Hearing Loss Example

This is an example of what various types of hearing loss sound like to the individual with the loss. I had been looking for something like this that would give me an idea of what my son's hearing loss is like (moderate). This is a great tool for parents looking to relate to their child's loss.

Am I incorrect in thinking it only shows the lessening of the upper frequencies? It seems like only one half of the audio gram is changing? Am I misunderstanding? thanks

@lio3737 You are right. The loss in these videos is more in the higher frequencies. The moderate and severe examples do show a significant loss in the lower frequencies too. My understanding is that the types of hearing loss shown here are the most common types. Thanks for noting that.

@shqiperiany hang in there. Remember that they just don't understand your situation. Explaining it to them goes a long way to helping.

The part in the ear is the ear mold. It basically keeps the tube positioned in your ear canal. There are a bunch of differing aids on the market so make sure you get the one best for you. Good luck

@shufflefin aww. my hearing loss is getting worse and worse.. i swear. people think im retarded because when they ask me a questio and i hear them( i answer them) but when they ask me another question ( i dont hear them) and i just shrugg my shoulders "i don't know" they think im retarded lol.. btw do you know what thats hearin aid thing that u put inside the ear canal?

My hearing comes in under the speech "banana". as a child it was moderate loss, each time i have hearing test its gone down. Went for hearing test and new digital aids couple of weeks ago, now my hearing has gone down to profound loss.

This is such a fun example. Hearing loss in the higher frequencies is more common. Well done.

When I am in public place thats very loud like a restaurant, public bus, grocery store especially, food court at the mall a person talking directly to my face might as well be whispering cause I hear it mostly on the moderate scale you have hear and I am about to turn 40 very soon (May 24) and i think the long string of ear infections is starting to have a permanent toll, I really think I should have ear tubes inserted
