Why YOUR Lifestyle - Regardless of Age - Needs to be Considered When Selecting Hearing Technology

 
By Crystal L. Chalmers, Au.D.

     Ah, high-technology consumer-oriented electronic devices.  They're everywhere we look in our daily lives.  From the L.E.D. read-out timer-controlled automatic coffee maker to the hands-free cellular phone to digitally enhanced music and television systems, high-tech products are all the rage, enhancing our lives in ways that couldn't have been imagined less than a generation ago.
     And judging from some of the advertisements that are out there one might get the impression that high-tech hearing aids are the end-all answer to communication difficulties for someone with hearing loss.  People are bombarded with ads on hearing aids telling them that by purchasing the "latest and greatest" from Brand ABC that they'll immediately hear like they did when they were a teenager.  Being good consumers, they research for hours on end, and then decide on a product with high expectations.      
     But for someone with hearing loss, taking that path is like trying to follow a map without directions nor a compass. That's because the first step towards better hearing lies not in selecting a hearing aid, but rather in examining one's lifestyle and listening needs. 
     Regardless of age, people have different lifestyles.  While one person might lead a very active life, another seemingly similar individual might lead a more quiet life.  If both have similar levels of hearing loss, should they both select the "latest and greatest" from Brand ABC?  Of course not!
     Instead of focusing on the hearing aid one of the first things I like my patients to do is talk with me about their lifestyles and how that lifestyle is affected by their hearing and communication difficulties.   Whenever possible, I also like to involve a spouse or significant life partner; oftentimes those close to the patient can offer helpful insight about their loved one's difficulties as well as positive support.  Only after this communication process - coupled with a thorough audiological assessment - is it time to start discussing the appropriate level of hearing technology. 
     That is the path that will lead to successful use of today's hearing aids  .... because hearing is a wonderful gift!
