The two ears have the effect of balance, three-dimensional and superimposed sound.If there is a hearing loss in one ear, it will affect the sense of direction and clarity of the sound, and long-term single-ear listening will increase the pressure on the good ear, and the ear with hearing loss will also be affected by the long-term lack of sufficient sound stimulation. Causes a decline in speech discrimination.If you do not take active rehabilitation measures, and passively wait for the hearing loss of the opposite ear before wearing it in that ear.As a result, the hearing of hearing aid ears continues to decline, faster and more severely, and eventually loses good listening ability.Earlier ones were worn by patients with unilateral deafnessHearing aid, Can avoid or slow down the hearing loss of the healthy side ear.
For patients with unilateral deafness, it is more difficult to wear hearing aids, because even the best hearing aids are not as good as our normal ears. After wearing a hearing aid, the ear with the hearing aid will be compared with the good ear, so I always feel the effect not good.In fact, what really needs to be compared is to compare it with when you don’t wear a hearing aid, because after wearing a hearing aid, the two ears are balanced, the overall loudness increases, there is a sense of direction, and persistence can also protect the residual hearing and reduce the ears. burden.
Some deaf patients think that unilateral deafness does not need to wearHearing aid, This is a very wrong understanding.Because unilateral deafness will not only bring a lot of inconvenience to life, but also loss of hearing in the other ear.Hearing activities in one ear will consume more energy, making the ear in a long-term overloaded work state, and hearing loss will occur over time.It is recommended that patients with unilateral deafness must not ignore this problem, and go to a professional hearing aid fitting center to test their hearing as soon as possible, and choose hearing aids.
