Search and view YouTube videos on the subject.

I am really impressed and surprised at the great sources and resources For medical details at YouTube!!

Almost all the great medical centers offer helpful videos and details about the issues and remedies.

I wish I could say go to any good ear doctor, but I can’t because even a lot of a good ear. Doctors aren’t that good or not the right one for you.

If you have a friend who has had a better experience, it may only be that they will help but just as often, their particular needs were a good match for what the doctor had to offer, and no guarantee that that doctor will help you.

Important! go online and see if you can find a list of things that can impact the hearing including the wrong foods or a mistaken medication or a physical or psychological injury.

In my case, I had zero hearing issues just a little bit that people get when they age, but then I had an accident that must’ve cracked. I perverted something because suddenly I had extreme hearing lots that came in and out, came and went like a short circuit in my hearing, and when other body injuries near the ears were made and corrected and fixed my hearing improved. And that’s why I recommend maybe getting into it because it’s not always just that you’re irritating and quitting

There are lots of things to look into, but you have to take an interest in your own hearing health and be willing to take the wonderful mystery journey to solve.

You’re more likely to be satisfied with the results if you actually engage.

Do you use hearing aids now? How long have you been aware of having hearing loss?

It is important to have your hearing tested by a reputable audiologist. You want to get a baseline audiogram that the audiologist will explain to you. That way you know where your hearing loss lies on the spectrum; mild, moderate, severe, etc. If your loss is in the mild range you may want to look into the 'over the counter' non prescriptive hearing aids that are now available. If you do that, be sure to know what the return policy is and also the trial period.

For more severe hearing loss it makes sense to consider prescriptive hearing aids that are fit for your specific hearing loss. The brands that are best known are Widex, Oticon, Phonak, Starkey, Siemans & ReSound. These companies also make hearing aids under different names. ALWAYS insist on a trial period and return policy when buying any of them.

It's very helpful to talk to people you know who use hearing aids and have a provider they are comfortable with. Ask questions. The Hearing Loss Association of America has chapters throughout the United States. Chapters provide a place where hard of hearing people come together to learn and share their experiences. Ask questions. The HLAA website provides information about chapters, research and much more, so is worth checking.

People's hearing aid experiences vary. What works well for one may not work well for another. Hearing loss varies among individuals. It helps a lot to know the options you might have in your geographical area.

Do you know if there is an HLAA Chapter in your area?

You won't like my reply. As a child, I was in Carpet. I have a hearing impaired person and I hold onto my perception. Come those days for the brilliant insight, but it is your fault that I have so much frustration on this topic. "Reputable audiologist "… Proper testing for hearing it's a lot fancier than the audiologist testing. They try so hard to get purity and their measurements but that's only the beginning of things. They cannot factor in a lot of what happens in the experience of hearing and listening it's so much fancier.

As long as the hearing aid is essentially an amplifier, it is absolutely the wrong thing to do!

And hearing loss is so common and responsible for so much suffering and feeling of loss of quality of life that the whole world really needs open mind better insights much better ideas about how to test and treat hearing issues excellent studies and the actual causes and triggers for failure to hear accurately. I'm getting older and it's beginning Cotaire me just a little bit. I am widowed for sometime in single now, and I am very available to study myself to join study groups to find the best experimental we're going and how to support our fundraiser for anything anything I'm ready to do anything that might actually achieve modern insights and remedies.
We all got to be pretty good liberators and leaving off without hearing aids as much as possible since the hearing aids only make things worse and drive a person totally nuts, so I just kinda blasted things back-and-forth back-and-forth .

My explosion about hearing issues here is what I should apologize for but I'm not going to because it's meant to win to win the triumph over hearing issues. That's probably even a vaccination to prevent it all together. In some cases there's some of everything that can be applied, but probably not until people stop thinking, so totally loser on this topic and open their mind and get passionate about better ways of dealing with it especially prevention.

In 1981 I became just that furious about intracranial aneurysms when my husband died in my arms from one and there was not a thing to be done for it, and 18 days ago and Andrea, is it worth in his was found in my own brain right behind my left eye and repaired start to finish and 30 hours and home for lunch!!!!

If they now do such a spectacular job with a monster like an intracranial aneurysm, once called the bomb in the brain, they can NOW get going to fix to blasted bomb in the ear just as well!!!

YES YES

I am over the moon with happiness about the breakthroughs in aneurysm, response and treatment and imaging, because I lost my darling to a ruptured berry aneurysm, 43 years ago, and then a month ago, a busy and happy modern senior I was diagnosed with an aneurysm of my own - deep brain behind my left eye!

My heart and soul crashed at this new bad news from an old enemy.!
Ten years after chasing for improvements - in 1990, I was able to research and get better imaging and up-to-date care for our children, who might inherit the tendency. The word ASYMPTOMATIC for aneurysm is an all-time favorite and dear to me.

But last month, My sadness for myself was unbelievable – the odds are less than zero that the spouse could get an aneurysm like the husband – very strange!

And yet as my story went on, I became convinced it was from the Angels, because every step of my recent journey, for me was a revelation remedy and remarkable improvement – instead of instant death, and no hope,!

A few weeks ago I was instantly referred to a fine neurosurgeon, and two weeks later, his morning Surgical schedule included the endovascular coiling of my 5 x 7 mm intracranial aneurysm!

The nonsurgical procedure meant I would not have any holes in my scalp or hair loss, but instead - a catheter elegantly travels from my femoral artery to the site of the aneurysm, and then the thing is filled in with chromium strands, coiling around and prevents the aneurysm being an option for the blood going through my nearby veins - in visualizing it, I thought it was something like the way they pinch off the extra at a newborn's navel.

Certainly, other methods might be chosen, but Coiling is the safest for older patients like me. Least loss of blood and Home 30 hours after admission! Pure Miracle - and so profoundly moving to me after what we'd experienced when my husband died from hopeless aneurysm.

Not one but two ICU rooms, in addition to the electronic hook ups plenty of testing to make sure that I was having zero post-operative complications!

As my journey continued, I'll began to marvel and praise - I was able to perceive and understand, absorb how amazingly different was my experience than that of my poor late husband!

My own triumph over aneurysm joyfully announced that my children would probably not die from an aneurysm… Another huge improvement!

I realize that I must stay on blood thinners for six months to be on the safe side, and that some of my normal activities will be curtailed until then, but I am even grateful to have to be careful and quiet a little bit! Because I need a true adjustment time. - I cannot stop marveling and praising God in my heart.

How wonderful it feels that people I love at least won't die from a dumb aneurysm!

AND THIS IS WHAT WE NEED TO DO NOW FOR HEARING ISSUES!

The vaccines against cancer have begun and so please let's do it for hearing issues too NOW.

The agony of missing one good word due to to deafness should be enough to motivate remedy. Please?

Thank you for reading. this.
