Nowadays, more and more people have hearing problems, and the quality of life is greatly reduced because of hearing Loss. However many of them still don’t want to choose their own hearing Aids and are discouraged by various rumors. Don’t worry! We will smash the rumors one by one and let you regain a new “hearing”.
The more you wear hearing aids, the more deaf you become.
This is the most common rumor, and it’s also the most harmful one. Wearing a hearing aid will not only be harmful to your hearing but also protect your residual hearing if you fit scientifically. The working principle of hearing aids is to amplify the sound so that we can hear the sound that was originally unclear. Just like myopic glasses, wearing suitable hearing aids can help us listen to the world better.
The hearing aids are only for the elders?
This is the most ridiculous one. Hearing loss can occur at any age. Even children, teenagers, or young people can also suffer from hearing loss due to noise, disease, and other reasons. The World Health Organization(WHO) estimates that there are 34 million children have disabling hearing loss around the world. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 1.7 out of every 1,000 children in the United States have hearing loss. So don’t refuse hearing aids because of your age. They can help you study, work, and live better.
You can hear immediately after wearing hearing aids?
No! It takes some time to adapt to the amplified sound and relearn how to distinguish the different sounds when you wear the hearing aid for the first time. This is just like you may feel dizzy when you wear glasses the first time, it’s a normal adaption process. Be patient with the fitter’s adjustment and insist on wearing them, you will feel the changes!
Hearing aids can completely restore hearing?
The main function of a hearing aid is to amplify sound, enabling people with hearing loss to hear sounds that they could not hear before. However, it cannot repair damaged auditory cells or nerves, so it cannot restore hearing to normal levels. Several studies have shown that hearing aids can significantly improve the quality of life of people who have hearing problems. A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that wearing hearing aids can reduce social isolation of people with hearing loss by 50%, but it cannot eliminate all hearing difficulties.
The more expensive the hearing aid, the better.
Price is not the only criterion for choosing hearing Aids, and it’s not that the higher the price, the better. Different hearing losses require different types of hearing aids. Different life and work scenarios also require different types of hearing aids. Therefore, we should start from our situation and seek the help of professional fitters to choose the hearing aid that best suits us.
hearing Health cannot be ignored, don’t be blinded by rumors!
Face your hearing problems, get checked in time, and choose the right hearing aids to hear the new world one day.
