Digital Hearing Aids Providing Better Answers For Your Hearing Loss

She explained that one ear was completely gone additionally, the other ear was beginning to go as well. She was concerned because she didn't want anything to happen to her remaining good ear. When I asked her about the "dead" ear, she replied that she had been in an accident and was told that she would not hear again out of that ear; don't bother.

We continued the hearing evaluation and I looked inside the ears with our camera and noted that both ears
looked unremarkable and seemed to be very healthy. As we began pure tone testing, I said that I was going to test the left ear first and then the right ear (which was the "dead" ear). She stopped me and said, "No, you don't need to do that. I don't hear out of that ear."
I said not to worry, I'll simply do a brief check to ensure. Halfway through the test she stopped me and asked, "I hear it inside my left ear. What's happening?" "Is that my left ear you're testing?"
I replied that yes, it absolutely was. She looked at me with a puzzled expression after which at her daughter and said, "I don't understand. Why am I hearing that beep in my left ear?"

I said, "Because you can still hear in that ear. It's not dead!" We proceeded using the testing using a process called masking which ensures you keep the good ear from hearing for your poor ear. Sure enough, Gail's left ear was aidable. Granted, it had a severe loss which explains why she thought she couldn't hear. Most of all was her word recognition. Because she could recognize and process speech, the choice was made to fit both ears which gave her natural hearing and better word understanding.
In the weeks that followed, Gail's life was transformed. "After picking up my new hearing assistive devices and returning home with them, I found myself in another unfamiliar, but joyous world. I really could hear. I really could hear things I did not have any idea existed. The birds were chirping , my front porch was creaking, my dog, who happens to be a Great Dane, sounded just like an elephant running through my home, the grandfather clock inside dining room sounded like it was right alongside me, the rabbit drinking water, the pump on the fish tank, and most of all, my 12 month old grand daughter cooing, all taking place , at the same time. They were sounds which hadn't heard in so long I forgot that they even existed.
