Choosing A Hearing Aid

Credonna Miller, Au.D. — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 14:00:16 +0000

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

Good hearing is essential to everyone, regardless of age.

Children with hearing problems can experience serious difficulties with language development. For, adults, a hearing loss can restrict your enjoyment of life.

How is Bilaterial Hearing Loss Treated?

Lisa Richey, Au.D. — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 14:00:40 +0000

Some bilaterial hearing losses are treated by a physician, especially when there are underlying medical causes for the condition. However, many bilaterial hearing losses are not fully resolved by medical or surgical intervention. Hearing problems that are not medically or surgically treatable are addressed by an audiologist. Frequently, these types of hearing problems may be helped by the use of hearing aids.

Life Expectancy Is On The Rise

Credonna Miller, Au.D. — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 14:00:27 +0000

The population of the United States is aging at an unprecidented rate and an aging boom is upon us. Life expectancy nearly doubled during the 20th century. Since the 1900s, the number of Americans aged 65 and older has increased tenfold. The oldest group, aged 85 and older, now constitutes the fastest growing segment of the U.S. population. By 2050, this population, currently 4 million people, could top 19 milliion. Living to the age of 100 will likely become more common. In 1950, only 3,000 Americas were centenarians; by 2050, there could be 1 million.
