Can I wear it if I wear a hearing aid?

However, when wearing Hearing aid /After the earplug, the external auditory canal is blocked, and the energy of the cartilage vibration cannot be released, but is stored in the auditory canal; the hearing threshold of low-frequency bone conduction rises, and the ear blocking effect occurs.

Sound aspectUncomfortable
1) The sound is too noisy and inaudible: It is usually reflected in too much high-frequency or low-frequency noise, which masks the voice in the speech frequency area and makes the patient unable to hear others; there is another possibility that the high-frequency compensation is not enough, which also causes the patient The language resolution is poor.
Solution: According to the patient’s hearing loss status and the frequency characteristics of the hearing aid, while referring to the patient’s subjective response to the sound, appropriately adjust the frequency response of the hearing aid to meet the needs of the patient.
2) The sound is too harsh and unbearable: usually it does not reflect that the volume is too high, but the maximum output of the hearing aid exceeds the patient’s discomfort threshold. Therefore, when listening to loud sounds, the patient feels too harsh, and when the volume is turned down, it is again can not hear.If it is with output adjustment function Hearing aid , Can reduce the maximum output of the hearing aid; if it is a low-end linear hearing aid, and there is no peak clipping limit, you can only replace a Haizhisheng hearing aid with compression function.
3) Howling: Hearing aid users often complain that the hearing aid sometimes emits “screams” during wearing. This is acoustic feedback. This is because the sound amplified by the hearing aid is transmitted into the ear and then reflected by the tympanic membrane or ear canal again Leaking out of the ear canal and returning to the microphone of the hearing aid.See above for treatment method.
4) Echo when speaking: Basically, it is caused by too much low-frequency gain of the hearing aid. Appropriate reduction of low-frequency or total volume can get satisfactory results.Another possibility is that compression line hearing aids have low inflection points and excessive compression. Appropriate adjustment of compression characteristics can significantly improve the compression characteristics.

Uncomfortable to wear
1) The ears are uncomfortable and stuffy: If the patient’s hearing loss is not very serious (for example, no more than 70 decibels), the sound of the sound of the sea hearing aid can get a satisfactory effect after opening the air hole.
2) The ear canal feels tingling: carefully observe the ear canal with an otoscope to see if there is a local red spot inside the ear canal. Go to the voice tube, will the problem be solved?If not, you may have to use tools to polish it.
3) Redness, swelling and pain in the ear canal: If it is not particularly swollen and painful, the redness and swelling area of ​​the otoscope is large, and it is very likely that the patient’s ear canal is allergic. This situation is rare, but there is no particularly effective way to replace it. The allergy shell is a way to try.

Everyone’s situation is different and the time to adapt is different, so patience is required.

Just like your eyes in the dark suddenly find light, or suddenly turn on the light when you sleep, your eyes will feel uncomfortable.Just like wearing a hearing aid, if you suddenly hear some sounds that you can’t hear, you should learn and accept these sounds.

Recommendation: If it is the first time to wear a hearing aid, it is recommended to choose a BTE hearing aid, which has the best effect when worn.Compared with the custom-made hearing aids of the same model, the price of BTE is relatively lower, and the listening effect is better.Of course, if you have an appearance requirement, you can also choose a customized hearing aid.
