National Better Hearing & Speech Month: Do you know the 5 early signs of hearing loss?

May is National Better Hearing & Speech Month, a great time to take charge of your hearing health by learning the early signs of hearing loss, and, if necessary, making an appointment with a hearing specialist for testing.

About 15 percent of U.S. adults have a significant problem with hearing, according to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD).

"Early identification and intervention for hearing loss is important," notes the CDC. "Many people live with unidentified hearing loss, often failing to realize that they are missing certain sounds and words. Checking one’s hearing is the first step toward addressing the issue."

Indeed, hearing loss is often a sneaky thief. It can creep up on you gradually, stealing your hearing in such small increments you suddenly find yourself straining to understand conversation and missing some of your favorite sounds.
How can you tell if you have hearing loss? Hearing loss symptoms depend on the type and severity. Only a qualified hearing health professional can tell you for sure, but here are five signs you may not be hearing your best.

1. Consonant sounds are hard to hear 'Did you say show or throw?'
If you’ve lived long enough to develop presbycusis or age-related hearing loss, you may have lost your ability to hear high-frequency sounds. In speech, that translates to the consonant sounds S, F, Th, Sh, V, K, and P. These sounds are important because they help you distinguish between like-sounding words—for example, “show” and “throw” or “keep” and “peep.” As a result, you may misunderstand important parts of the conversation and respond inappropriately or think people are mumbling. In other words, you can hear, but not understand.

2. The birds have seemingly disappeared.
Take a moment and think—when was the last time you heard birds singing or crickets chirping? Do you hear the car’s turn signal when it’s blinking? Are you having trouble hearing your wife or grandchildren when they speak? (Good news: Hearing aids help birders.) These higher-pitched sounds and voices register at 2,000 Hz or higher frequencies, and those with high-frequency hearing loss have trouble hearing.

3. Understanding conversation in crowded places is increasingly difficult.
Another symptom of high-frequency hearing loss is the inability to distinguish speech in noisy environments. As a result, you may find yourself avoiding social situations like family get-togethers or impromptu celebrations with friends at local gathering places where you’re forced to concentrate on understanding the conversation.

4. You strain to listen—and it’s exhausting.
If you find you're straining to listen to the conversation and are more exhausted than usual at the end of the day, you may have listening fatigue. You have difficulty following the conversation, like a fading radio state or a bad phone connection.
Most people are surprised to learn that hearing is a brain activity. When your auditory system is compromised, it takes much more effort for your brain to process the sound it receives from your inner ear. In effect, the signal is broken.

5. Your ears ring.
The CDC estimates more than 50 million people suffer from some degree of tinnitus, making it one of the most common health conditions in the country.
Both age-related hearing loss and noise-induced hearing loss can cause tinnitus, a condition also known as ringing in the ears. In these two situations, researchers believe tinnitus may be the brain’s way of filling in the missing frequencies it is no longer receiving from the auditory system.

What’s the solution?
High-frequency hearing loss is typically a type of sensorineural hearing loss, which means hair cells in the inner ear have been damaged. These hair cells are responsible for converting sounds into signals and sending them along the auditory nerve to the brain for interpretation. In addition to age, sensorineural hearing loss has many causes, including noise exposure, disease, infection or genetics.
Although sensorineural hearing loss isn’t curable, it can be treated with hearing aids or cochlear implants. Diagnosis and treatment are important because untreated hearing loss has been linked to mental health conditions such as anger, depression, anxiety, isolation, frustration, loneliness, and decreased cognitive function.
Seek help from a Hearing Group hearing healthcare professional.

Today’s hearing devices are sophisticated marvels of technology, with the ability to amplify the high frequencies you may be missing without amplifying the low-frequency sounds you hear just fine. And hearing aids are linked to health benefits like delayed onset of dementia and lower rates of depression. A hearing healthcare professional can evaluate your hearing and help you determine which hearing device is best for your hearing loss, lifestyle, and budget.

Even if you aren’t experiencing any of these signs of hearing loss, don’t wait for a problem to occur. Treat your hearing health like your vision or overall physical health, and schedule annual hearing examinations with a professional you trust.

Tips For Hearing Aid Users

What Do The Chimes Or Beeps In My Hearing Aid Mean?

There are various reasons why your hearing aids may be beeping or making a chime sound. Here is a checklist of reasons to refer back to.

Beeps may indicate your hearing aid batteries are getting low. You may want to replace your battery or place it on the charger.

If the volume is too high on the hearing aid, it may cause feedback often mistaken for long beeps. Try to decrease the volume on your hearing aid.

Lost connection to your TV connector or partner mic. Try to move close to the connected device.

If your hearing aid is connected to your cell phone, you may hear notifications from Apps installed on your phone. To disable notifications go to settings on your cell phone and select the apps you no longer wish to receive notifications for.

Changing the volume higher or lower may give you an indication tone. By pressing the upper part of the button on your right hearing aid will usually adjust both hearing aids and will emit a chime or tone, try to avoid brushing against your ear or head.

Pushing the button to change the program on your hearing aid will give you an indication tone. Avoid holding the button on the hearing aid for more than 2 seconds to avoid going into different programmed listening environments.
