Understanding
People in NOISY SURROUNDINGS
Background noise makes it hard to
hear what others are saying. If
you are sitting around the dinner table at a family event and other family
members are talking, you may not understand what the person next to you is
saying. Two hearing aids
improve the brain’s natural ability to filter out background noise.
This will often reduce your need for amplification, making
background noise less annoying than ever before!
A Fuller Sound Picture
If you hear
equally well out of both ears, sounds are more comfortable to listen to.
You won’t have to strain to hear, and sounds have the clarity and
depth which give you a sense of space and volume.
It can be compared to the difference between listening to a stereo
vs. a monaural (mono) broadcast or record/tape/CD.
Reducing
the Risk of AUDITORY DEPRIVATION
Auditory deprivation
occurs when the brain loses some of its ability to process information
from un-aided ears for a long period of time.
With auditory deprivation, the brain “ceases to listen”,
because it cannot process the “garbled“ input provided by the ears.
That’s why it’s essential to use two hearing aids as soon as
possible.
Your
Sense of SOUND DIRECTION
When you are talking to several of your neighbors, or
children/grandchildren, they are often speaking from different directions.
The brain needs input from both ears to tell us from which
direction a sound may be coming from. This
ability is called sound localization. If
you’re crossing a busy street or driving a car, this ability may save
your life one day.
