The Effect of Not Wearing Your Hearing Aids – A Case Study of Paul
Paulcame into Ohana Hearing Care as a 50 year old male who had been wearinghearing aids for nine years. Paul had a moderate-severe hearing loss inboth ears. The hearing loss was equal in both ears. Paul walked intothe office wearing just the right hearing aid. He told me his lefthearing aid had stopped working four years ago and he never replaced it. Testing was done to find out how correctable Paul’s hearing loss was. The results were as follows: Paul’sright ear, the ear which wore the hearing aid on a regular basis,showed a correctable hearing loss of 80% of what the average personwould understand when Paul wore a hearing aid in the right ear. Paul’sleft ear, the ear which went without a hearing aid for four years andhad the same hearing loss as the right ear, showed a correctablehearing loss of only 40% of what the average person would understandwhen Paul wore a hearing aid in the left ear. The ONLYdifference between Paul’s left ear and his right ear was he supportedhis hearing and level of correctable understanding with a hearing aidin the right ear and did not wear a hearing aid in the left ear. The moral is use it or lose it. Accept your level of hearing loss. Accept that you may have limitations due to your hearing loss even with hearing correction. Accept the help that you have available due to your hearing loss Wear your hearing aids regularly each day to keep from losing more of your ability to understand speech.
