What should I do if I still can’t hear clearly even if I turn my hearing aid to the maximum volume?

Each of us begins to learn to listen to sounds, learn to speak, and communicate with others from birth. Once one day’s hearing begins to decline, these abilities will also decline at the same time. And the longer the hearing loss lasts, the more patients will be sensitive to familiar sounds and noises. The recognition of speech sounds will become worse, and some may even cause cognitive impairment. Alzheimer's disease may occur if people do not communicate with others for a long time.

The reason you cannot hear clearly is because your speech recognition ability is not good. It is most likely because you have been suffering from hearing loss for a long time, which has led to a decline in speech recognition ability. Then after suddenly wearing a hearing aid, your brain suddenly You can't react to it either. This is something you need to adapt to slowly. Let your brain adapt to the state of wearing a hearing aid. It will get better over time.




Hearing Aids do not mean that the louder the sound, the more you can hear clearly. Instead, the hearing aid compensates you for the most appropriate volume based on your hearing loss. If the volume is too loud, it becomes noise to you. In a professional hearing aid fitting center, the fitting technician will perform a hearing test for you, input the hearing assessment data into the computer, connect the hearing aid and the computer with a programming cable, and adjust the sound threshold and volume that best suits you.

The reason why you hear loud sounds but cannot hear clearly when wearing a hearing aid is because hearing clearly is related to the person's speech recognition rate. Hearing and hearing clearly are different concepts. Hearing As long as the sound is amplified to a certain extent, you can hear it. Hearing clearly is really related to your ability to process information, and the brain's ability to analyze information. Some elderly people have reduced physical functions, reduced reaction capabilities, and low sensitivity to sounds. This will happen. In this case, if the hearing aid is not used for a long time after hearing loss, the human ear will not be able to hear some small sounds for a long time, which will also lead to a decrease in speech recognition rate. The hearing aid amplifies the originally inaudible sounds until they can be heard.

A good hearing aid has good noise reduction effect, high wearing comfort, and high precision of adjustment. Wearing hearing aids can help maintain current hearing levels and speech recognition abilities.

The human auditory system will suffer from "use it or lose it", that is, long-term hearing loss without any hearing intervention will not only cause listening difficulties, but also damage the auditory nerve. The speech analysis ability is also greatly reduced, and there will be a situation of "can hear but not clearly". Each patient's situation is different, and the reasons for hearing difficulty are also different. For patients with postlingual deafness who have not heard sounds for a long time, they may also have difficulty hearing in the early stage of wearing hearing aids, which requires a certain adaptation period. If their own hearing foundation and speech discrimination ability are too poor, the use of hearing aids will be reduced. Effect.
