Extractions: Common myths about hearing disorders If I had a hearing loss, I certainly would know about it. Everyone mumbles when they talk to me. Hearing aids will restore my hearing to normal. Hearing aids totally eliminate distracting background noise ... It's too expensive to get a good hearing aid. If I had a hearing loss, I certainly would know about it. Not necessarily. Often a hearing loss develops slowly and subtly. Our own built-in defenses may make it difficult for us to determine whether we have a hearing loss or not. Hearing loss is usually gradual in onset. Many times we adjust and get used to it as it is happening to us. A simple hearing test would determine if a hearing loss exists. Everyone mumbles when they talk to me. Some people do mumble. But if you think ALL people mumble then it's time to accept it is your hearing and not everyone else's mumbling. Hearing aids will restore my hearing to normal.

Extractions: Facts about hearing disorders Who has hearing loss Approximately 28 million people in the U.S. alone, or about 10% of its population, have significant hearing loss; and 120 million people worldwide have this same problem. More than 30% of people over 65 have some type of hearing loss, and 14% of the population between ages 45 and 64 have hearing loss. Close to 8 million people between the ages of 18 and 44 and 7 million children have hearing loss. Sensorineural damage, often referred to as nerve deafness, is the most common form of hearing loss. Why most hearing disorders are left untreated Hearing aids can offer dramatic improvements for approximately 95% of hearing losses. Unfortunately, many hearing disorders are left untreated because: Only 16% of physicians routinely screen for hearing loss. Prejudice and embarrassment from experiencing hearing loss prevent close to 15 million from getting help. An estimated 7 million cannot afford hearing aids.

Ears And Hearing: History Of Hearing Disorders ENT LINK Virtual Museum Exhibits History of hearing disorders. History of hearing disorders. In the first century BC Archigenes http://entnet.org/museum/exhibits/earsandhearing_page1.cfm
Extractions: In the first century BC Archigenes, an eminent physician of Rome, treated hearing disorders by sending loud, irritating noises to the ear through a tuba. This suggests that early physicians knew how to amplify sound using a funnel-like object. However, it wasnt until the 16th century that references to hearing aids were consistently made. Rather than using hearing aids to treat their patients, very early physicians used a variety of other remedies. In this early period of medicine, it was thought that mucus and any other fluid found in the ear, nose, or throat came from the brain. Subsequently, deafness was thought to be caused by the build-up of fluids from cerebral infections. To combat such infections, Galen (130-200 AD) recommended that patients lose weight and take laxatives. He also applied special liquids that were capable of dissolving thick and tenacious fluids. Alexander de Tralles (525-605) treated hearing loss with a variety of methods, including the juices of roaches, sea baths, and leeches. Later in the thirteenth century, a few physicians were known to use the fat of the green tree frog to cure hearing loss. Tricks of the Trade: Ears and Hearing

Hearing allows us to communicate with others and is our connection to the environment. Unfortunately, problems can arise with this very important sense which can negatively affect our way of life. An individual with a hearing disorder can resume a normal way of life through proper testing and treatment. A hearing disorder can occur anywhere along the auditory pathway. Otoscopy is the visual inspection of the external auditory canal and eardrum. This determines if there is any blockage of the canal and the status of the eardrum. Analysis of the middle ear. This test is used to examine the status of the middle ear structure (eardrum, bones of the middle ear, and muscles of the middle ear) and space. Otoacoustic emissions is a test to determine how the outer hair cells of the cochlear (hearing organ) are functioning. This computerized test is performed automatically without the participant having to do anything. OAE testing is very useful in testing the hearing of very young children. Auditory brainstem response is an electrophysidogical test that determines the integrity of the auditory nerve and brainstem. Hearing Aids The use and fitting of hearing aids is a very complex task for both the user and the audiologist doing the fitting and directing the rehabilitation program. The user must keep in mind that the decision to try a hearing aid requires a commitment to the process. The use of a hearing aid is not just deciding to wear the device similar to wearing a piece of jewelry.
Extractions: Hearing Loss and Deafness Hearing loss is deterioration in hearing; deafness is profound hearing loss. Hearing loss may be caused by a mechanical problem in the ear canal or middle ear that blocks the conduction of sound (conductive hearing loss) or by damage to the inner ear, auditory nerve, or auditory nerve pathways in the brain (sensorineural hearing loss). The two types of hearing loss can be distinguished by comparing how well a person hears sounds conducted by air with how well the person hears sounds conducted by bones. Diagnosis: In adults, hearing by bone conduction is tested by placing the base of a vibrating tuning fork against the head. The vibration spreads throughout the skull, including through the bony cochlea in the inner ear. The cochlea contains hair cells that convert the vibrations to nerve impulses, which then travel along the auditory nerve. This test bypasses the outer and middle ear, evaluating only the inner ear, auditory nerve, and auditory nerve pathways in the brain. Tuning forks with a variety of pitches (frequencies) are used because a person may be able to hear sounds at some pitches but not others.
