Antibiotic medication triggered a
hearing loss for Sheri Tobias of
Farmington Hills, who wears aids in
both ears. "I told myself some time
ago that I have this disability, I
need the hearing aids, it's going to
take an adjustment but I'm going to
make them work because they're
going to make my life easier,"
explains Tobias.
"I've upgraded my hearing aids
and I'm now wearing what are called
digital hearing aids that are pro-
grammed particularly for my hearing
problems. I can also make some
adjustments on them but they're still
not perfect and they are expensive,
costing close to $3,500."
Tobias finds that not wearing them
or turning them off when she attends
sporting events or dines at noisy
restaurants works well because the
aids pick up some background noises
and amplify those along with every-
thing else.
According to Dr. Steven Marks,
chief of otolaryngology at
DMC/Sinai Hospital, the major
problems of hearing loss take place
when people can't hear what'd taking
place in a normal environment. It's
not unusual for people not to be
aware that they have hearing loss,
because it develops gradually. More-
over, many people frequently teach
themselves lip reading skills, often
unconsciously, and become accus-
tomed to the absence of sound.
Bernie Miller, age 75, has been
wearing hearing aids for three years.
He's purchased his second set and
admits that he still can't hear every-
thing.
"This set is a bit smaller than my
first pair," explains Miller. "I clean
them daily and every three weeks or
so I change the batteries. They're a
pain in the neck but I need them.
Now when I drive passengers back
and forth to Metro Airport, I can
hear the directions they're giving me."
Technical improvements are making
hearing aids better, but some users are
disappointed because their expecta-
tions are unrealistic or the hearing-aid
salespeople were not well trained.
The consensus of users and med-
ical professionals: get a medical and
hearing examination before buying
any products. Talk to friends who
wear hearing aids and find out if
they're satisfied with their hearing
aids and the sales people they work
with. Above all, be alert to misleading
claims and buy from a reputable dis-
penser. ❑
