Digital Hearing Aids Better Solutions For Your Hearing Loss by Weston Small

She told me that one ear was completely gone and also other ear was starting to go as well. She was concerned because she didn't want anything to happen to her remaining good ear. Once 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 in the ears with the video camera and noted that both ears
looked unremarkable and seemed to be very healthy. As we began pure tone testing, I pointed out 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 have to do that. I don't hear out of that ear."
I said no worries, I'll just do an easy check to verify. Halfway through the test she stopped me and asked, "I hear it in my left ear. What is happening?" "Is that my left ear you're testing?"
I replied that yes, it absolutely was. She looked at me with a puzzled expression then at her daughter and said, "I don't understand. Why am I hearing that beep in my left ear?"

I said, "Because you can actually still hear in that ear. It's not dead!" We proceeded with the testing utilizing a process called masking which keeps the good ear from hearing for your poor ear. Sure enough, Gail's left ear was aidable. Granted, it had a severe loss which is why she thought she couldn't hear. Most of all was her word recognition. Because she could recognize and process speech, the decision 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 assistive hearing devices and returning home with them, I found myself in another unfamiliar, but joyous world. I could truthfully hear. I could hear things I did not be aware of existed. The birds were chirping , my front porch was creaking, my dog, who happens to be a Great Dane, sounded like an elephant running through my home, the grandfather clock in the dining room sounded just as if it was right adjacent to me, the rabbit drinking water, the pump for the fish tank, and most of all, my 1 year old grand daughter cooing, all happening all at once. These were sounds which i hadn't heard in so long I forgot that they even existed.
