Value Hearing and Tinnitus Solution

1. 1300 791 092 At Value Hearing & Tinnitus Solutions we believe that hearing aids are a necessity and not a luxury and should be priced accordingly. For far too long, we believe that  some hearing aid retailers have been pricing hearing aids at prices that the market can bear rather than what is fair. What is worse is that their level of service and care have not always matched the standards expected at their inflated hearing aid prices. http://www.valuehearing.com.au/

2. 1300 791 092 Hearing Loss Hearing is one of the senses human beings are blessed with. It begins with the sound waves traveling through the ear canal to the ear drum, ear bones and the inner ear, before reaching the brain for interpretation. In case of hearing loss, people not only face difficulty in understanding what others are saying but also leads to frustration, anxiety and depression. Some common causes of hearing loss include too much ear wax and cholesteatoma. http://www.valuehearing.com.au/

3. 1300 791 092 How Hearing Works? When we speak we generate sound that travels in the form of sound waves that are then collected by the ear. Then the sound waves focused on the ear canal and travels down the ear canal and hits the ear drum. The ear drum vibrates in and transfers the sound via the middle ear bones to the inner ear or cochlea. In the cochlea sound waves are converted to electrical impulses then sent to the brain for interpretation. So essentially the ear is a microphone, while the brain is actually the organ that interprets what we hear. http://www.valuehearing.com.au/

4. 1300 791 092 Signs of Hearing loss Hearing loss often develops so slowly that we hardly notice it at first, but over time we can simply not adjust to the amount of hearing loss and the signs start presenting themselves more noticeably. The first people to normally notice hearing loss are those closest to you and they would often point out that you are not listening or that they always have to repeat themselves. Those with developing hearing loss often would blame others for mumbling or not facing them when they speak. http://www.valuehearing.com.au/

5. 1300 791 092 Hearing loss caused by too much ear wax Ear wax is a necessary part of  the outer ear and helps prevent fungal and bacterial infections, while keeping the ear canal lubricated. Normally the ear is self cleansing, but in some ears, this mechanism is impaired by excess ear hair or a smaller ear canal blocking the normal clearing of the wax. In these cases the wax could build up to such an extent to cause temporary hearing loss, requiring manual removal by your doctor or audiologist. http://www.valuehearing.com.au/

6. 1300 791 092 Conductive hearing loss Conductive hearing loss is hearing loss caused by a blockage of the outer or middle ear, preventing sound waves from reaching the inner ear. Conductive hearing loss often requires medical intervention and can range from very simple such a s too much ear wax right through to more serious conditions such as cholesteatoma which is a cyst growing into the middle ear. An audiologist performs several tests that may help identify a conductive hearing loss. If such a loss is identified then the appropriate referral would be made. http://www.valuehearing.com.au/

7. 1300 791 092 Hearing Loss Overview Hearing loss is the third most common medical complaint. The most common type of hearing loss is sensory neural hearing loss, where there is damage to the nerves of the inner ear, reducing the amount of sound information reaching the brain. Hearing aids are most often prescribed for sensory neural hearing loss, while medical intervention is often required for conductive hearing loss. One could also suffer from mixed hearing loss, where both a conductive and sensory neural hearing loss is present simultaneously. http://www.valuehearing.com.au/
