All newborns should be screened for hearing loss.

Why Screen Newborns?
Newborn hearing screenings are extremely important. When newborns have hearing loss and are diagnosed early, effective intervention is available to help them achieve normal or nearly normal speech, language, and hearing milestones.

Approximately 3-6 of every 1,000 newborns have significant hearing problems. More than 95 percent of newborns who are born deaf have parents with normal hearing. Hearing loss is invisible; it cannot be seen by examining your newborn’s ears. Most newborns with hearing loss have no signs or symptoms.

Do you get dizzy when you turn over in bed?  Do you get dizzy when you look up or down?   Do you get dizzy when you lay back in a recliner, a dentist chair, or at the beauty shop?  Does the room spin or do you feel you are spinning?

If you answer yes to any of these questions, you may be experiencing benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV).

At Saline Audiology, we can help diagnoise and help treat BPPV, give us a call today!  501-778-3868 or 501-922-0053

A common complaint of those who are suffering hearing loss is that they can hear but cannot understand.  This is typically the result of a loss of hearing sensitivity in the high frequency (pitch) range.  Because consonant sounds are affected, the clarity of speech starts to decrease.  This symptom may also cause other people to sound like they are mumbling when they are not.

Gradual hearing loss can be very frustrating to the hearing impaired person who may not realize what is happening and therefore doesn’t seek professional help.  A typical sign for hearing loss is social withdrawal.  Someone who once enjoyed speaking with others or attending social functions becomes shy or withdrawn.  Another common sign is misinformation.  The hearing impaired person only hears part of a word or sentence and tries to fill in the blanks for the rest.  Family members and friends think that this person is having memory problems or getting confused.

If you know someone with these warning signs for hearing impairment, suggest that he or she give us a call at Saline Audiology 501-778-3868 or 501-922-0053 and schedule a hearing examination.

There are several types of hearing aids: behind-the-ear, in-the-ear, and canal aids.  Each is a different size and shape and is inserted in the ear or sits behind the ear. 

The type of hearing aid recommended depends on several factors…

• the shape of the outer ear, some ears may not accommodate behind-the-ear hearing aids
• the depth of the depression near the ear canal, ears that are too shallow may not accept in-the-ear hearing aids
• the kind and level of hearing loss, a great amount of  hearing loss  may require an in-the-ear hearing aid
• the manual dexerity of the individual to remove and insert hearing aids, some people have problems with the smaller in-the-canal models
• the amount of wax buildup in the ear, too much wax or moisture may limit use of in-the-ear hearing aids
• other ear complications, ears that require drainage may not be able to use certain hearing aid models

If you or someone you love is experiencing hearing loss, call Saline Audiology and schedule and appointment to find out what hearing aid is right for you!        501-778-3868 or 501-922-0053

Although your child is now hearing better with the use of hearing aids, he or she may initially feel otherwise:  that’s because things will sound different than they used to.  For some children this will be the first time they’ve heard anything except extremely loud sounds.  If that’s the case, your child may require many hours of listening and practice to learn words and identify sounds.

The audiologists at Saline Audiology will recommend a schedule to help your child get used to wearing the hearing aids.  After this “warm-up” period, your child should wear the hearing aids all day, everyday, indoors and out.  It may be helpful to talk to your child about putting on the hearing aids at the same time every morning – making a regular part of the morning routine, just like brushing your teeth.
