Question of the Day: Do you feel like you have a better understanding of hearing loss after listening to this simulation? ★ FREE eBook ★ “How To Buy Hearing Aids” www.profithearing.com/ebook/
No. I'm over 50% deaf, and my hearing loss is all in the high frequency range(caused by nerve damage from chemo), and that's ***NOTHING*** like what it sounds like. People aren't just quieter🤦🤦There are literal gaps in speech, and I just hear chunks of sound(but at normal volume) while low tones, like bass or fans running, or even my hood rubbing on my ear, or water running through pipes/taps, drown everything else out, and can be so loud they feel overwhelming. So no actually, *nobody* has a better understanding of that after this video, because it's inaccurate and you demonstrated none of that!🤗 💁
Interesting simulation. I worked with a guy who's ears were so bad he couldn't hear a vacuum cleaner even thought it was annoyingly loud to me. He said he could hear the wheels rattling, but couldn't hear the motor. I'm always insistent on wearing ear protection around loud stuff because that would be awful.
Wow...I THOUGHT I Had educated myself fairly well on this subject, as my 12 -year-old son (technically I have to state “step-son” whatever!) was born with major hearing impairments He was born CMV positive, (cytomegalovirus) which is the #1 cause of childhood deafness. He now has a Cochlear implant on the left (he was 100% deaf on the left before), and a hearing aide on the right. He has moderate loss on the right side. Today, my husband had his hearing properly tested in the booth, and he has severe loss in mid to high frequency ranges. He can hear our son’s insulin pump alarms, but is unable to hear his feeding tube machine. Ironically, my voice falls into that category. He will be getting bilateral hearing aides at aged 44, mostly because he has worked in refineries since before he graduated college, and exclusively since graduating. He is an engineer for electrical and instrumentation. I had NO IDEA how frustrating life must get for him until watching and listening to this video. It shocked me to my core. Thank you for this demonstration . I will be much more understanding.
I appreciate the time and energy you have taken to educate yourself on hearing impairment. I am grateful this video has offered you additional insight. My hope is that your family experiences many benefits from today’s technology to improve hearing. Thanks so much for the comment and for watching!
I have mild hearing loss (it may be either conducive or sensory neuron type). I'm an MBBS student. I have to hear the sound of cardiac & respiratory patients who have different heart and lung sounds respectively. But it’s very difficult for me to differentiate those sounds. Also difficult to understand what teacher or patient says. If I would realize before being admitted in the government medical college that I'm not perfectly eligible to be physician or medical doctor, no decision to be admitted in medical college could come in my mind. But, whatever has happened, there is no gain in regret. I can understand at every moment how great the grace of the Creator is to be able to hear well.
Thank you!! I was able to play this for my husband to make him understand why I hear him say things differently than what he actually said. I have severely sloping HF hearing loss.
This was great! I was wondering if you could explain the effects of extended high frequency hearing loss? My ENT detected a notch in the 12kHz - 14kHz range, but he didn't properly explain what that actually means for my hearing.
Some studies have concluded that extended high frequency hearing loss (above 8 kHz) could be related to tinnitus and difficulty understanding speech in noise. Standard hearing testing is up to 8k with extended high frequency testing usually reserved for ototoxicity monitoring. Hearing loss above 8k is typically not measured nor expected to have a functional impact on communication. There is also high variability in extended high frequency thresholds between people. Please follow-up with your ENT for specific guidance. Thanks for watching!
Hello! I suffer of unilateral deafness since childhood when I had mumps disease.. basicaly, I cannot hear anything with my right ear. But my left ear was normal until 23 years old when I began losing some hearing. Now I'm 26 years old and I have -35db At 4khz and -45db At 8khz on my left ear. The lower frequencies are pretty normal (0-10db). Now I wanna ask you something: can a hearing aid improve my hearing in my left ear? If yes, What kind of hearing aid? On the other side, is there anything I could do to hear with my right ear even a little bit? Thank you
Very well done and easy to understand and follow. Thanks for taking the time to enlighten us with the important information . I now have a much better understanding of "high frequency hearing loss"
Sir I used earphone for 1 month with max volume 6~7 hours per day,is my hearing getting affected or not sir,how much duration of such exposures causes hearing loss.Will my ear heal itself?
So, let me get this straight. Simply increasing the volume of your voice when speaking to someone with hearing loss isn't as effective as increasing the emphasis on the consonant sounds? Like, should we be speaking louder to grandpa or changing phonemes and adding aspirations to provide more clarity of sound?
Maybe wrong video to ask this, but when we are babies we do cry all the time and the db level of a baby crying can be as high as 130db!! Now with this in mind, doesn't we all have hearing damage because we used to cry all the time when we where babies? Also babies are much more sensitive to loud noice then adults to! So shouldn't we be all like deaf? The real question is why we have aren't deaf and if we have no hearing damage, why?
Screaming/crying can definitely be considered loud noise exposure. Thankfully for the crier, the sound projects outward. Thanks for watching and for the comment!
An interesting thing to note is when we yell, our ears close up a little. If you try it, you'll see what I mean. The sound does not have as much of an effect at that point.
Thank you for this. I’m suffering from high frequenci hearing loss in my left ear. Along with that, I am also unable to hear lower frequency sounds, particularly while listening to music. Is there a possibility to correct this?
Consult with a local audiologist and physician to determine the best treatment for your specific hearing loss. For music, using earphones (AirPod Pros) with a secure seal in the ear canal will help improve the bass response. Try running the ear tip fit test to find the ear tip that provides the best seal.
I am have the same problem, exactly the same one ear. and the best advice is to stop listening to music and limit sounds that enter your ear until you begin to hear normally again. Take a good break basically cuz longterm sound can bring extreme pain to ur ears. best of luck
Thought my phone volume quit working 😂 I do have hearing loss. Diagnosed by audiologist, makes sense I could not understand words. Know I know thanks for the explain.
i have hearing loss in one ear i did another online test (not sure how accurate) in that ear i cannot hear anything lower then 58 htz. just yesterday a friend was talking to me on the side of the bad ear i had to have him repeat himself multiple times in order to hear him he was maby 1 to 2 ft away but he was whispering and other people were talking
what hearing aids are good for music producers / pro audio engineers? I have significant hearing loss on my right ear and would like to know if any hearing aid can improve my mixing and mastering abilities.
You might consider Oticon Real, Widex Moment Sheer, or Phonak Lumity for music. Consult with your local audiologist & ENT physician for evaluation and to find a hearing aid that is appropriate for your needs. Here's a video on best settings for music: ua-cam.com/video/tJHqujRVhEM/v-deo.html. Thanks for watching!
According to my ent I've lost some hearing around the 4khz range. I'm an engineeer myself. What would you recommend or should I find another line of work??
what about 30db at 2000-4000hz? normal from 0-2000hz. My new born son is diagnosed with a mild hearing loss at 2000-4000hz at 30db and I would love to know what that sounds like. thanks!
Why the hearing aids goes from 250hz to 8khz? What happens with the other range of frequencies? From 20hz to 250hz and 8khz to 20khz are erased? People with this condition will never know what bass and treble are? Im confused
The s sounds should seem more pronounced in the normal sample since this high frequency content is significantly reduced in all other samples. Please consult with your local audiologist for specific guidance regarding dysacusis. Thanks for the checking out the video!
Yes, it’s difficult to hear the other samples without headphones. This just demonstrates how speech understanding is impacted by different degrees of hearing loss. For more information on the graph (audiogram) you can refer to this previous video, How to Read a Hearing Test: ua-cam.com/video/QMQE4YbPfI0/v-deo.html. Thanks for the comment and for watching!
The normal sloping one sounded how things sound to me. I just had my hearing tested and I was really shocked they suggested hearing aids. Often things are really noisy to me and I never considered that I could need hearing aids!! It's weird, I guess we don't know what we don't know. I just thought that was how sound worked my whole life. I don't know how long this was a thing, it may always have been. I also discovered the wonder of distance eyeglasses. Seriously now I'm beginning to understand to some degree why school was so hard. I think a few decades ago problems had to be really bad for anyone to consider them a problem. My parents would NEVER have had me go around in hearing aids and glasses. They would have been afraid I'd be " labeled". I also have pretty significant ADHD....but that's another story. Teachers used to say, you're so smart, why don't you just TRY HARDER...
Sir in a hearing test they told me my ability to perceive the place of articulation is limited . And my mother tongue is also not english . Is this a hint for high frequency hearing loss in both my ears.
High frequency hearing loss can impact clarity and understanding of words especially in noisy situations. Please consult with your provider for specific recommendations regarding hearing test results. Thanks for watching!
This isn’t like my experience at all. I don’t have a problem with volume, it’s the clarity of words I struggle with. The simulation here seemed to just give examples at lower volume?
Yes, everyone's experience is different. The simulation includes varying degrees of reduced volume and clarity. Please consult with an audiologist if you have concerns about your hearing. Thanks for watching and for commenting!
Please consult with your local audiologist who can review your hearing test and make appropriate recommendations. I haven't worked with the Resound One but have fit many Resound hearing aids with great results. Thanks for watching!
Okay, so I was all set to comment on why this video is so inaccurate, because I can't hear the differences between the demos... and didn't feel that the gaps in speech were represented, because I'm over 50% deaf, and all in the high frequency range(caused by nerve damage from chemo), and then.... "lightbulb" lol.. I can't hear the differences because I can't hear normal speech to begin with!😂😂😂💁🤦🤣 like oh boy... just glad i thought about that one! 🥴🥴
I'm sorry you're having trouble hearing clearly. Please see a local audiologist for a check-up. Here is a video about possible hearing loss symptoms for more info: ua-cam.com/video/sO9jOxMfTwI/v-deo.html. Thanks for watching!
@@ProFitHearing I’m glad I did. Thanks for sharing. Didn’t start taking my hearing seriously until the past year currently at 25. My average audiogram result being 5db, but learned enough to never take my hearing for granted ever again.

How are you now?
Excellent simulation which showed me the impact on hearing speech from different levels of hearing loss.

Does high frequency hearing loss increase the risk of dementia or other neurological diases?
Omg high frequency sounds is what I hear the most. Low pitch sounds I have issues with. My husband's deep voice to me sounds like wuwuwuwuwuuwuuwuwuw
