Hearing Information

shmoopy asked:


okay for the past month my earsx have been gettting plugged up out of nowhere ..

but yesterday they got plugged again. but this time i slept and it did not go away. my ears are clean . and i tried using peroxide. but this time with my right ear i will but my finger in it and ill hear the normal sound you hear when you plug your ears but on my left ear ill try it and its nothing.. it the same as me not plugging it up. im really worried because my mom has hearing loss and it started when she was in her 30’s. so how do i know if this is hearing loss or if it will go away?

and also i dont have medical insurance.. so should i got to an er or should i make a apointment with a MD and pay out of pocket to get this checked out…?

this is really bugging me i feel dizzy too

It is frustrating to say the least. Unfortunately with having changed jobs I don’t have health insurance. So if I am going to see a doctor I want to make sure I am going for the right thing or if I can take care of it at home. I would say 50% of my hearing seems to be effected in one ear. I can’t seem to get an idea of symptoms. Thanks.

Billboxing asked:


It’s time for me to get a hearing test, as my hearing loss seems to be getting worse everyday. What’s the best hearing aid for men that are the least conspicous ? What insurance might help with coverage?

This isn’t for me, it’s for a friend, so I’m limited on more information. All I really know is that he was having tooth problems on one side, that went untreated. This was a few months ago. Now, today, he cant hear out of the ear on the same side as the problem tooth. Might these two be related? YES i know he needs to go to the Dr… If he had $ and/or insurance, I’m sure he would have by now… Help?

Pinklight asked:


I am hearing impaired, and I had to purchase a hearing aid last year, my insurance company does not pay for hearing aids, therefore there was no reimbursement at all. Any advice will help. Thanks!!

…. asked:


if they do not have insurance or a regular health care provider , is there any other resources ?
