In Canada and the U.S., the newborn hearing screening process has screened almost all births each year. So why do children need a hearing screening? After reviewing the medical records of 326 children who had hearing loss, a study found that not all children with hearing loss were detected by newborn hearing screening. First, not all childhood hearing loss is present at birth. Babies with milder or progressive hearing losses may pass their newborn screenings, while others may unfortunately be lost to follow-up. Also, children born outside of the country may never been screened as a newborn. Many school districts do not mandate hearing screening in schools. Children spend approximately 60% of the school day listening. When children do not develop age-appropriate communication skills, do not acquire the basic phonemic skills to develop literacy, or do not make adequate general academic progress, there may be an assumption that the delays are due to reasons other than hearing ability.

thank u!!!! i really love u 😭😭

I have used hearing aids for years and I recently experienced 'Abrupt Hearing Loss' and I'm told that I'll probably be totally deaf in my left ear and since I'm experiencing issues in my right ear it's possible that I will lose all hearing in it as well. So, I'm scrambling to find a good lip reading course and I am willing to pay for a good service but I want to be confident that I will quickly learn to lip read. In this first lesson I didn't do very well and something that confused me was the use of words that were out of context. I understand that I need to be able to substitute and 'fill in the blanks'. But for now when I'm reading your lips in the exercise I find that not being a lip reader to begin with hinders me from recognizing that a word needs to be substituted. I think that if I go back and do it again I may see some improvement. If you see this within a few hours, can you comment on my comment and maybe give me some ideas? Thank you.

Also probably decline in cognitive function

Safe practices include: Reducing the volume by 50% or less using noise-canceling headphones that reduce surrounding noises that can compete with sound from the games. Taking frequent breaks every hour or so, giving the ears a break. Paying attention to hearing levels and seeing a hearing care professional if reduced hearing ability is noted. Monitor and track hearing via online hearing screening tools (such as hearWHO or Mimi). Stay tuned for the World Health Organization’s (WHO) release of a new global safe listening standard on video gaming.

A research study looked at the effect of multi-tasking on young adults with hearing aids (HA). Subjects had to maintain balance under single-task (ST) and dual-task (DT) conditions. In the DT condition, there was a visual cognitive task (Backward Digit Recall) while standing on a force plate. (A force plate is an instrument that detects and measures forces exerted onto the ground during movement.) The results showed that scores of HA users decreased significantly in the DT compared to the ST. Compared to young adults with normal hearing, hearing aid users’ scores were lower in the DT. This suggests that the presence of a visual cognitive additional task has a negative impact on balance in young adults with hearing aids. These findings highlight the importance of considering the impact of cognitive tasks on balance performance in young adults with hearing aids. Further studies should investigate the specific needs of hearing loss patients in multitasking conditions, including age, degree of hearing loss, and cognitive ability, to develop effective interventions to reduce the risk of falls. pubs.asha.org/doi/10.1044/2024_JSLHR-23-00530 5.

Cauliflower ear is a deformity of the ear caused by a hit - or repeated hits - to the ear. This leads to small pools of blood (hematomas) that clot and block the flow of blood and nutrients. It's also called subperichondrial hematoma, wrestler’s ear, and boxer’s ear. Left untreated, this type of injury can lead to a blockage that prevents blood flow and damages tissue. As a result, part of the ear looks bumpy or lumpy, similar to a cauliflower. Early treatment can help prevent permanent deformity. A study looked at 28 male wrestlers aged 18-35 years with cauliflower ears on both sides. Wrestlers with cauliflower ears exhibited significantly poorer hearing thresholds than the control group, particularly at frequencies above 4000 Hz. In addition, the ear canal resonance of the wrestlers was affected. Each of us has a resonance of the ear canal, where certain pitches are enhanced, just by virtue of the shape and length of the ear canal! It is crucial to advocate for the use of ear protection equipment among wrestlers. When fitting hearing aids, attention should be given to changes in the ear canal resonance.

Some of the shorter sentences were easy enough without context, but the longer or more complicated one really helped to have the context.

What happens in a conversation between a younger adult with normal hearing, and an older adult with hearing loss? And what if the conversation is taking place in a relatively easy situation-in a quiet place, and a one-to-one interaction? A research study found that it depends-on whether the older adult is wearing hearing aids. The first variable is taking turns in a conversation. In the study, they found that older adults without hearing aids were slower and more variable at timing their turns. This might affect how the conversation flows, and probably how long we would want to keep talking to each other. Another difference when adults were not wearing hearing aids was that conversations were less interactive, and both people spoke louder. A big takeaway for me is that the other person in the interaction is affected by the hearing loss. Communication will potentially flow less easily. In my experience, when communication is difficult, there is less communication. pubs.asha.org/doi/10.1044/2024_JSLHR-23-00667

There are risks involved in getting a cochlear implant. Inserting a cochlear implant destroys any residual hearing in the operated ear. Thus, one cannot go back to wearing a hearing aid if it doesn’t work out. The standard surgical risks of a cochlear implant are all quite rare. These include bleeding, infection, device malfunction, facial nerve weakness, ringing in the ear, dizziness, and a poor hearing result. For me, it’s been a wonderful experience. Glad I got a second chance!

Awww do not worry she is save in heaven

It is important not to focus solely on hearing loss or hearing aids because dementia risk may be attributable to many other health factors that intersect with hearing loss and communication. There is still no evidence based on randomized, controlled trial (RCT) studies that treating hearing loss reduces the risk of dementia. ACHIEVE is the first RCT to investigate if comprehensive audiologic rehab (AR), not just hearing aid use, could reduce the rate of decline in cognitive performance. The ACHIEVE results released in July 2023 showed no significant overall effect of AR on the rate of cognitive decline. There was slower cognitive decline in a specific higher risk sub-group, that began the study with poorer cognitive performance and other risk factors for dementia (smoked more, less education, more often lived alone, more likely to have diabetes and hypertension). Hearing loss is only one of a growing set of risk factors for dementia. For example, sleep disturbances, LDL cholesterol, and vision loss have been added to the list over time. People living with hearing loss may find it worthwhile to learn about the importance of non-audiologic risk factors. For example, the management of health conditions (depression, hypertension, obesity, diabetes) and making lifestyle changes (more physical activity, more social engagement, not smoking, not consuming excessive amounts of alcohol). Most importantly, hearing solutions may improve communication abilities conducive to increasing physical and social activities.

Climate change forced me into warehouse work for most of my youth. It caused procrastination and girl chasing in school. Luckily, Im 10 years gullable now after getting out of that lifestyle and looking forward to our voluntary taxes we said we'd pay to help out our economy recover from 1 and world war 2 go way the hell up before the digital currency gets forced upon a country that should have nothing forced on it. We the people agreed on that and how the fuck em I still typing, is this not tik tok and its 33.6 character limit. It's like I can finish a thought now, wow, and that's not a good thing. No worries, thoughts will he banned right after gardening your own food does, but not before the regulation of anticipation hits. Yes thoughts, food, anticipation, will all be lost forever. If you made it this far reading this I want to apologize to you and the time you gave to end up here.

It’s a common experience-entering a room, only to realize you've forgotten what you went there to do. It’s been documented in research studies, too. Memory is worse after passing through a doorway than after walking the same distance within a single room. Did you know that the “doorway effect” is actually a good strategy to optimize memory? Some forms of memory seem to be optimized to keep information ready-to-hand until its shelf life expires, and then purge that information in favour of new stuff. Walking through a doorway is a good time to purge your memory because whatever happened in the old room is likely to become less relevant now that you have changed rooms. We can’t keep everything ready-to-hand, and most of the time this strategy functions beautifully. It’s only when it doesn’t work for us, that we become aware of it.

I have tinnitus. It was a struggle at first but trined myself to embrace and consider it as a comfort blanket. Strange I know, but it is the only way I can find to accept it.

Mine sounds like a ban saw.

Take my money! 😮

It’s well past time for me. This is my sign to make that call now.

Creepy 😮 But cool 😎

I’m a bit confused… what do you mean by “signal to noise”??

We all need a favourable signal-to-noise ratio to hear well in noise. But did you know that it is particularly important for children? Children don't hear as well as adults do when there is background noise in the listening environment. In a typical, noisy classroom, the signal-to-noise ratio will vary from + 5 to - 7 dB. At a 0 dB signal-to-noise ratio, speech intelligibility is about 60% for 6-7-year-olds with normal hearing.

Me, every time I reassign my video game controls😵‍💫🙃

An here's me all these years, wasting my time going upside down to see upside down like a fool. All I needed to do was turn my sunglasses upside down. Thanks 👍

Hogwash

"I see," said the Blind Man who said to his deaf dog as he gently pissed in the wind.

Will the people also dream upside down?

Awesome sauce

Cool!

The ACHIEVE trial results published in 2023 provide evidence that comprehensive aural rehab, with hearing aid use, effectively improves communication outcomes. However, there was no significant overall effect of aural rehab on the rate of cognitive decline. A reduction in the rate of cognitive decline was only observed for a subgroup who had other risk factors for dementia, insofar as they were older, had poorer health, and started the trial with poorer cognition. For those living with hearing loss who are concerned about cognitive decline, a discussion of multiple ways to reduce the risk of dementia may be appropriate.

I got spice and life, was I correct? these videos are very helpful!

This is such skibidi brainrot

Bro what in the brainrot is this

All I got right was “no that’s not it”😭

In Star Wars, Luke Skywalker hesitantly says he will ‘try’ to complete a task. Yoda, the warrior mystic, replies: ‘No! Try not. Do, or do not. There is no try.’ Anytime you say that you will ‘try’ something, your words imply a lack of commitment. They suggest that you feel that you won’t be able to keep your commitment. Do it or don’t do it, but don’t just try. If Yoda decided to get hearing aids, he’d give it his best shot. Here is what Yoda would suggest: Find the right hearing healthcare professional. Ask your friends, co-workers, and acquaintances about their hearing healthcare professionals. Favourable word-of-mouth referrals are golden, and the professionals who work for them deserve your business. Bring your significant other to your appointments. You’ll need support. It’s also important for your significant other to have realistic expectations about your new hearing aids. Get two hearing aids. If two hearing aids are recommended, follow that recommendation. Wear your hearing aids consistently. Wear your hearing aids full-time during your trial period (and beyond). Make and keep follow-up appointments. Adjusting to hearing aids is a process, and your follow-up appointments are a crucial part of the process. Start an auditory training program. There are some key changes in our brain as we get older that affect our ability to hear in challenging listening environments-even for people with normal hearing. Even older adults with normal hearing have difficulty in challenging listening environments, so hearing aids are not the whole solution. Auditory training helps to address these brain changes and make it easier to communicate. Chances are that the reason you wanted hearing aids in the first place is that you’re having difficulty communicating. Getting new hearing aids is a big step. Are you ready to give it your best efforts?

I have enjoyed these classes very much and know now how difficult it is .Some words/sentences are easier to understand, others almost impossible. Needs more work!

What is the little black thing clipped to your collar? Unfortunately, it takes away from your presentation in a big way.

Cognitive dissonance happens when you hold two conflicting thoughts in your mind at the same time - Like denying hearing loss while still being aware of having communication difficulties. Canadian Audiologist published an article by Bill Hodgetts, PhD, called “Psychological Dimensions of Hearing Healthcare: Audiology is More Than Just Diagnoses and Devices” in Canadian Audiologist (Vol 11, Issue 3, 2024). I wanted to bring Bill’s ideas to life by creating a reel about cognitive dissonance. When a person denies hearing loss, this narrative creates tension because it conflicts with awareness of having difficulties. I realized after watching the reel that these thoughts conflict with themselves and each other. What we know to be true and what we want to be true can co-exist. One isn’t necessarily true-er than the other! “Resolving a patient’s cognitive dissonance for various factors is a huge part of our job. Addressing cognitive dissonance in audiology involves education, counseling, and support to help reconcile conflicting beliefs.”

Thank you for asking. Please go ahead.

Hello, good day. Would you allow me to record your videos and translate and publish it in the language of my country?

Several research studies have looked at the ability to recall a sequence of items in the presence of background noise. Noise was particularly impactful when the children were exposed to “irrelevant sound,” especially when the sound had a changing-state characteristic (e.g., background speech, as opposed to steady-state white noise). An example of this in practical terms would be the high levels of noise present when students are involved in group work (irrelevant sound), which could be said to have a greater effect on memory than the background noise of a fan (steady-state sound). Once again, age was associated with poorer results. Recall performance dropped by 39% in the presence of noise (relative to quiet) in the second graders, compared to an 11% decrease in adults.

Ha, I am starting to understand things! This is so encouraging. I repeat your lesson after I listen and listen to it again the next day, before starting the next one. There is improvement. Do NOT give up!
