Hearing Loss is Invisible
Hearing loss, regardless of degree, can interfere with one's ability to participate in a world that greatly depends on communication for social, educational, and occupational activities. The primary mechanism for perceiving sound is through our sense of hearing. It has been described as a critical entrance to the brain, but, when that entrance is blocked or obscured, there may be a miscommunication. It is not easy for others to know you have a hearing loss just by looking at you. The physical impact is the effect it has on your ability to communicate, learn, and participate in social, educational, and occupational activities.
Losing your Senses
A loss of hearing may make it seem others are mumbling or may result in you becoming frustrated. In fact, understanding of speech occurs in your brain, not in your ears. If the information your brain is receiving is distorted by a loss of hearing, then it's like reading a book that is missing every other page. You may be able to guess what is missing but most of the time you are going to guess incorrectly.
Auditory Confusion
It took decades for your brain to learn the meaning of sounds presented through normal hearing ears. Now, with a decrease in your hearing, your brain must translate distorted information into meaningful sound. Fortunately, professional assistance and technology from Starkey is now available to resolve your hearing problems. |
