Hearing Information

Brandee asked:


Anyone have knowledge, links, or personal info about permanent hearing loss due to airbag in accidents? My dad was in an accident about a month ago (front passenger) in a Toyota Tundra hitting a deer. We were initally told it would probably be temporary, not diagnosed as permanent. Can anyone explain why? Anyone have this problem, or have articels I can print for my father?

I really love acting, in spite of the fact that it is a difficult and cutthroat industry, but I think I have the right kind of temperament for it. I have thick skin, and I’m dedicated to what I love.

I also suffer from a hearing loss, and I’ve been mainstreamed (I’ve gone to a public non-deaf specified school, no deaf/hearing impaired only classes or support groups). I really want to act, but I’m unsure if I will only be able to the special tv episoide as the “deaf girl” (if that, because I don’t know ASL, don’t idenfity w/ deaf culture). I want to do work in this industry becasuse I love it, so how would I overcome typecasting, and be able to do the diffrent roles I want to? (The difficulty of getting a job in the first place put aside). When I say diffrent, I would like to know how I could get non-deaf/hearing impaired character roles, since (obviously) there is more roles under that out there.

Please help, I really am passionate about this, and I want to be an ACTRESS, not just a tv role whenever a girl from a hearing impaired family gets killed on law and order. I’m very serious about this!! I have an appointment set up w/ the ear doctor to see if I can get smaller hearing aids, so that it’ll be less of a obstacle to overcome.

BTW, I suffer from moderatly severe hearing loss, and the damage is in the nerve endings of my ear - meaning that it could only be fixed w/ stem cells.

I have a friend who suggested my 20 month old niece take glyconutrients to improve her hearing loss she has had since birth. However, I cannot find any articles which has researched this. I am not sure where to go to find out if glyconutrients or glycoprotein supplements do help indeed. Please direct me if you know or have experience with this personally. Thanks in advance.

For example has anyone done studies of opera singers to see if they experience hearing loss? (I guess it would be hard to determine if it was caused from the orchestra or their own voice)

I had my baby boy 12/19! asked:


Hello! I’m 17 weeks pregnant and a professional drummer. I will be going on tour for 2 weeks in Europe. So, I will be 18 and 19 weeks pregnant. I am nervous about all the noise from the drums (especially the snare drum that is the drum closest to my stomach) can cause hearing loss for my unborn child.
Tell me your thoughts on this. I will not be playing more than 30 minutes at a time.

Liesel asked:


I have my first audiology appointment on the 4th and I’m nervous about hearing what I’ve already known all along. The nature of my job required that I use headphones, so I know it’s becaue of that, and I will get compensated accordingly, but I wonder if my hearing loss will only get worse, or if it will stay at what it is. What kind of hearing aid did you use? Any suggestions for the future? (I don’t listen to loud music, in fact, I prefer silence =)
