There are two distinct parts to hearing; these include volume and clarity. Hearing aids help with the volume of sound only, while FDA approved, cochlear implants (medical devices) help with the clarity of sound along with the volume. A cochlear implant bypasses the receptor cells by directly stimulating the nerve and consequently, is able to restore both volume and clarity simultaneously.
Cochlear implants mimic natural hearing by bypassing damaged hair cells in the cochlea. These tiny hair cells are responsible for picking up the vibrations of sounds and sending them to the brain through the auditory nerve. When you suffer from hearing loss, your world becomes distorted. Individuals with substantial hearing loss often have difficulty understanding, following conversation, and deciphering sounds when there is loud background noise.
For adults and children over 1 year of age, cochlear implants are an approved and recognized treatment for effectively restoring acute hearing. In addition, cochlear implants are an established solution for individuals that no longer benefit from hearing aids.
VARIOUS STRENGTHS OF COCHLEAR IMPLANTS ARE AVAILABLE:
• Low frequency hearing loss
• High frequency hearing loss
• Combination of low and high-frequency loss
WHY YOU SHOULD SEE AN AUDIOLOGIST
If you are experiencing hearing loss, it’s important to seek a qualified audiologist, because they are trained to get you the best outcome and resolution for your specific issue. If you’ve noticed that it’s difficult to hear conversations in a noisy atmosphere, or you feel the need to adjust your television volume much higher than before, it’s vital for you to have your hearing checked.
Perhaps you or your loved one keeps asking for people to repeat themselves, or you can’t quite pick up where sounds are coming from; if this is the case, don’t wait until your hearing loss gets any worse. Schedule your appointment as soon as you possibly can.
