Many people with hearing loss often have concerns when considering wearing hearing aids. Will wearing hearing aids make us increasingly deaf? This doubt mainly stems from a lack of understanding of the working principle of hearing aids, as well as some non-standard use cases of hearing aids.
In fact, wearing hearing aids correctly does not make one increasingly deaf. A hearing aid is an electronic device that can help improve hearing, compensate for hearing loss, help the brain continuously receive sound signals, amplify specific frequency bands of sound, and avoid noise damage caused by excessive amplification. If a patient has hearing loss, wearing a hearing aid can improve the problem of hearing loss. When wearing hearing aids, it is also important to pay attention to the following points to avoid secondary damage to hearing loss.
1. Ear infection or earwax blockage of hearing aids. Never cleaning the ears and hearing aids can breed bacteria, leading to inflammation of the ear canal or the formation of earwax that can block the hearing aids and weaken their function.
2. Purchase inappropriate hearing aids without professional and accurate hearing tests. Choosing the right hearing aid is very important. Under the guidance of professionals, choose the appropriate power hearing aid according to the degree of hearing loss.
3. The earplugs are not suitable. Seemingly insignificant little thing can seriously affect the function of hearing aids and our hearing. When we do not choose suitable earplugs that cannot create a closed space, and hearing aids will mistakenly amplify irrelevant noise.
4. Turn the volume of the hearing aid too high. Long term use of hearing aids with excessively high volume can cause noise induced hearing loss.
In all, correctly fitting and using hearing aids will not cause deafness as one wears them, but rather help protect residual hearing.
