Hearing loss more frequent with age
(NewsFix) Older adults are at high risk of developing hearing loss, according to a new survey. More than 2.2 million adults over 70 in the US have some degree of hearing loss, making it one of the most common health problems. Surprisingly, perhaps, few studies have looked at the actual incidence of hearing loss in the general population. Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have looked at the progression of hearing loss among a group of adults aged 48 to 92 years over a five year period. The group comprised 1,635 people with no hearing loss and 1,085 with some hearing loss. The study revealed that the risk of developing a hearing loss over five years was 21 per cent. More than half of those…
Short-term hearing loss can lead to long lasting problem
According to the new research Massachusetts Eye and Ear published in Nature Communications proves that the short-term hearing loss during childhood can lead to regular hearing deficits, even after when basic auditory sensitivity has returned to normal. The team made a deep study by inducing a brief, reversible hearing loss at the key milestones during the cortical development. After that they identified two critical time periods occurring after hearing onset that regulates the maturation of coordinated binaural sound representation. They found out that this childhood problem could reoccur as this the development of sound processing develops at small age only. The co-author and also Hearing scientist Daniel Polley, Ph.D., from Massachusetts Eye and Ear/Harvard Medical School’s Eaton-Peabody Laboratories of Auditory Physiology explains, “These findings demonstrate…

Early hearing loss detection and treatment is a must
Detecting and treating hearing loss early is essential. Left untreated, prolonged hearing loss can have increasingly serious consequences in both adults and children. As adults many of us laugh off a gradual decline in our ability to hear others or the activities going on around us. We say we’re “having a senior moment” or we just turn up the television or the music. Studies show, however, that the social and physiological effects of hearing loss build up over time. We may find it increasingly difficult to follow conversations and become tired of the effort it takes to sustain a rewarding social life. Relationships with family and friends can become strained and we may lose interest in activities we once found enjoyable. Further, a lack…

Addressing hearing loss helps women stay physically, cognitively, and socially active, the Better Hearing Institute (BHI) advises, as part of its outreach in recognition of National Women’s Health Week.
