Everyone mumbles when they talk to me. Yes, there may be a few people who do indeed mumble, but if you think everyone mumbles, a hearing evaluation is in order. My hearing is normal for my age. Other physical ailments may be normal for your age, but shouldn’t you receive help for the problem? I only have a hearing loss in the high frequencies . High frequencies are the most important for speech understanding. This is especially true when background noise is present because noise is a low frequency sound and it takes over speech in the region of normal hearing. I only need one hearing aid. The human ears were designed to bring balanced sound from both sides and to localize the direction of sound. Being able to hear from both sides in a balanced manner allows for improved clarity and speech discrimination. Hearing from both sides allows us to hear approximately four times farther than with one ear and allows for easier speech detection in a noisy environment. Hearing aids make everything too loud. Today’s digital hearing aid technology amplifies only the frequencies you need with the appropriate amount of loudness. digital hearing aids have the technology to automatically convert sounds to your individual needs. Loud sounds are automatically reduced without adjusting the speech level. |
