Notice Strange New Sounds?

Some people describe tinnitus as a hissing, roaring, whooshing or buzzing sound instead of ringing. It may be sporadic or constant and is a symptom of an underlying condition rather than a disease itself. Thankfully, there are ways to find relief.

Stay on Top of Your Brain Health With Cognivue Thrive

August 27, 2024
Stay on Top of Your Brain Health With Cognivue Thrive As we age, our bodies change (hello, creaky joints), and our brains do, too. Periodically forgetting recent events like where you put your keys is normal, but consistently having trouble completing tasks without help or not being able to name items isn’t. Interested in knowing where your brain health stands? Center for Hearing is pleased to offer our patients Cognivue Thrive—a revolutionary diagnostic tool for cognitive function. Get Peace of Mind Cognivue Thrive is a portable, self-administered, computerized screening device that measures cognitive function and takes minutes to complete. It empowers you to take control of your brain health by uncovering any cognitive issue as early as possible, ensuring that you can get help faster. The Cognivue Thrive experience begins with a four-minute introductory video followed by tests measuring memory, executive function, visuospatial abilities, processing and reaction time. Your audiologist reviews the results and uses them in clinical decision-making to set expectations, make referrals as appropriate and determine success. They will also send these results to your primary care doctor or other health care provider. The Hearing Loss and Cognitive Decline Connection If you or someone you love has hearing loss, evidence shows that you’re at a higher risk of cognitive decline than someone with normal hearing, making Cognivue Thrive even more crucial for your overall well-being. In a study published in 2013, 2,000 older adults (average age: 77) were tracked for six years. Those who began the study with the worst hearing loss were 24% more likely to see a decline in cognitive ability compared to individuals with normal hearing. 1 But separate research also shows that patients who get treatment for their hearing loss with hearing devices reduce their odds of cognitive decline. 2 Early detection of hearing loss and cognitive issues is key. We can uncover both for you at Center for Hearing by incorporating Cognivue Thrive into your comprehensive hearing evaluation.

Is It Your Hearing, or Is It Your TV?

August 27, 2024
Is It Your Hearing, or Is It Your TV? You’re watching the latest episode of your favorite TV show, wrapped up in the story and hanging on each actor’s every word. Suddenly, you can’t make out a sentence, blurt out, “What did she say?” and completely lose the plot. Struggling to hear your TV is a telltale sign of hearing loss. Unfortunately, modern TVs, speakers and other factors don’t make it any easier. Why Hearing Your TV Is Sometimes Hard Poor TV speaker sound—The speakers in your TV are likely tiny, offer unsatisfactory sound quality and are set to the manufacturer’s setting. To fine-tune your listening experience, go to your TV’s Sound menu and select Dialogue, News or Speech Boost mode to make speech clearer. Also, consider turning down the bass, which can overwhelm dialogue. Soundbar or external speaker snafus—These devices likely provide better sound than your TV speakers but can still be insufficient. You’ll want to ensure speakers aren’t too close to a wall or inside a cabinet, activate the speech-improving Movie mode on your soundbar and remove speaker grills. Movie dialogue getting more challenging to understand—Today’s films may use a more real-life style, where you’re not supposed to hear every word and the actors mumble. On set, capturing speech with a boom mic close to an actor may not work with the visuals of the shot, leading to softer, less clear dialogue. And mixing sound for TV streaming can be challenging, resulting in less-than-optimal sound quality. Regardless of your TV settings, if you find yourself needing to turn the volume up, you should talk to our expert audiologists about a hearing test. In the meantime, consider using the Closed Captioning mode on your TV or a streamer (if you already have hearing aids) to help you hear speech better.

How Untreated Hearing Loss Affects Overall Health

August 27, 2024
How Untreated Hearing Loss Affects Overall Health The average hearing loss patient waits seven years before seeking help, which can take a toll on their quality of life. 1 The longer someone puts off getting treatment, the more likely they are to face negative consequences for their well-being—hearing loss is linked to several common health conditions. The Impact on Your Health Your brain makes sense of the sound your ears take in, allowing you to hear. Untreated hearing loss causes your brain to process fewer sounds, leading to some pathways atrophying or being used for other functions, which can contribute to health problems. People with hearing loss: · Have three times the risk of falling 2 · Are up to five times more likely to develop dementia 3 · Are at a greater risk of experiencing depression and social anxiety 4 · Can struggle to communicate and become socially isolated Their financial health can also be affected—research shows that untreated hearing loss can decrease one’s annual income by up to $30,000. 5 How to Cope: Get an Annual Hearing Test Hearing loss usually develops gradually, making it difficult to notice for many patients. Since early support is key, scheduling an annual hearing test with an audiologist is crucial. Annual testing will help detect any hearing loss as soon as possible, allowing an audiologist to treat your hearing loss more efficiently and effectively to help you maintain a good overall quality of life. The Role of Hearing Aids and Communication Strategies If your audiologist determines that you have hearing loss, hearing aids can help you communicate, connect and even improve your health. Evidence shows that wearing hearing aids can enhance balance, 6 slow cognitive decline 7 and reduce depression in patients. 8 Using communication strategies is another way to make living with hearing loss easier. Turning on your TV’s closed captions, ensuring you can see a person’s face when they’re talking and moving to a quieter location to speak together are all examples of communication-enhancing techniques. Now’s the time to take control of your hearing—and your health. Call (239) 434-0086 to schedule your hearing evaluation.
