6 6 Signs of hearing loss The incredible gift of sound allows us to communicate with friends, family and colleagues. It also allows us to enjoy television, music and all manner of entertainment. As we grow through life s journey many people experience hearing loss and this is a perfectly natural part of life. Exposure to loud noise may also have an adverse effect on our hearing so it s quite possible to experience some hearing loss at any age, depending on lifestyle. Signs include Frequently having to ask people to repeat themselves Having trouble hearing when there s a lot of background noise Misunderstanding conversations Perceiving that others are mumbling Music doesn t sound as clear as it used to Having to increase the TV or radio volume Struggling to hear what children and grandchildren are saying If any of the above sound familiar it s a good time to have your hearing properly assessed by one of our hearing professionals. They will confirm if you have any hearing loss and what the cause might be. Your dedicated professional will then advise you of the correct course of action and fortunately this is usually a simple process designed to get you back to enjoying life to the fullest. Hearing loss is the result of sound signals not reaching the brain. There are two main types of hearing loss, depending on where the problem lies. Sensorineural hearing loss is caused by damage to the sensitive hair cells inside the inner ear or damage to the auditory nerve. This occurs naturally with age or as a result of injury. Conductive hearing loss happens when sounds are unable to pass from your outer ear to your inner ear, often because of a blockage such as earwax or glue ear.

What to expect Once they arrive for your appointment, your audiologist will discuss your hearing history to understand what factors have influenced your hearing and also to get more information on your personal hearing needs. In addition, a hearing examination will be conducted. The visit may also include a listening experience with hearing devices, when appropriate. After your audiologist has interpreted the results of your hearing evaluation, he/she will explain them to you clearly. It will then be time to develop a plan for the next steps.

12 12 It s your brain that hears not your ears Your hearing serves many purposes such as keeping you safe, locating where sound is coming from, and helping you follow conversations. Your ears and brain form a system and work together. Your ears funnel information into the hearing system and your brain processes the information into sound and meaning. Your brain constantly takes in a wide variety of cues from your ears, and automatically and effortlessly identifies the sounds and locates where they are coming from. Imagine you are about to step into traffic. It is your brain that let you know whether or not it is safe to proceed. Therefore, it is crucial that you can hear all the sounds around you from both ears to understand where a sound is coming from. In noisy environments, your two ears work together to improve speech understanding by providing access to the important details in the environment. The more detailed the information your brain receives the easier it is to identify and follow what is being said. Living with a hearing loss is tiring and can affect your ability to remember Getting through the day with a hearing loss can be hard work. Everyday situations require more effort in order to follow and understand what is being said. When you have a hearing loss, your ears lose their ability to pick up certain sounds. Your brain has to work much harder to fill in the gaps and guess what is being said. Both of these tasks require more mental resources and can leave you feeling exhausted. Using more mental resources to hear leaves you with fewer resources to perform other important brain functions such as remembering what was said. So even if you manage to follow the conversation you may struggle recalling what has been said. To reduce the load on your brain, it is important that you hear all speakers clearly, especially in noisy environments. Did you know? Untreated hearing loss makes it difficult to follow conversations and is often very exhausting. Untreated hearing loss often leads to reduced contact with family, friends and colleagues, which can turn into feelings of isolation and depression. Untreated hearing loss makes it difficult to stay connected to communication and entertainment devices like TV and phones Independent, impartial and professional advice for a hearing solution that s right for you
13 13 Hearing is central to your health and quality of life Using hearing aids helps reduce mental decline As hearing loss increases people become increasingly frustrated and socially isolated. Now new studies show, that untreated hearing loss is associated with a greater risk of dementia*. While no hearing aids can cure dementia or restore your hearing, they do go a long way in helping to keep your brain fit. When you wear hearing aids you will find it easier to communicate and participate in social activities. This stimulates your brain and helps decrease the risk of accelerated mental decline related to untreated hearing loss.** Taking care of your hearing is one of the important keys to maintaining an active intellectual and social life. Risk of developing dementia with untreated hearing loss Mild loss: 2x more likely Moderate hearing loss: 3x more likely Severe hearing loss: 5x more likely * Source: Lin et al. (2011). Compared with normal hearing, increased risk of dementia: 1.89 for mild hearing loss, 3.00 for moderate hearing loss, and 4.94 for severe hearing loss. ** Amieva et al. (2015).

22 22 Stay connected to your world with the latest Bluetooth enabled hearing aids Until quite recently hearing aids were limited to their original intended use, that of amplifying an individual s sound frequencies that are impaired to help that individual enjoy a full spectrum of sound. But now, with the advent of improved connectivity even those who don t wear hearing aids can see the astonishing benefits the latest hearing aids present. Hearing aids with Bluetooth connectivity allow you to stay connected to a number of devices, including mobile phones, televisions, computers and more, so keeping in touch with friends and family is easier than ever before. Traditional hearing aids can often limit the way you connect to many other electronic devices. Telephones, sound systems and headphones can all create situations where it s necessary to remove your hearing aids if you wanted to listen. However, with the latest technology, it s possible to get connected and stream sound directly through your hearing aids. What is Bluetooth? Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communication technology that allows devices such as mobile phones, computers, and peripherals to transmit data or voice wirelessly over a short distance. The purpose of Bluetooth is to replace the cables that normally connect devices, while still keeping the communications between them secure. The Bluetooth name is taken from a 10th-century Danish king named Harald Bluetooth, who was said to unite disparate, warring regional factions. Like its namesake, Bluetooth technology brings together a broad range of devices across many different industries through a unifying communication standard. Bluetooth Technology Developed in 1994, Bluetooth was intended as a wireless replacement for cables. It uses the same 2.4GHz frequency as some other wireless technologies in the home or office, such as cordless phones and Wi-Fi routers. This short-range network allows you to send a page to your printer in another room, for example, without having to run an unsightly cable. Independent, impartial and professional advice for a hearing solution that s right for you
23 23 Who benefits from Bluetooth hearing aids? The short answer is virtually everyone! Once you re connected, which takes just a matter of seconds, you have access to your mobile phone, music library and more. So whereas non hearing aid wearers have to put their headphones on or ear buds in you re already there! Hands-free calls and music on the move are at your almost permanent disposal! Introducing ConnectClip ConnectClip transforms your Oticon Opn hearing aids into a wireless stereo headset Get the sound from any modern smartphone, tablet or computer directly into both of your ears with ConnectClip. It uses Bluetooth low energy to connect your hearing aids to your electronic devices and is also a microphone for capturing your speech. This makes your hearing aids into a wireless headset with all the benefits that come with the hands-free experience. The high-quality audio capability lets you stream music from any of your devices straight into your ears. The sound is in stereo, which gives a richer sound where you can hear more details, for a quality experience that is less strenuous to listen to. The ConnectClip also functions as a remote microphone, which means you can give it to someone who is speaking and then hear their voice clearly and directly in your hearing aids.

24 24 What to expect from hearing aids 1 Getting used to hearing aids Most people gradually lose their hearing over the course of time. On average, people experience hearing difficulties for 5-7 years before seeking help. So it may have been some time since a person has heard certain sounds, such as birdsong, soft music or children s laughter. Once someone purchases a hearing aid, an adjustment period is needed to become comfortable hearing all of these wonderful sounds again. 2 One s own voice will sound different Along with other peoples voices and environmental sounds, hearing aids enhance one s own voice. Therefore, one s own voice may sound different, so there s a whole new world of sound to re-discover. 3 Hearing aids are not new ears Most hearing loss is unfortunately permanent affecting nerve endings. Hearing aids cannot correct permanent damage, nor can they restore a person s hearing to normal in the same way that eyeglasses restore sight. Instead, hearing aids provide assistance to help one hear sounds better. Independent, impartial and professional advice for a hearing solution that s right for you
25 25 4 The clarity vs. loudness issue Hearing aids are cleverly designed to amplify sounds and frequencies in the speech spectrum of hearing. For most people, this increase in volume also increases the ability to understand speech. Just making the sound louder doesn t make it clearer, otherwise merely increasing TV volume would work. Giant strides in technology however are making sound clearer than ever. 5 Help from friends and family Hearing loss can develop over a long period of time making it possible to forget sounds easily heard by others. It poses difficulties for the hard of hearing person as well as their friends and family members. Ask people to speak from the same room, get one s attention before speaking, and eliminate distracting noise (i.e. TV, water running in the sink, radio). The more help they give, the less frustration one will experience. 6 Have realistic expectations Remember, in a noisy restaurant or at a party, most people, even those with normal hearing, cannot hear perfectly. At the cinema, some dialogue is missed by normal hearing people. People shouldn t expect to hear everything perfectly, as it can take time to re-learn to hear speech sounds that haven t been heard for many years.

26 26 Your next step, book your hearing assessment at home We understand that it may not always be possible to attend a hearing centre to get your hearing assessed, and it is for this reason we offer our free home visit service. The assessment will be carried out by a highy qualified member from our team of audiologists. All our audiologists are HCPC registered. It will last around one hour and we always recommend you have a family member or close friend with you for your appointment, as they may be able to give other important information about your hearing. It may be necessary to take an impression of your ear canal if a custom-made hearing aid is required. Fortunately this a quick and comfortable process. Which hearing solution is best for me? Our audiologist will discuss your individual needs and requirements during the completely free assessment process. They will take into account all factors to determine which is best for you dependent on personal preference, ear shape, lifestyle needs and budget. Supply In many cases a hearing aid or sound amplification device can be personally tuned and fitted on the same day, immediately after your hearing assessment. In the case of very specific or custom-made devices the ear canal impression taken will be sent to the laboratory where your hearing aid will be made to suit. This process can be carried out typically in under 10 days. Imagine that, a perfect fitting and discreet device made to order and fitted within 2 weeks! Warranty and delivery All hearing aids and sound amplification devices supplied by Hearing Solutions UK come with a minimum of a 2 years, 5 years in some cases. Comprehensive parts and label warranty. The warranty period can be extended at little extra cost. Total freedom guarantee If you re not totally satisfied with your purchase you can exchange it within 30 days for any other product in our range. Independent, impartial and professional advice for a hearing solution that s right for you
27 27 Service and aftercare In the same way it is important to get your ears checked regularly, hearing aids also need routine attention to keep it operating at peak efficiency. Check for wax. Most hearing aids supplied will have a replaceable wax filter and this must be replaced when the performance of the hearing aid reduces noticeably. Volume control. Not all digital hearing aids will have one but where there is one it is usually the part of the device that gets handled the most, and so needs regular testing for wear and tear. Microphone. To get the very best from your hearing device, the receiver/speaker and microphone have to be free from obstructions. Battery. The battery compartment needs to be checked, the contacts may need to be cleaned and adjustment may need to be made. Clarity. We test your hearing device to make sure that the sound quality it s giving is as clear as possible. To keep your hearing device in top condition, we check everything that can affect its performance. We offer different service packages during which we ll take this opportunity to: Test your hearing to ensure your hearing threshold has not changed since your last visit. If it has, nine times out of ten we can re-programme your hearing aid to your latest test results as required. Discuss your current lifestyle situations to ensure your hearing aid is supporting you where and when you need it. For instance, we may ask if you use a mobile telephone. Many people are not aware that hearing aids available today can connect wirelessly to mobile phones. Keep you up-to-date with the latest hearing innovation and technology. Reasons like these are further examples of why it is important to regularly see your audiologist.
