Many untreated hearing loss patients in the world may not know that the lack of effective hearing rehabilitation may eventually lead their brains to “forget” how to listen and understand words. This is not a worry. Many studies have now fully proved that the human brain must always receive sound stimulation, otherwise there will be a decline in understanding ability.

“If the brain can’t receive enough sound stimulation for a period of time, it will lose some of its ability to process information.” American audiologist Bayer said in a report: “This condition is called auditory deprivation. Studies have shown that The longer the patient’s lack of treatment, the more likely the brain will forget how to deal with the speech signal, and even if it is treated in the future, the situation will continue.” Bayer added, “These findings clearly show that like many people today. The hearing loss treatment has been delayed for many years, and the patient is at risk of permanent damage to the brain.”

The following facts are enough to cause people to pay attention to hearing loss:

◇ According to the University of California Neurosurgery data, although 95% hearing loss Americans can successfully treat with hearing aids, only one in five patients currently use hearing aids;

◇ According to the data of the hearing exchange center, the average hearing-impaired patient needs to wait for 7 years to seek treatment.

◇ Hearing impaired patients will be blocked, which will seriously affect their professional and personal life, and will lead to psychological barriers such as loneliness and social evasion;

十分 Ten out of ten hearing aid users claim that quality of life has improved with the use of hearing aids.

In most cases, hearing loss progresses slowly and becomes more severe over time, so hearing tests are performed on a regular basis, and patients with hearing loss are urged to seek medical attention in a timely manner to avoid the risk and consequences of hearing deprivation. Hearing loss generally has the following signs or symptoms:

1, I think people are talking, I don’t know.

2, some people have difficulty understanding

3, it’s hard to talk by phone

4, family and friends remind you that you need to repeat your speech to understand

5, it’s difficult to understand conversations in a crowded room

6, others complain that they are driving the TV to a loud volume, which is uncomfortable.

7, start feeling tinnitus

If someone starts to notice any of the above problems, they should go to the hospital immediately and take appropriate treatment and rehabilitation measures.
