For many reasons, social gatherings prove to be very difficult for individuals with one form of hearing loss or the other. These gatherings have noise has the major component that makes up the social experience and the after effect of ringing in the ears of a hearing-impaired person can be very uncomfortable. Because of the unbearable nature of these situations, some individuals choose to just give up on engaging in any social activity. This decision despite being a tough one has sometimes proven to be the only choice for most people. Imagine not being able to go to your favorite restaurant anymore, or skipping your daughters dance drama because you cannot cope with the loud music and sounds playing from the various instruments.
Now, one will ask, why not just get professional help or visit a hearing help center? Well, depending on how severe or mild the condition is, some people shy away from getting any help from professionals or intervention centers. Hearing aids are expensive so very few people turn to that option and other just choose to manage the situation and avoid anything that can cause any discomfort to them or distort their balance.
Some hearing-impaired individuals employ certain strategies to help them cope with social situations which they are not able to avoid. Imagine having a face to face conversation with another person in a room full of people all talking at the same time. Except the person becomes more audible, it can be hard to comprehend the information which the individual is trying to pass across to the listener. Unbalanced hearing refers to the absence of the sense of sound direction, and it only takes a significant increase in sound pitch, that is, the party that wishes to be heard, talking louder to convey information. Maintaining a conversation is such a situation is particularly exhausting because of the continuous interference of noise from the environment.
I have got a few recommendations to help anyone challenged with any form of listening difficulty overcome the situation and instead of opting out and then give up.
You can take precautions and stay away from places known for their exposure to loud noises. Even for people with normal hearing abilities, loud noises prove to be dangerous to the ears. Now, to help individuals overcome challenging listening situations, a start-up company from Zurich created the Fennex App which converts your Apple AirPods to a powerful hearing aid. The solution is not just way more affordable than conventional hearing aids, but it has also proven to be more efficient in the segment of mild hearing loss.
