Treatment for hearing loss? Benefits of using professional hearing care
by Amit Sahni AudiologistHealthy hearing is a necessity for healthy living. We might
take it for granted, but have you ever thought how life could be if your
hearing ability is reduced or lost? Hearing loss is a life-altering issue.
According to the statistics as published in Parliament of
Australia, “One in six Australians is affected by hearing loss. With an aging
population, this is expected to increase to one in four...by 2050.” While aging
is one of the most common causes of hearing loss, exposure to loud noise is
another leading contributor. Other medical conditions may also lead to hearing
impairment.
What are the
treatment options for hearing loss?
Depending on the nature of the hearing loss, several treatment
options are available. For example, in conductive hearing loss, the hearing
loss occurs due to ear wax or fluid build-up in the middle ear. Such cases are
treated by clearing up the wax or the fluid. If the hearing does not improve
with these medical interventions, then hearings aids or cochlear implants might
be helpful.
The other type is known as the sensorineural hearing loss
which is permanent in nature and is caused due to damage in the inner ear
cells. In most cases, hearing implants can help improve the situation.
Benefits of using
professional hearing care
By opting for professional
hearing care services, you can get your condition evaluated and manage your
hearing impairment. Depending on your specific case, the hearing care services
will fit you with hearing aids or suggest
other options so that you can make an informed decision.
Gone are the days, when the hearing aids were bulky and very
visible. They are now available in different shapes, sizes and colours to suit your personality and meet your
needs. They are hardly visible and can be as tiny as a button.
What to expect from
professional hearing care?
Before a treatment plan, you need to understand where you
are currently in terms of hearing. Professional hearing care can help you
assess your condition. Whether it’s tinnitus or a complete hearing loss, you
will be assessed using the latest hearing aid technology. They will then work
closely with you to understand your requirement and will provide a solution
accordingly so that you continue to live your life unaffected.
Are hearing aids
suitable for me?
Although they don’t restore hearing, they can certainly
improve your condition. You can hear better, participate meaningfully in a
conversation, understand conversations over the telephone, and improve your
overall quality of life.
