Great video. Love the fact you’ve pointed out the same ‘audiogram’ can be experienced differently by different people. We always inform people there is no correlation between degree of hearing loss and the level of difficulty someone experiences. We see people with severe losses who have a low perceived degree of difficulty and mild hearing losses who score very highly on the Hearing Handicap Inventory. The danger with an audiogram is it only tells part of the story, which is the level of damage… helping people with hearing loss is about so much more than this.
Brill video Vik, we will have to talk about this when my appointment comes through for you reduce my turbinates as still having ear problems! Def need a MRI/CT scan of my ears! Kind Regards.
Thank you so much for this video. I am having hearing tests tomorrow as a have persistent tinnitus and I have trouble hearing. I did the scratching on the mastoid bone and could only hear it properly on one side, so thank you for this insight. I’m now going to watch your videos on tinnitus as I don’t fully understand the condition. Thank you again for your valuable information and time, Mr Veer.
I have, I believe it is a cookie-cutter hearing loss. So the opposite of a cookie bite. I can't hear high or low frequency. However, I have a normal range in the middle. I also think it is important for people to understand that a hearing test doesn't cause a hearing loss if it is already there. All it means is that you can now get support for the hearing loss rather than sitting in silence (pun intended).
"I can't hear high or low frequency. However, I have a normal range in the middle. " I'm the same. My audiogram is an upside down U. Makes sense because I have Meniere's Disease and I'm old. :^)
Dr Veer, you briefly mentioned recruitment in this video. In a future video could you further explain recruitment and hyperacusis? Are they two different things? I'm curious to know which one I experienced when my Meniere's was active and speaking close to my bad ear, or sometimes noise in general, was quite painful and/or vertigo-inducing. Thanks.
