A few days ago, an uncle came to our fitting center to choose hearing aids, he said that one of his distant relatives is also hard of hearing, and his children bought him a hearing aid, but he felt a headache when he wore hearing aids. What's going on?Do hearing aids really give people a headache?
Hearing aids are an effective way to improve hearing, and for most people with hearing loss, it will feel uncomfortable at first, but once it passes. period is good. However, there are also a small number of patients with hearing loss who will encounter some problems in the early stage of wearing hearing aids, such as headache and dizziness when wearing hearing aids. When you or your family members encounter such a problem, don't panic, contact the hearing care professional and ask them to help analyze the cause and prescribe the right medicine to solve the problem.
One, the brain is not adapted
In the early stages of hearing aids, the brain is flooded with more sounds, some of which are much louder than before, and it takes time for the brain to get used to these sounds. And during this adaptation period, headaches may occur.
Workaround:The adaptation period is gradual and should not be rushed. Hearing aids are typically worn for the first time in a 4-week** schedule, ranging from two hours a day to the end of the day. The wearing environment ranges from a quiet home to a noisy supermarket, etc., which can not only have a more scientific and rapid adaptation to the hearing aid, but also avoid some wearing discomfort.
Second, the phenomenon of revitalization;
In some patients with sensorineural hearing loss, the auditory dynamic range will gradually shrink and rejuvenate. At this time, if the adjustment is slightly improper, the user will feel that the sound is very loud, and it will cause discomfort and even headache when worn for a long time.
Workaround:Go to the fitting center and have the hearing care professional re-debug until the problem is resolved.
Third, the hearing aid you buy casually is not suitable for you;
Some users, without doing a hearing test, just buy a hearing aid and wear it, without hearing matching and debugging, only simple sound amplification, poor sound quality, loud noise, long-term wear will cause a burden on the human hearing system, thus causing headaches and other symptoms.
Workaround:Scientific fitting and correct use. Hearing aid fitting requires a visit to a specialist fitting center like Liercon Hearing Technology. Through hearing test, product audition, debugging and other steps, you can choose a hearing aid suitable for your hearing. Don't buy it at random.
Fourth, bad wearing Xi;
For example, sleeping with hearing aids and preferring to turn up the sound of the hearing aids yourself can also cause headaches.
Workaround:Hearing aids are the beginning of listening, and the right use is the key. When sleeping, you should not wear a hearing aid, which will not only cause the hearing aid to compress the ear, but also prevent the ear from getting enough rest. Don't adjust the volume of the sound arbitrarily either. When you can't hear clearly, you can gradually increase the volume and adjust the volume slowly. Or follow the guidance of the hearing care professional to avoid the sudden amplification of sound that may burden your hearing.
In short: headache is a common physical disease in daily life, and there are many reasons, when this problem occurs, don't worry, you can first judge whether it is related to wearing hearing aids, if the headache is caused by hearing aids, you can investigate and solve it according to the above methods. If you can't tell whether it is caused by wearing hearing aids, you can remove the hearing aids first and go to the hospital for examination to avoid delay**!
