Hello Everyone,
I am currently pursuing my Master's in Speech Language Pathology and one of my assignments in my Audiology class is to find people who have hearing aids and ask them the following questions:
1. How long have you worn your hearing aids?
2. For how long before you got your hearing aids did you suspect you had a hearing loss?
3. How long do you wear your hearing aids each day?
4. Do you feel like you get benefit from your hearing aids?
5. What complaints do you have about your hearing aids?
6. Do you feel like your hearing aids have lived up to what your audiologist or hearing
aid dealer told you they would do?
7. Did you get your hearing aids from an audiologist or a hearing aid dealer?
If anyone could help me I would really appreciate it!
Thank You,
Aria Farsi

Help non-profit World Wide Hearing to get funding by liking our video (takes less than 2 minutes)
Hi all,
Given that you are surfing this site, you most likely have an idea of how much hearing problems can affect someone’s life and may be willing to help our cause (/World Wide Hearing) by investing 2 minutes of your time and voting for our video. You can as well feel free to forward the information below.
In brief, WWH’s (wwhearing.org) mission is to provide children and teenagers in developing countries with affordable hearing aids. This is a video taken during a recent pilot project:
youtube.com/watch?v=Pesy_vdYrm8
We are currently in process of applying for government funding which would allow us to launch our first major project. One criterion used to evaluate our application is the number of “likes” we get for our video at
crs.applications.grandchallenges.ca/en/viewVideo/28735E6AA7E936A8937B26
If you think this cause is worthy, please click on “Log in to like this video” and register using your email address (“create a new account”) and confirm the registration using the link sent to your email. Then log in to like the video. All of this takes less than 2 minutes. The voting will close end of May 2012.
As WWH is not the standard applicant to this program (we innovate in business rather than in e.g. medicine), each vote matters even more. Feel free to help us spreading the word by posting this on your own wall. Thanks so much for your support!
I hope it is ok for me to post this here and truly appreciate your time.
Gunnar Grass,
Ambassador of World Wide Hearing

Most of the hearing aids have got sweep action for volume control, it is very easy one just touch your hearing aid with a finger and sweep the tiny volume regulator according to your adjustment. That's it. But it might be so that the different companies hearing aids may have different option for it.

Hi Friends!!!!!
In general, these hearing aids have a a simple small amplifier embedded in the aids which amplifies, the sound which makes the sound more clear and louder to hear, which is felt as quite comfortable. Else, I don't think that particularly for listening music there are some special hearing aids.

Exactly the steps given for working of hearing aids are as the hearing aids work, firstly they percepts the sound and then the circuit deciphers it and then it is programmed using a built in software, and then further the sound can be heard using the power supplied through the battery.

Ya its obvious that if you will not get the ear wax removed and if it gets piled up then you are going to face a major problem rather than you have it now. So, I will suggest you to get it cleaned. First consult to an audiologist about it and better do as the audiologist says. Then you can avoid your hearing loss. And at now this could be an initial stage for your hearing loss the wax has piled up in bulk, So better hurry to an Audiologist ASAP.

Hi everybody,
I lost a lot of hearing in my right ear about 2 weeks ago, quite suddenly and suffer from tinnitis as well in that ear but that doesn't bother me too much at the moment.
Initially I thought it was a wax build up as I had to have the same ear syringed a long time ago so I went to the GP practice nurse and there is no wax in my right ear so next stop my doctor who will not doubt refer me to hospital for an ear checkup.
If I could, could I run a few things past you good people for your advice as it will help me and thank you for your patience.
1 Say if you have moderate hearing loss in one ear only and you are listening to tv, can you hear the tv volume at a low level in affected ear which seems quite distinct from the normal loud tv volume that you hear in your good ear?
This is the problem that I find the most irritating. I can hear the tv perfectly clearly in my good ear and the direction that the sound is coming from, but at the same time I can hear a very low volume sound of the tv in my bad right ear which sounds as of there is an earpiece attaached to my bad ear, which I find very disconcerting. Its probably something to do with the way my brain is attempting to make sense of the hearing loss. Any advice on this appreciated and if you have the same problem.
2 Is it normal to sort of grieve and blame oneself for lost hearing as I seem to be doing particularly as I feel that I could well be partly to blame due to using power tools and lawn mower but too late now if indeed this is the cause?
3 As I have fairly poor eyesight and use powerful spectacles for reading computer etc which probably come off and on at least a dozen times a day, do you think this could create problems with a behind the ear aid which is the main one offered On the NHS in UK?
Thank you very much for your kind help as this hearing problem has been a big shock to me.
