Hearing Aid Feedback Home Remedies

October 23, 2009 by Leave a Comment

If you or a family member wears a hearing aid that has a feedback (whistling or chirping noise) problem, it can not only impair the users ability to hear, but also for those around them. It can soon develop into an emotional distress that if not taken care of, may lead to isolation. There are different cause for feedback, but the most common one is the hearing aid mold, or shell, not fitting properly.

Should I buy cheap or expensive hearing aids?

October 12, 2009 by Leave a Comment

How do you prevent yourself from spending too much money on hearing aids, and getting more technology than you need? Will I get the most benefit if I buy cheap or expensive hearing aids? I’ve been in the hearing aid industry over 25 years now, and I am amazed at the wide spread of technologies available, costing anywhere from $14.95 for a cheap amplifier that can harm your hearing, to over $10,000 in some places for a set of sophisticated digital hearing aids.

Hearing Aid Brands and Pricing

October 5, 2009 by Leave a Comment

Recently, someone pointed out the fact that I never did a listing of specific brands of hearing aids that were the same or almost the same, as I referred to in the last letter. So here it is, even though I will be sticking my neck out on the line! This is a portion of a response that I sent by email to a newsletter subscriber, mentioning specific brands and pricing comparisons: “There are a lot of good brands, and some are better than others, but because of competition, most of the "respected" Read more [...]

The Wonderful News!!

September 24, 2009 by Leave a Comment

One of my first experiences with how embarrassing a hearing loss can be to someone was over 25 years ago.  At the time I was working as a hearing aids specialist in a community in Oregon. One day the pastor of a church in a small town nearby that was known for its local lumber mill came in asking for help. The pastor came by himself, which is unusual.  Many times men his age (mid 50's to early 60's) come unwillingly, practically led in by a wife or family member, tired of repeating things!

A Healthy Heart

This morning, while driving to work, I couldn't help but think about the importance of cardiovascular health.  I am a type 1 diabetic that has struggled with poor circulation.  My Dr. always told me that i needed to exercise, eat right, and test my blood sugar at least three times daily.  I wished I had listened to him. For those of you that are reading this blog, I can assure you that my Dr. was 100% correct.  This blog is dedicated to health, hearing loss, and good living.  I know that Read more [...]

Ten Steps to Stop Hearing Loss from Ruining Your Life

September 23, 2009 by Leave a Comment

Hearing is one of the most important senses that we have.  Someone once asked Helen Keller: "If you had a choice between having your hearing back, and having your eyesight back, which would you choose"?  Helen Keller didn't even hesitate.  She said she'd take her hearing. Our sense of hearing greatly affects our quality of life.  It is part of sharing with the people we love, and a big part of successful relationships. I remember my father coming home very discouraged from work one day. Read more [...]
