When Is It Time to Get a Digital Hearing Aid?
So you finally decided that it was time to give in and purchase a hearing aid, but now you have no idea where to go or who to turn to when purchasing one. Don’t worry, the process of getting a hearing aid is simple if not always cost-friendly. There have been some definite breakthroughs in hearing aids over the past decade, and that is only going to benefit you. While hearing aids can certainly be expensive, how can you put a price on the ability to hear your friends and loved ones? One of the very first things that you are going to want to figure out is how much money you want to spend on your hearing aid. Unfortunately, most insurance companies do not cover the cost of hearing aids. Therefore, you are likely on your own. If you are part of a HSA or Health Sharing Plan, you may be able to put some of your money towards the hearing aid. Even if you think your insurance isn’t going to cover it, it is best to contact them just to make sure because some will. Now that you know how much you want to spend you want to decide what type of hearing aid you get. You will want to decide between a ‘in-the-canal’, ‘in-the-ear’, or ‘behind-the-ear’ hearing aids. I would explain further, however the names are actually pretty self explanatory in and of themselves. Finally, you are going to have to decide if you want to get an analog or a digital hearing aid. As you can imagine, the digital hearing aids are more expensive, however they have a much better quality of sound. Digital hearing aids are basically the same as analog hearing aids, except for a few key differences. A digital hearing aid actually can filter out noise and only allow the noises you want to come through come through. It gives you better volume control, a clearer sound, and also noise reduction. These key features are what make a digital hearing aid worthwhile. The bottom line is that you are going to want to find a hearing aid that fits your exact needs and your exact price. There is no use looking at high-tech hearing aid if you don’t have the coin to back it, but there are plenty of options out there to help you find hearing aid that fits you best.

Definition of hearing impairment?
Hearing impairment is any loss of hearing for a variety of reasons. It refers to a condition that causes someone not to hear as well as someone with normal hearing. It does not refer to the degree of hearing loss, the cause of hearing loss or the indication that someone should wear a hearing aid. Not all causes of hearing loss indicate the need for a hearing aid...some may be corrected medically. If you ask others to repeat, find yourself turning up the tv, missing out on the punchline of a joke, missing out on important meeting facts, you might be experiencing some degree of hearing impairment.
At what hearing loss percentage should you get a hearing aid?
Audiologists do not measure hearing in terms of percentage. Rather, hearing loss is determined based on how patients perform on hearing tests. If the patient has a hard time hearing people in conversation, the doctor may recommend a hearing aid.
How do kids handle being bullied about hearing aids?
Minors can be mean and nasty by teasing someone that is either wearing glasses; hearing aid or braces on their teeth. For years children who wore glasses were called 'four eyes.' Children who need hearing aids should ignore the kids who are bullying them and eventually they will find someone else to pick on. You must keep in your mind that there are thousands of young people who have to wear a hearing aid. The hearing aids of today are so small that it is difficult to see them unless you choose to tell someone you are wearing a hearing aid. For now ignore them and eventually the bullying will stop.
What dB hearing needs a hearing aid?
Various dB losses require a hearing aid. The question isn't so much what decibel loss requires a hearing aid, but at what point does your hearing interfere with your life enough that a hearing aid would prove beneficial. Because people are different, hearing aid manufacturers intentionally design an array of hearing aids suited to mild (least-affected grade of hearing loss) loss to severe. Additionally, different models of hearing aids may effect when you might wish to purchase a hearing aid. For example, original hearing aids were analog, so they were made with a specific hearing loss in mind. If your hearing changed past a reasonable range covered by your hearing aid, it might have been necessary to purchase a new one. Now, analog programmable hearing aids are adjustable, and can be programmed by an audiologist to suit your fluctuating hearing loss. Finally, and most expensively (also: what I wear) are digital programmable hearing aids. My audiologist is able to test my aided and un-aided hearing, compare it to my hearing aid programs (plugged into the computer) and change my hearing aid levels very quickly. As someone with a permanent progressive loss, this type of hearing aid is helpful because my hearing aid adjusts as my hearing does. In general, it is advisable to get a hearing aid if you have trouble hearing, if your hearing loss is affecting your relationships with others, if your safety is affected while driving, working, or at home, or if you are unable to adjust to a more physical form of communication (cued speech, American/British Sign Language, SEE, Simultaneous Communication, lip-reading, etc.). As far as hearing levels go, a minimum loss is 26-45 decibels, and your purchase of a hearing aid truly depends on the above questions as to whether or not it will be beneficial. If you believe you have a hearing loss, please consult an Ear/Nose/Throat specialist to rule out any other possibilities besides a permanent hearing loss. After that, take their advice regarding seeking out an audiology specialist to assist you in choosing which particular device would be most beneficial to you!
