The sound of the hearing aid is very loud and clear, but why does Grandpa still find it difficult to hear?

       The focus of hearing aids is to help amplify sounds, but they cannot help distinguish sounds. To distinguish sounds, the patient’s own auditory nerve (inner ear structure) and auditory center are still needed.But our brains are very powerful and have a degree of recognition for listening to sounds. Recognizing 70% of a paragraph is enough to ensure that we understand it, not 100% recognition.According to many years of clinical verification by audiologists in different countries: For patients with inner ear auditory nerve damage or auditory center disorders, listening to sounds needs to reduce noise interference as much as possible.Therefore, when such patients choose hearing aids, they need better noise reduction.

9. Personal expectations are too high (hearing aids cannot reach normal hearing). In fact, hearing aids cannot completely solve all hearing problems. Everyone’s situation is different. Hearing and hearing clearly are two different things.One of the hearing tests is speech resolution.If the resolution is poor, the effect of wearing a hearing aid will be worse.At present, hearing aids cannot completely replace human ears, but can only play an auxiliary role.

       In addition, if the selection is not appropriate, the debugging is not appropriate, there will be such problems.But I think it is more about the resolution of speech, which requires the patients themselves to contact more, communicate more with others, try to listen as much as possible, and read the newspapers by themselves or their family members every day, and read them out loud.There is also a need to adapt to outside sounds after wearing a hearing aid. Because deaf patients have not been exposed to outside sounds for a long time, they will have a certain degree of discomfort after wearing a hearing aid, which may also lead to hearing but not hearing clearly.You can go to a hearing aid store and ask them to help you solve it.
