Hearing Information

syn2cool2fool asked:


I am not completely deaf but according to my audiology test, I
have problems hearing high pitch sounds! Would this affect me in
the future if I was going to be a pilot? I’m kind of worried.. It would be great to get an answer from someone who knows the restrictions to be an ATP pilot.

I have to write a paper for a class, really short (500 words).
I was given a case study about a guy….basically stated that he started to experience hearing loss at around age 19 to 20…and he’s about 24 or 25 now .

He has no symptoms besides hearing loss

Anyways, one of the questions i have to address is…..give 2 possible reasons for his hearing loss.

1 reason i thought of was noise induced hearing loss.

Having trouble thinking of a second reason.

I ruled out a buildup of earwax or other ailments, because in 5 years, they would have been spotted and cleared up. Also the case study doesn’t mention previous sicknesses or anything. So i have to assume he didn’t have any sort of ear infection.

I thought of a few hereditary causes…ones that hit in the teens… but they all have symptoms that don’t fit the situation.

Any help would be great
Oh and i’m not saying it is NOT hereditary.

Just i couldn’t find a hereditary disease that fit the situation.

Rick asked:


Is it true that when you hear a ringing sound in your ear of a particular frequency, you can no longer hear that frequency again?

William asked:


the hearing threshold shift is limited to about 55dB. hence suggest a method to distinguish between conductive and sensorineural hearing loss?

jorge asked:


What constitutes consistent exposure? What is tinnitus? Does the sufferer refuse to do anything about it, demanding instead that everyone who speaks to them must stop mumbling? Why do you suppose there is such a stigma about having hearing loss, given that so many people suffer from it?

My husband just had his annual physical and they told him that his hearing was “no good”. I’ve known this for years. What are some of the top of the line hearing aids. We’re willing to spend whatever it takes as the hearing problem is bothersome for everyone.
