CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW???????????
TINNITUS RING LIST!.............
RING!...................
“Cigars? Cigarettes? Vaping Vials?”
I sure hope these hearing aids come out soon.
The traditional solution to the Cocktail Party Problem is to smile and nod alot.
“For individuals with hearing loss, the difficulty of selective listening can be so extreme”
These folks should talk to my wife.
She’s been using selective hearing waaaaay before her hearing aids were put in.
Others may complain about my hearing loss, but it doesn’t bother me a bit. I’ve heard enough, already.
I SAID, WOULD YOU LIKE TO SWEEP WITH ME? I’D LIKE TO SWEEP TOGETHER!
To my shock, this syndrome just started happening to me. No fun.
My poor MIL is overwhelmed in a group setting, meaning more than two people with her at a time. A couple of years ago, when she turned 95, we gathered all of her children for a week long celebration. There were 8 of us with her, her 5 children and some of the spouses. It was fun (most of the time), but when we were all together she was just dazed. I don’t think she understood a word of what was said.
It may be too late to help her, but you never know. She’s a stubborn lady and has a goal of making it to her 100th birthday, which will be in 3 years. She’ll turn 97 next week. Still at home, but with caregivers that come during the day.
It needs the ability for the user to choose which voice to focus on. Otherwise, you’ll be hearing the wrong person well, and the right person poorly.
I don’t go to cocktail parties for many reasons. One of them is that most of the conversations that are going on are not anything I care to join in on.
If there is more research on improvements to current technology then great, proceed with my blessing.
However, some currently available hearing aids do a good job filtering out unwanted sound with multi-mike arrays and software. Jabra and Rexton, to name two.
I called the tinnitus help line, but it just kept ringing.
If it requires binaural hearing, I am SOL.
Only one ear sort of works,
The background yammering is a very real thing.
The aids just make everything loud, not more comprehensible.
