    Great video ... begs the question ... if hearing aids can provide a such a medically important improvement in cognitive areas ... Why doesn't Medicare provide better support to help maintain this important health area?

      Because Medicare is a dinosaur and they are looking for reasons to reduce care not improve it. Inflation increases costs every year, yet reimbursement decreases every year. Welcome to the twilight zone.

    *Complete reversal and cure of hearing loss should be the top priority. We are in the 21st century it should therefore not be a problem to completely reverse hearing loss. Our culture (music for example) and our life is dependent on a fully intact hearing. Many species on this beautiful planet can regenerate their hearing if it has been damaged. It would also be a billion dollar market. I remember when the "Ice Bucket Challenge" was launched in 2014. How about a new challenge, but this time for finding a cure for hearing loss? We need to bring the problem to the public and we need to draw attention to it. Our hearing is valuable, just like our eyes. We need a breakthrough in research and medicine to restore hearing!*

    Hi Dr Cliff, thanks for this informative video. People don't realize how integral hearing is for our development and overall health. I'm in my 30's and finally went to a local Audiologist here in Australia after dealing with hearing issues my whole life and was really taken back by how affected I was without realizing it. My speech is affected, I cant pronounce some sounds because I've never heard them its also why some words despite being simple are difficult for me to interpret because my brain just isn't translating the sounds.
    Your videos have been very helpful, trying to find suitable hearing aids and what their various technology levels mean is quite overwhelming. You've made the process easier!

    Dr. Cliff I’m borrowing a my father new $4000 hearing aids only used 1 month . I’m amazed what I can hear with slight hearing loss with the hearing aids . I can’t use them all day because they were designed for someone with severe hearing loss . In my ears the hearing aids let me hear too much . The sound of me walking on rug and hearing things outside while inside with dual pane windows . Intensifies my hearing now I know how good a dog hears .
    ( Anyone that has good coverage for hearing aids even if they don’t need them get them because it will intensify your hearing as a dog hears . Outside in nature you will hear sounds thinking your super hero with hearing powers . It puts the iphone air pods “Live Listen” to shame .

    Thank you. Covid caused awful tinnitus which prompted me to get an evaluation revealing a 40 decibel hearing loss flat across all frequencies. When I tried hearing aids it was instantly clear that I haven’t heard well for a long time. The first thing I noticed wearing them consistently was a big uplift in mood and energy. When your brain is working so hard to hear, it’s draining, even if it’s subconsciously so. I’ve also increased in my ability to focus and remember. I had even gone through two neuropsych evaluations because I was having such a hard time with memory and was concerned about early onset dementia, they diagnosed adult ADHD and recommended meds, and it turns out I just needed to hear better.

    This was a great video. I'm in my 60s and have worn aids since about the age of 3. I have a moderate to severe loss, so I always have the aids on and only take them off when I go to bed. As I get older, I see some of my friends starting to wear aids and often they tell me that they only wear them when they go out and I've always wondered why. I thought it was perhaps that their loss was only mild, so they could cope without them. But to me that never made sense because if they coped, they wouldn't need aids at all.

    Hi Dr Cliff. Nice video. After 3 years of a sudden hearing loss I have a unilateral severe hearing loss only on the high frequencies (low frequencies are fine). I can understand most of conversations on my bad ear but i have developed a nasty tinnitus an hyperacusis. I tried to used Phonak hearing aids tuned to the best fit possible to no avail. It does not improved hearing as audition gains are restrictive by feedback. This limitation in standard hearing aids made them useless. What other hearing aid would you recommend to provide some input on the high frequencies so it could be tuned to the best hearing practice. The T and H are deteriorating to the point that i considering and implant?

    Hi Dr. Cliff, Thanks for highlighting this scary reality. How about for Unilateral Hearing Loss (Sensorineural)? My CROS HAs only send sounds into my good ear, which perfectly hears sound & connected to perfect, active, hearing neural pathways in my brain. However assuming my poor/non- hearing ear and side of brain will still be left totally "untreated", since no registered stimulation into them; even though I use a top-tier CROS HA set-up. Is my understanding correct, based on your logic as an Audiologist? Besides conducting surgery on my bad ear (i.e. CIs), will "stimulating" my bad ear with a HA help me, my brain and slow down loss of related neural connections, based on your logic & opinion as an Audiologist, not Neurologist? Thanks.

    • @DrCliffAuD
      @DrCliffAuD  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I haven't seen any studies about SSD and cognition. Information from one ear will technically stimulate both sides of the brain, but not sure if that is enough. CIs do show a positive impact on brain function after Implantation/activation.

  • @autismlifehacks5233
    @autismlifehacks5233 ปีที่แล้ว

    What's the minimum hearing loss that hearing aids can treat? Research shows that you don't need to lose 26dB of hearing to have reduced cognitive performance. Can hearing aids even amplify sounds as low as 10dB? It's possible to overlook certain risks to hearing like wind noise from cycling and hammering.

    Interesting video. What does it mean for deaf people? Are they permanently cognitively impaired? Maybe so. As someone with tinnitus and hyperacusis where many ambient sounds make everything worse, the idea of using hearing aides to ramp up sound just doesn't seem like a good idea. And no, my tinnitus is not caused by hearing loss.

    Hello! My dad recently passed away and was basically completely deaf since childhood. he was born in 1951 and the story goes that he had a really bad fever and convulsions when he was a little kid and lost all of his hearing in one ear and almost completely in the other as well he could hear a very little bit wearing a hearing aid in life, we discovered that he had a brain AVm that was treated with gamma knife surgery. He died three years later due to a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm that was 12 cm. Do you think it is possible that the brain AVM could be related to why he couldn’t hear his whole life? Also, could his aneurysm have gotten worse, possibly after the surgery on his AVM?

    one key thing you said in here, people with hearing loss tend to stop excercising. well i have read dimentia videos and they say excerciseing a goodamonut is a key to make sure you don't get dimentia and by excericsing more, unless you have a storng onset of it to begin with you can reverse it back. so perhaps that is the real reason and that the omtivation from hearing loss is not the actaul reason but the side effects of other things it casues.
    i have a hard time beliving poor hearing would cause dimentia..
    if that were the case, then we would have a massive amount of deaf people with diemeita,wouldn't we?
    and /or people that have had 90 percen less hearing then nomral too
    but i have seen many deaf people, including in older age. and none of them i have met have any diemtia tha ti am aware of.

I can't seem to figure out if I have hearing loss, or just trouble processing speech that got worse when I stopped interacting with people in lockdown...I could of course get my hearing tested, but I did in early 2020 when I developed tinnitus and it was just fine. my issues don't seem to have gotten much worse since then, so I'm confused whether the problem are my ears or my brain. I'm only 19, so it can't be age-related 🤔

    I just don’t see how wearing my hearing aids help. All I hear is horrible background noise to the point it drives me crazy. I’ve had 2 pairs of hearing aids. One really cheap pair and one really expensive Phillips pair. Unfortunately, no difference between the two when it comes to promoting hearing.

Dollars to $1.500.00 a pair of analog hearing aides and I didn't like it since it kept repeating breaking down .So my medical Insurance company decided to let me go 80 miles away from my house to a much better hearing Aides dealership Audiologist professional Audiologist AuD that work really great my first digital hearing Aides are first generation Digital size 675 battery power hearing Aides was sort of good but after 3 months trials period I'm ready for another better 1 generation Digital hearing Aides that has size 13 battery it longer battery life up to 16 to 18 days work better than old analog hearing aides size 675 battery power hearing Aides and I'm wearing it now Phonaks Milo Plus digital hearing Aides just a basic hearing Aides without any noise Cancelling device and no Bluetooth and no surround sound system upgradeable since that time in 2013 I couldn't afford $1.500.00 for one hearing aide and couldn't afford over $3000.00 a pair of 2 hearing Aides upgraded even with my medical Insurance company paided half of it since I just started living by myself at a expensive apartment after my grandparents had died of old ages when I took care of them . Until mom paided half of my old hearing Aides and still ended up having to get it repaired every 3 years . To last month I'm finally got my medical Insurance company to recommend paying for my new waterproof hearing Aides and I don't know how much it cost yet until next week or longer There are great difference between analog hearing aides and digital hearing Aides hearing better than before . I recommend you get your own hearing Aides fix correctly and getting a new ears molds and tubes replaced and getting a new digital hearing Aides and better surround sound system upgradeable with Bluetooth added and noise Cancelling device built-in hearing Aides like Phonaks Audeo Paradise rechargeable battery hearing Aides or Phonaks Audeo Life Digital rechargeable battery hearing Aides like I'm going to be getting. Go do it NOW!! Demanding to spend at least 2 hours of hearing testing and try to get your own hearing Aides fix correctly and getting new ears molds and tubes correctly .

      Hearing aid benefit depends on the type and frequencies of hearing loss and word recognition scores. If good word recognition but need volume louder, hearing aids will often help. Adjustment and fitting of the hearing aid is key to making sure it is programmed for your specific hearing loss. If just a general programming, might not work as optimally.

      I suffered a SSHL almost a year ago in my left ear. I had had bad hearing in my right for years due to an accident. My SSHL was due to covid or the vaccine. My doctors could not tell which. Either way it was difficult. I have a crossover system which is ok but with the amount of loss I have life is still challenging. I’m 63 and do not want major surgery so I’m not doing a C.I.. The loss of playing and listening to music has been the worst along with struggling to interact with my grandchildren. But I don’t feel my brain is scrambled. I read, collect books, write poetry, do photography. I’ve had to make serious adjustments and hedges against my future by pushing myself.
