Can My Hearing Aid Restore Lost Hearing?

January 23, 2019

Is this the same way with how hearing aids can restore hearing loss? Continue reading to find out.

Let’s not prolong the question any longer. The simple answer is no. But before you go and close this page, you might want to know what it can rather do. Here are the benefits and uses of hearing aids.

1. Relieve tinnitus

Tinnitus is a condition wherein the patient hears ringing or buzzing sounds. While it is not a condition in itself, it is almost always a symptom of an underlying condition. Tinnitus can be very bothering and uncomfortable, which may affect the productivity and lifestyle of someone who is experiencing it. These sensations can be eliminated with the use of hearing aids.

2. Slow down cognitive decline

Many studies have linked hearing loss to dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. In fact, these medical conditions were seen to be very great in those who do not wear hearing aids. It has been said that a reduce in hearing can actually speed up the gradual decline in the auditory areas of our brain that makes speech more understandable.

3. Boosts job performance

Having difficulty hearing one’s colleagues and superiors can greatly affect the work performance. This is because misunderstanding and unresponsiveness may ultimately lead to unproductiveness. Instructions may be misheard and attending meetings may become very challenging for you.

4. Impart better social and overall quality of life

This is perhaps the most useful benefit of hearing aids in one’s life. With hearing aids, you are able to hear sounds that you wouldn’t want to miss. You can easily converse with your friends and family without giving them a hard time. You can listen to sounds that can serve as destressors. You are also able to listen to different kinds of music. And who doesn’t love music, right? There’s so much that you would be missing out without proper hearing.

5. Provide safety

Having hearing loss can be considered a disability. There are cases that hearing health is vital to ensure safety. Take for instance driving. Getting behind the steering wheel while experiencing hearing loss is very risky. Luckily, hearing aids is your simple solution.

6. Allow high-tech functionality

Devices today are all interconnected. Your hearing aids can be connected to your car, to your TV, and even to your smartphones! You can easily answer a call and you can properly hear what’s playing on the screen with the help of your hearing aid. Moreover, most types of hearing aids even have noise-filtering technology that helps reduce the background sounds so that you can experience the most natural-sounding hearing.

While hearing aids cannot completely restore normal hearing to the degree of your previous capacity, it can still help you enjoy a lifetime of sound. Don’t let this opportunity to hear again pass.

I started experiencing loss of hearing sometimes in 2010 (41 years old) owing to some medical issue. I was having difficulties hearing conservation especially in meeting. Thus, giving me the fear in attending meeting.

Initially I started with Phonak hearing aid. It helps amplified the sound and I could hear better then. Somehow, my hearing loss deteriorated further that in late 2012 (43 years old), there was profound loss of hearing on my right ear. Even digital hearing aid could not help. On my left ear there is still about 50% to 60% hearing with hearing aid. I was lost at this point of time. I was considering learning sign language. I went to see my ENT specialist and my audiologist Mr. Bala advised me to go for an CI as an alternative to my hearing loss.

I also thank God for Engineer and Scientist, giving them the knowledge to create such a complex and sophisticate device to help those with hearing loss like me. It will be all perfect if the cost is affordable too.

She is very knowledgeable, and friendly, and we are encouraged to ask questions. she is also very patient with old people which is the most importance. Also her after service is superb so I highly recommend.

My mum, Madam Kek (73 year old) had the Cochlear implant (CI) done on her left side in 10th September 2019. Thereafter, thanks to the subsequent auditory verbal therapy, evaluation from SGH ENT team, as well as, the support from AB's and Listening Lab staffs; Madam Kek was able to hear, comprehend sound and music from her Cochlear implant, Naida CI Q90, and hearing aid (HA), Naida Link UP, for her right side before end year. We are happy that both the CI and HA have improved mum qualify of life. Now Madam Kek is looking forward to work again to pass her time as she can hear and better communicate with others.

Titus was implanted when he was 18 months old. He is a happy, talkative 6.5 years old now. AB has been with him for 5 wonderful hearing years and we are looking forward to a bright future that lies ahead for him. AB’s Naída CI sound processors are reliable and the technology is constantly evolving and upgrading. When Titus was introduced to Naida Link CROS, his life was enriched. The wireless network established between his Naida CI sound processor and a Naida Link CROS transmitter allows him to hear from both ears. This changes Titus’s life and the way we interact with him. We are also very pleased with the prompt response and service provided to us. The staff in AB genuinely cares! We want to thank AB for making Titus’s hearing journey an enjoyable and a relatively stress free one!

I have been living with progressive hearing loss for more than three decades. Socially, I find myself fearful of communicating with people and at home, watching 'soundless' television programs is a norm.

An unforgettable experience. Trying on a pair of Resound GN hearing aid, I was energized and revitalized and overwhelmed with emotional tears of joy. The Resound GN is truly remarkable and uniquely equipped with three-friendly-user environmental modes that provide hearing comfort wherever we are.

In particular, I like to extend my utmost gratitude to Hearing Consultant. With her profound compassion and wisdom in guiding me, I am confident that I can forge a formidable partnership with the Listening Lab; So that I can rebuild a new chapter of a happy and value-creative life and simultaneously, leaving behind the painful memories of the past three decades.
