Fascinating
I’m 47, until last November I had super sensitive hearing. I could hear others conversations through walls and ceilings. (Not a good thing) then a virus gave me bilateral middle ear effusion and burst ear drum in one ear (luckily healed well)
Since then the distance that I can hear mum talking has halved. Really frustrating as she is used to me hearing her at a large distance.
Had hearing test and my hearing is very good.
I’m still getting used to not being able to hear things as easily and it is weird not hearing people walk behind me.
One good thing is I no longer hear others conversations through walls and ceilings.
I will miss being able to locate slow dripping water leaks days and weeks before they penetrate plasterboard. Saved thousands over the years!

this is fantastic, thank you. i do ok on hearing tests but my hearing in even slightly noisy situations is shocking

I’ve been buying OTC hearing aids for 25 years. Couldn’t understand what anybody was saying. I just got the Sony cre-c10’s. These are amazing. I don’t need close captioning or say what to people anymore. To program them I had to cheat a little. Don’t answer 0 to any of the prompts that ask you how many beeps did you hear. Push one or the programming will stop.

Interesting video. I have felt that i have more difficulties than most people in difficult hearing situations even when my hearing loss was considered to be within normal range. I felt I was always a few steps behind the conversation in noisy situations and that would raise my anxiety in social interactions. Being in a high risk group for cognitive decline, it is good to know that being proactive in hearing treatment has been helpful for self care and the risk associated with comorbid conditions. I am sure i will have questions to add for my next scheduled appointment with Dr. Frink in October. Thank you for keeping the public informed of different developments and concerns regarding hearing loss.

Wow ... lots of info, Cliff. Good job! 😁👍

I have conductive hearing loss. Was born with a perforated eardrum. Always have a weird full feeling in my ear and moving my jaw makes it go from feeling full to empty and clear

Thanks for another enlightening video. So how can the fourth type be tested and identified if regular audiologist tests just green light the impairment? Do audiologists actually look out for it these days?

Dr Cliff, Gratitude from India, learning so much from your videos, i hve few questions that somehow the audiologists near me are not addressing, can you help :) and the questions, my dad, 77, has a 42% & 46% hearloss in his ears, while all the 1.audiologists in my nieghborhood, insist on using a ric, what do you say, is BTE usuable, (he has parkinssons and finds ric fragile)
2. my budget is looow, so phonak L30 (or the waterprrof version-its pretty humid area) or signia 1AX(cant get any audiologists to show either resound or widex)
3. Real ear measurements seems to be rocket science, atleast the gadget i saw on your video, any suggestion.
If you reply, thank you so much and if you dont thank you so much!!!

Did you ever do a video on CT scan for hearing loss loss like to know more about that because I’m having one done soon for a 55% hearing loss in one ear

I lost all hearing in one ear, my GP and ENT say that all the hairs in the cochlea were "crystallized" by a cold and fell out. Are there any treatment options available in this case? I heard a few years back that stem-cell treatments were being looked at, but have heard nothing further about it.

Where does reverse slope hearing loss fall under?

There is a type of hearing loss where a person hears the sounds clearly, perhaps with hearing aids, but cannot discern all of the words. I get a special test for this where I am asked to repeat words. I used to rank over 90% but now more like 70%.

Does that map into one of these hearing loss types or is it different?

Treating subclinical hearing loss might help someone join or continue a conversation across the room more easily which helps them stay socially active. Theoretically, a person with 0 dB hearing loss can hear 16 times further away than someone with 24 dB of hearing loss because every doubling of distance reduces the volume by about 6 dB!

Also, hearing speech sounds clearly above one's hearing threshold should reduce listening effort compared to hearing them right above it.

I have a notch in my right ear's hearing test result around 4 kHz but the peak was probably around 4.4 kHz. Since the PTA used three tones, doesn't include the threshold at 4 kHz, and my low frequency hearing was normal, no treatment was recommended. With a tone generator playing 4.4 kHz, my better ear seemed to hear it better even with an ear plug! I tried a hearing clinic's online hearing test listening to conversations in noisy environments according to them, I had signs of moderate hearing loss. I think the notched hearing loss may have caused it.

Have you tried using frequency transposition for your cookie-bite hearing loss?
