Best Hearing Aids

Eric is his name. His age is 14 years old. He still studies in secondary school. Eric is a kid that has a problem with self esteem and friend relationship. He wants to be normal, he has a progressive hearing loss and needs to wear hearing aids in order to ensure he is not missing out on important information in class.To find the solutions for a young kid having that such a problem is not easy. One of the reasons is most discrete hearing aids are usually not fitted to young kids because of their ear shape changes shape so quickly at their age. This usually means that the kids has to endure wearing a seeing hearing aid and it maybe be ridiculed by his lot of friends.

'Best hearing aids' advices.

The most expensive and easiest approach is to buy him a Completely In the Canal aid which the other kids won't see. More than likely at thatage the aid will need to be re-cased every year at a cost of a couple of hundred dollars. Before that, we need to investigate how effective the hearing aids too, because often a reason for not wearing it is that in a background noise of school the results are so poor the child has little or not reason to wear it. It all depends on the quality of the system he has.

For others method, what we can do is try to impress upon him how the importance of education, and remind him that wearing a hearing aids is not embarrass rather than do not know how to answer teachers question or being the last in the class. Putting attention to teacher's lesson is more valuable rather than entertain people or friends negative perception. Exposing himself by actively answering question inside th class will gain his confidence and automatically avoiding people to concentrate to his hearing aids.

Some people belief that wearing a hearing aid keeps the speech recognition centers of the brain more active, which helps prolong speech intelligibility. Not wearing the aid makes the brain more 'lazy' at understanding speech which seems to compound the problem. By ensuring Eric wearing his hearing aids will helps this kid to be more active and understanding a speech since hearing aids functioning is to give back people hearing and better communications.

Another approach would be to consider letting him grow his hair to cover it up. But it is surely depends of the necessarily and his personality. Some boys aren't suitable to have a long hair. Otherwise there will look like a girl. Also, some school are so strict (dependson school rule) that not allowing boys to have a long hair.


'Best Hearing aids' conclusion...

Last, I wish we had the right answer for Eric. All we can tell him is that hearing is a precious thing, that there are people out there who don't have the opportunity to hear music, voices, everyday sounds we take for granted. If anybobody outside there have same problem like eric, please take the advantage of this precious gift while you can.

Hearing Aids

When the first time I saw people wearing hearing aids, I feel sympathy on them. Sympathy in term that I still have a pairs of ears that still work properly for me but there are not. I am so sorry for them since most of them that I saw still a kids averagely around 7-20 years old.

I try to have a talk with 16 years impaired hearing boys ,I would like to know about his feeling when public or people is talking to him . I try to approach him by asking him a direction of a some places and onwards just a simple chatting. You no what? This boy is actually have a good conversation with me without have any self conscious among us. it is happen for about 15min until I approaching him to talk about his device (hearing aids) plug on the ear. This boy start seem self conscious and look tiny shame. His hold his hearing aids and stop the conversation. I know this boy aren’t happy when people try to talk about his hearing aids. His feel uncomfortable at that time. To make the chatting un-stop, I said to this boy that his hearing aids look cool. You wear wearing a Bluetooth device instead of hearing aids. This boy laugh and giving a smile.
Yap, we had a good conversation actually. After that, I am know little bit hearing aids person personality. There are the same with us unless we are make them different.

Here is several tips that I want to share with you how to communicate with hearing aids impaired person.

1. Impaired hearing person is a human being, same as us. Never look this person weirdly such as there are an alien from other planet. No prejudice will lead a good conversation.

2. Talk or speak to them normally as per we talk to normal person. Mostly, hearing aids user are normally heard what people said to them. The volume of Hearing aids device already adjusted louder than normal to make it comfortable and clear to hearing aids user.

3. Behave of eye contact when talk to them. Try ignore the present of hearing aids on their ears. If not, just assume the hearing aids is a cool or awesome device when plug on their ears.


4. never shout! Same reason as point number 2

By practicing these lesson, we actually are giving a place to hearing impaired person to joint our society without prejudice. It is a pleasure to have these hearing impaired person on our community. Life is for everyone, let make this world happy :)
