Comments on: This question is about hearing loss in an 80 year old. Why does her hearing seem to fade in and out, where she? http://www.ihearclear.com/blog/this-question-is-about-hearing-loss-in-an-80-year-old-why-does-her-hearing-seem-to-fade-in-and-out-where-she/ Sun, 12 Feb 2012 23:28:02 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: raysny http://www.ihearclear.com/blog/this-question-is-about-hearing-loss-in-an-80-year-old-why-does-her-hearing-seem-to-fade-in-and-out-where-she/comment-page-1/#comment-1422 raysny Wed, 09 Sep 2009 00:19:13 +0000 http://www.ihearclear.com/blog/this-question-is-about-hearing-loss-in-an-80-year-old-why-does-her-hearing-seem-to-fade-in-and-out-where-she/#comment-1422 I have a partial hearing loss in one ear. With me, background noise makes a huge difference. If a TV or radio is on, even a fan is going on my hearing side, the noise competes with what I hear from the other. I imagine she has Medicare, shouldn't be too difficult to find somewhere to have her hearing tested. I have a partial hearing loss in one ear. With me, background noise makes a huge difference.

The location of the little hairs inside the cochlear (inner ear) determine the pitch of the sound we will hear. The sound travels through our outer ear into the cochlear which then the little hairs start to move by the sound wind. Connected to the hairs is a nuclear object that transfers the sound into chemical messages, then traveling to the brain so it can be determined as sound. Over time, these tiny hairs become damaged, allowing only certain pitches to be heard better than others. This is what may be happening to her. It is normal for older people to lose hearing. I would try to get a hearing aid quickly. It is very upsetting and frustrating for a person not be able to her. We are able to hear by these little hairs in our inner ear.

It's kind of like a pair of headphones that the wires are going bad on. If you hold it just right it'll work, but if you bump it the wrong way, it stops picking up sound.
