According to the WHO hearing loss grading scale, the details as follow: ●Normal Hearing Loss: -10 ~20dB (No or very slight hearing problems. Able to hear whispers.) ●Mild Hearing loss: 20dB~40dB(Able to hear and repeat words spoken in normal voice at 1 metre.) ●Moderate Hearing Loss: 40~55dB(Able to hear and repeat words spoken in raised voice at 1 metre.) ●Moderately Severe Hearing Loss: 55~70dB(Able to hear some words when shouted into better ear.) ●Severe Hearing Loss: 70~90dB ((Able to hear very few words when shouted into better ear.) ●Profound Hearing Loss: 90~120dB(Unable to hear and understand even a shouted voice.) Hearing classification is based on the results of pure tone audiometry, which is a subjective test. Since children (especially those under 5 years old) are often unable to cooperate well with this test, and there are certain differences in hearing threshold and hearing sensitivity between children and adults, the grading criteria here are only applicable to adults,

After the  hearing aid  fitting is completed, what should be done if the user complains about some problems with the hearing aid? Here are some common problems and solutions for your reference.   Question 1：Feedback There are many phenomena that can cause feedback in hearing aids, and it can occur at any stage during or after the hearing aid fitting. The key to solving feedback problems is to understand when feedback occurs. For example, the cause of feedback is different and is handled differently when the user first wears the hearing aid than when it occurs after a period of wear.   Checklist. 1. Ear wax in the microphone/receiver? 2. Excessive ear wax in the ear canal? 3. Microphone covered by the ear? 4. Jaw movement (chewing motion) causing poor sealing of the hearing aid? 5. Vent is too large? 6. Volume control always on maximum? In the case of hearing aids without volume control, is the gain of the hearing aid turned up to near maximum? 7. Is the peak of the response curve too h

Hearing aids are more suitable for moderate hearing loss, and there are more choices of models with better effect; Hearing aids for mild hearing loss and severe hearing loss, the improvement is not as obvious as moderate hearing loss; very severe hearing loss is the worst, and the choice of

Hey doctor, how do i know your   hearing aids   is good? Yes, there is the methods of hearing aid effect evaluation include sound field test, hearing aid threshold, speech test, real ear analysis, and questionnaire.   1.Hearing aid hearing threshold evaluation: Verification of the sound adjustment of the hearing aid by waving the smallest sound that can be heard after wearing the hearing aid, which is one of the most widely used verification methods.   2. Questionnaire survey evaluation: It refers to whether the hearing aids after fitting can achieve the desired effect. Audiologists need to make subjective judgments on the benefit effect and final effect of the patient through a standardized questionnaire. This method is used more abroad.   3. Speech test: After wearing the hearing aid, play the recorded vocabulary list through headphones or speakers. This list is divided into monosyllables, two-syllables and short sentences. When the user hears a word, he repeats it, and records the n

25dB is considered normal hearing, 25-40dB is considered mild hearing impairment. Hearing loss can lead to impairment in interaction, so we have to pay more attention to the hearing problems. If there is an abnormality, further examination of the ear is recommended. An otoscopy can be performed to identify the specific cause and treat it as soon as possible to avoid further hearing loss. Follow are tips for protecting our hearing in the daily life: 1. Stay away from noise, which can damage the inner ear and accelerate the onset and development of early age-related deafness, so avoid exposure to noise, especially to firecrackers, explosions and strong gongs and drums, etc.   2. Early detection and treatment.   3. Quit smoking and drinking, do not use ototoxic drugs, etc.; nicotine and alcohol can directly damage the auditory nerve, and long-term heavy smoking and drinking can also lead to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the inner ea
