Hearing Aids and Safety, Part 1
It’s fascinating to me that we all have to take a vision test to drive a car – this makes complete sense – but we don’t have to have anything else checked like our hearing.
It would really shake up our senior community if a hearing screening was mandatory before getting our drivers licenses renewed. Between you and me, looking at the people making and passing laws in our government and knowing that almost all of them are well into and past their fifties, this will never happen.

Hearing Aids and Safety, Part 2
What’s stunning to me is the number of people who go to their doctor’s appointment and don’t understand what their doctor told them. They come away confused, uncertain and even misunderstanding directions or recommendations. Many decisions are made by someone with a hearing loss that are not based on actual conversations, but on what they thought was said.
Being independent is one of the most important goals for most aging people. If you have good hearing you can stay independent and function very normally. With poor hearing you are handicapped unless you wear hearing correction. If you have poor hearing it doesn’t take long before you begin to question almost everything. And I literally mean everything. You can never be sure you got what was said right. You by now have made many decisions that were based on what you thought was said, and later come to find out you completely misunderstood what was said. Life really doesn’t have to be like this.

Will The Size Of A Hearing Aid Make A Difference?
I have found in helping people with hearing aids that the size of a hearing aid does make a difference. The reason it makes a difference for most patients is because of cosmetics and how comfortable they will feel wearing their hearing aids. I tell people to get the hearing aid they will feel like wearing all the time. The bottom line always is — in my opinion — “don’t get a hearing aid you don’t feel comfortable wearing because you probably won’t wear it most of the time”.
Exceptions to this, of course, would be if the patient’s hearing loss would require a larger sized instrument. What is so wonderful about the technology we have available is that we now can put an extremely high amount of gain or power even in a tiny canal hearing aid or a very small behind-the-ear instrument.
