Why You Should Act Today

Of the 30 million estimated people in the United States suffering from hearing loss, more than 22 million have never tried hearing instruments as a solution to their problem. There are a number of reasons why people are reluctant to use a hearing instrument.

Many are simply not aware that they have a significant hearing loss. Most people lose their hearing very gradually over an extended period of time. Often, the person with a hearing loss and other members of the family learned to adapt to the problem. It is only when the loss of hearing results in embarrassing situations that people take action.

Another key factor is the fact that many people are concerned with the stigma of a hearing loss, and try to hide it from others rather than treat it with a hearing instrument.

Many simply don't realize the importance of hearing in everyday life. We live in such a visually oriented society, that hearing often takes a backseat to eyesight.

Many are simply not aware of the significant advances that have been made with digital technology and the improved performance of today's hearing devices.

Another key factor has been the historic high cost of hearing devices. Digital hearing aids can cost $5000/pair. For many, this is a financial barrier that they would rather not hurdle.

Whatever the reason, it is important to begin treatment of a hearing loss as soon as possible rather than waiting for your hearing to deteriorate to the point that it interferes significantly with your daily activities. The reason for this is called auditory deprivation. Simply put, your brain is very important in translating the raw sound that comes through your ears into meaningful information. Since birth, your ears and brain have worked as a team to process sound and sort meaningful information from background noise.

As you're hearing deteriorates over time, whether due to excessive exposure to loud noise or simply as part of the aging process, your brain becomes used to not hearing certain frequencies (usually high frequency sounds). It loses the ability to process and make meaningful sounds received in the frequency range affected by your hearing loss. The longer you wait to get hearing instruments to assist in hearing those frequencies you are now missing, the more difficult it is for your brain to adapt to once again hearing sound in those missing frequencies.

The result is that it will take time to adapt to a new hearing device, because your brain will no longer recognize meaningful sounds from background noise. This is why many people are frustrated when they first purchase a hearing aid. All of a sudden there is too much sound and noise. However, by treating the problem earlier rather than later you can minimize the problems associated with adapting to a hearing device.
