Noise-induced hearing lossWhat should I pay attention to when fitting hearing aids?

      Noise-induced deafness is a kind of sensorineural deafness caused by a slow and gradual hearing loss caused by a person’s long-term exposure to noise stimuli above 85dB.Patients may experience tinnitus or auditory hallucinations.In the pure tone test chart, you will find that the hearing loss is severe in the high frequency area.Therefore, it is very important to choose hearing aids in the fitting of hearing aids. Generally, hearing aids must have tinnitus masking function and audio frequency transfer function. The configuration of hearing aids should be relatively high-end, so that it will be of great help to users.

Although some patients always complain before, it is difficult to significantly improve the speech recognition rate in noise.However, as the current major hearing aid manufacturers begin to enter the field of artificial intelligence, potentially providing new solutions to the long-standing “cocktail party” problem.

      Fit patients with noise-induced hearing loss as early as possibleHearing aid, It can avoid or slow down the hearing loss of the better ears, and at the same time, the poor ears are also exercised after moderate sound stimulation, which restores the potential auditory function to a certain extent.When adjusting the hearing aid, the gain should not be too large to avoid damage to the residual hearing. In particular, it should be avoided that the high-frequency gain is too large to further damage the high-frequency hearing.
