Do I Need Hearing Aids?

A common type of hearing loss is one in which people have normal or nearly normal hearing in the low-and mid-pitched sounds, such as vowels, but have hearing loss in the range we hear high-pitched sounds, such as consonants.

Vowels such as “o, ooh, ah, a, e” have most of their energy in the lower pitches or frequencies and are easy to hear. The higher pitch consonant sounds such as “s, sh, f, th” and tend to be softer and harder to hear. Yet, it is the high pitched consonant sounds that are most critical for speech clarity and understanding.

In normal conversation, speech might sound loud enough but lacks clarity so your ability to understand what is said is compromised. This problem is more noticeable when you are listening in background noise or when there is greater distance between you and the talker.

What can I expect from my hearing aids?

Unlike eyeglasses, hearing aids do not correct your hearing back to normal. Instead, hearing aids function to amplify sounds in a particular range of pitches – the range where the hearing loss exists. Included in those sounds can be speech or environment sounds such as bells ringing, birds singing, conversations from nearby tables at a restaurant or busy traffic noise.

Benefits from hearing aids in each ear include:

  • Improved ability to understand speech in background noise
  • Less amplification in each hearing aid reducing the possibility of feedback (hearing aid whistling)
  • Less auditory effort so you are less fatigued at the end of the day
  • Improved ability to locate the source of sound
