Hearing Aid HealthCare Testimonial | Deloris

Deloris visited Hearing Aid HealthCare one year ago. Before that her children and her husband were telling her that she wasn’t hearing very well.

She loves her hearing aids. The background noise no longer bothers her. She can now hear her granddaughter.

She would highly recommend Hearing Aid HealthCare!

Sudden Hearing Loss


Sudden Hearing Loss


Sudden hearing loss can be a very scary condition and if this happens to you, it can make you very anxious. Any type of hearing loss warrants a trip to your doctor and you want to make sure that you do this right away. You do not want to deal with this on your own and your doctor may have many solutions that you can try.

When hearing loss happens suddenly, it is normally caused by an underlying medical condition and this is why it is stressed that you visit a physician right away. You may be nervous to find out these results, but you need to keep in mind that most cases of hearing loss that happen suddenly resolve with treatment. You may not be dealing with permanent hearing loss, but this is something that you will want to rule out with your doctor.

If your hearing loss happens suddenly in one ear, you may find that it is only a matter of time before the other ear is affected. When you lose hearing in both ears, you may find that you feel very isolated. If your hearing loss is of a more permanent nature, you will want to work with your doctor for a solution such as hearing aids.

Sudden hearing loss can happen to anyone at anytime and figuring out the cause is something that you want to pursue. If your hearing loss is not medically related, there are some great ways to regain hearing and also your life.

Hearing Loss In Middle Age


Hearing Loss


Hearing loss in middle age is something that is becoming more common. Hearing Aid Specialists are seeing younger patients more and more in their office for hearing problems. Hearing loss used to be reserved for largely the elderly population but that is changing.

There are a couple of different reasons that hearing loss can occur in middle age, but often men suffer more than women. This could be due to occupation choices that men often take to support their families.

Years ago many men worked in a factory setting and this was often a very noisy place to work many hours each week. This has taken many years to catch up to many of the factory workers of the past.

Another issue that many men face in middle age is cardiovascular disease. This can affect the hearing and conditions like tinnitus. Tinnitus can cause noises in the ear that can interrupt daily life.

Statins that men take for cardiovascular disease often cause problems with hearing. You will need to talk to your doctor about any problems you are having because of the medication you are on. Changing medications can be an option to give you relief.

Hearing aids can help anyone restore some of the hearing loss they have experienced. Hearing aids have come a long way over the years and this can be a great option to help reduce the problems that hearing loss can cause.

No one should live with hearing loss and there are many options for people that are not reserved only to the elderly. Middle age men as well as women have many options to help combat hearing loss.

Hearing Frequency – Covers a Broad Range

Hearing FrequencyThe typical hearing response covers a broad range of frequencies. For a healthy young person, this is normally from 20 to 20,000 hertz. Our ability to discern these ranges helps us to hear low rumbling sounds and very highly pitched sounds.

As we age, our ability to hear higher frequency sounds lessens. This is natural and under normal circumstances does not have a great deal of impact. However exposure to loud noise over extended periods of time can cause some hearing loss and have a greater impact than what would normally be expected.

The hearing frequency range which most people can hear is very different than for many other animals. For example, a dog can normally sense sound from 40 Hz to 60,000 Hz.

We are probably familiar with a “silent” dog whistle. It produces sound which is above a frequency that your ears to sense. However, it is still within the range for dogs and is therefore a good way to alert our pets without disturbing other people.

Dogs have specialized muscles in their ears to help train and focus on the sounds which enhances their ability to hear subtle sounds as well as sounds in higher frequency ranges. This is a very useful ability for guard dogs so they can sense the presence of intruders or other unusual sounds.

Bats have incredibly sensitive hearing and can have hearing frequencies which range from 20 Hz to 120,000 Hz. This kind of sensitivity enables them to locate prey by using a process called echolocation.

They create a high pitched sound which bounces off their prey. The bat can discern this sound and interpret the location and type of prey in this way.

So as you can see, the frequency range for a human is not as broad as many animals. Since we humans can use our intelligence to help protect ourselves, it has not been as important that we can sense higher frequency sounds. Nature seems to do a good job and evolve our senses to an optimum level for our environment.

As was indicated earlier, a healthy 20 year old can typically hear frequencies in the range from 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. The ability to hear higher frequencies does deteriorate over age.

For example, a typical middle aged male can discern upper range frequencies of 12,000 to 14,000 Hz. And the hearing range for men typically worsens faster than for women of the same age.
