Severe Hearing Loss - What does it mean?
Severe hearing loss is not one-size-fits-all. It can vary significantly from one individual to another, and understanding the nuances is crucial in providing effective care. If you discover that your hearing loss is severe, you might be wondering what that means.
For many, severe high-frequency hearing loss is the challenge, wherein they find it particularly difficult to hear high-pitched sounds like women's or children's voices, the turn signal in the car, or understand speech clearly, yet they may retain better hearing in the lower frequencies.
So while they may hear soft sounds in their environment (i.e., a refrigerator humming or thunder rumbling), speech clarity remains elusive. You hear people talking but can't understand what they're saying. This type of an audiogram could like something like this:
The right treatment approach will focus on balancing the amplification across different frequencies: a solid boost of the high frequencies but not too much low frequency sound.
Others with severe hearing loss may have a flat, severe hearing loss, characterized by relatively equal reduction in hearing ability across all frequencies. This type of hearing loss requires a more uniform amplification strategy, ensuring that all sounds are amplified appropriately. However, there still needs to be a balance between audibility and comfort (i.e., keeping sound audible but not to the point of discomfort). Here's an example of a flat, severe audiogram:
As you can see, each of these situations requires a different strategy for the optimal outcome.
Selecting the Right Care Model
For individuals with severe hearing loss, choosing the right care model is paramount. You may have come across over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids in your search for hearing solutions. It's important to understand that these devices are designed for individuals with mild to moderate hearing loss.
This means that if your hearing loss is categorized as severe, OTC hearing aids will not provide the level of support you need. In such cases, it's crucial to opt for a more personalized care approach.
Two primary models offer the personalized care necessary for severe hearing loss: in-person care and Telehealth services. In-person care involves direct, face-to-face consultation with an audiologist or hearing specialist. This model allows for an in-depth hearing assessment, tailored fitting sessions, and hands-on support through the adjustment period.
On the other hand, Telehealth services have emerged as a viable alternative, especially for those who may have difficulty accessing in-person care due to location or mobility issues. Telehealth involves remote consultation and support, leveraging technology to provide high-quality care.
Regardless of which model you choose, the goal is to ensure that your hearing aids are properly fitted and tailored to your specific hearing loss profile. A hearing healthcare provider will help you understand your audiogram, select the right hearing aid model, and adjust it to your comfort and needs.
Severe Hearing Loss Demands Precision
Severe hearing loss demands precision in treatment and technology. So, when it comes to selecting a hearing aid for severe hearing loss, what should you look for? Fortunately, technology today allows for a lot of flexibility to fit everyone's needs.
Before we jump into the specific types of hearing aids, it's essential to consider all aspects of your lifestyle and how your hearing aid can accommodate that. For instance, if dexterity is a concern due to arthritis or other reasons, you might want to consider a rechargeable device. These types of hearing aids eliminate the need for changing tiny hearing aid batteries, making your life a bit easier.
Furthermore, for those who want to stream audio from their hearing aids, selecting a device with Bluetooth capability is crucial. This feature allows you to stream audio directly from your phone right into your hearing aids, transforming them into a pair of high-quality, wireless earphones. This not only improves audibility for your calls but also integrates seamlessly with your day-to-day activities, ensuring you don't miss a beat.
Is a CIC a good option for severe hearing loss?
So you've got severe hearing loss and are thinking about a discrete hearing aid. Completely-in-Canal (CIC) hearing aids are renown for their nearly invisible and custom-fit designs, but they are a few caveats when selecting this style hearing aid. Let's go through a few points when considering this option:
- hearing loss profile
- anatomy
- ear "real estate"
- dexterity
Hearing Loss Profile
When it comes to matching hearing aids with individual hearing loss profiles, it's crucial to understand that not every style fits every type of hearing loss. Specifically, while a Completely-in-Canal (CIC) hearing aid can often accommodate individuals with severe high-frequency hearing loss, those with a flat, severe hearing loss may find this style less effective. The intricacies of severe high-frequency hearing loss mean that while the lower frequencies remain more intact, it's the high frequencies that need amplification. CIC hearing aids, with their placement deep within the ear canal, can leverage the ear's natural shape to enhance sound directionality and clarity, particularly in the high frequencies.
On the other hand, a flat severe hearing loss, characterized by a uniform reduction across all frequencies, presents a different challenge. The main limitation with CIC aids in this context is their size and power capabilities.
Due to their compact size, fitting the broader range of frequencies with the necessary amplification power may not be feasible without sacrificing sound quality or comfort. In such cases, other styles of hearing aids, which can house more powerful amplifiers and larger batteries, might be more suitable to ensure a balanced and effective hearing improvement across all frequencies.
Thus, understanding your specific hearing loss profile is an indispensable step in selecting a hearing aid that not only fits well but also meets your auditory needs comprehensively.
Anatomy
Anatomy is an important factor to consider when selecting a Completely-in-Canal (CIC) hearing aid. Given their design to fit snugly within the ear canal, the right ear canal size and shape are crucial for a proper fit. Most CIC hearing aids are made from a deep ear impression, and an audiologist will evaluate your ear canal during an in-person visit.
This means that if your ear canal is extremely narrow or has a shape that doesn't accommodate the typical dimensions of a CIC hearing aid, this style might not be suitable for you. An improper fit can not only be uncomfortable but can also affect the performance of the hearing aid, impacting its effectiveness in amplifying sound.
Independent of hearing loss severity, everyone’s ear canal has a different size and shape. Therefore, a thorough examination of your ear canal by a healthcare professional is an essential step in the process of selecting a hearing aid, ensuring that the device you choose is perfectly tailored to your unique anatomical structure.
Ear "Real Estate"
The concept of "ear real estate," or the space available around and behind the ear, presents another compelling rationale for considering a Completely-in-Canal (CIC) hearing aid, especially in the era of Covid-19. During the pandemic, when wearing masks became a ubiquitous necessity, many individuals discovered the practicality of custom, in-canal hearing aids.
This was particularly true for those who also wear glasses or use oxygen masks, where the reduced space behind the ear makes traditional behind-the-ear hearing aids less feasible. Furthermore, individuals with petite ears may find that CIC hearing aids offer a more comfortable and secure fit, avoiding the overcrowding and discomfort that can occur with larger devices.
In these cases, the minimalistic footprint of CIC models can enhance both physical comfort and device usability, providing a compelling option for those prioritizing discreetness and convenience alongside auditory improvement.
Dexterity Considerations
Finally, dexterity is an important consideration when selecting the right hearing aid for individuals with severe hearing loss. If you have trouble manipulating small devices due to conditions such as arthritis, neuropathy, or just general difficulty with fine motor skills, you may want to opt for a larger custom hearing aid.
A rechargeable In-the-Ear (ITE) model is a viable option that tends to be a bit easier to manage. These devices not only reduce the need for handling small batteries – a task that can be frustrating and challenging – but also offer the convenience of not having to replace batteries frequently.
The physical design of ITE hearing aids, being slightly larger and easier to grasp, allows for better handling and overall management of the device. This feature, coupled with the fact that rechargeable models can be placed in a charging dock overnight for hassle-free use throughout the day, makes them an excellent choice for those prioritizing ease of use alongside effective hearing support.
Final Thoughts
Selecting the right hearing aid, especially for those with severe hearing loss, is a nuanced decision that demands a comprehensive understanding of one's own hearing loss profile, lifestyle needs, and personal preferences.
Completely-in-Canal (CIC) hearing aids, known for their discreet design and advanced technological features, offer substantial benefits for individuals with severe high-frequency hearing loss. However, it's equally vital to acknowledge that no single style suits every type of hearing impairment.
Factors such as the nature of the hearing loss, power and amplification needs, as well as personal dexterity in handling the devices, play a pivotal role in determining the best fit. Our exploration through notable CIC models underscores the diversity and advancements in hearing aid technology, aiming to empower individuals with the knowledge and options to enhance their auditory experience effectively.
Through careful consideration and possibly consultation with audiology professionals, one can find a hearing aid that not only meets their hearing needs but also fits seamlessly into their lifestyle, thereby improving overall quality of life.
