At Value Hearing Tinnitus Solutions we believe
that hearing aids are a necessity and not a
luxury and should be priced accordingly. For far
too long, we believe that  some hearing aid
retailers have been pricing hearing aids at
prices that the market can bear rather than what
is fair. What is worse is that their level of
service and care have not always matched the
standards expected at their inflated hearing aid
prices.

Hearing Loss
1300 791 092

• Hearing is one of the senses human beings are
  blessed with. It begins with the sound waves
  traveling through the ear canal to the ear drum,
  ear bones and the inner ear, before reaching the
  brain for interpretation. In case of hearing
  loss, people not only face difficulty in
  understanding what others are saying but also
  leads to frustration, anxiety and depression.
  Some common causes of hearing loss include too
  much ear wax and cholesteatoma.

How Hearing Works?

• When we speak we generate sound that travels in
  the form of sound waves that are then collected
  by the ear. Then the sound waves focused on the
  ear canal and travels down the ear canal and hits
  the ear drum. The ear drum vibrates in and
  transfers the sound via the middle ear bones to
  the inner ear or cochlea. In the cochlea sound
  waves are converted to electrical impulses then
  sent to the brain for interpretation. So
  essentially the ear is a microphone, while the
  brain is actually the organ that interprets what
  we hear.

Signs of Hearing loss

• Hearing loss often develops so slowly that we
  hardly notice it at first, but over time we can
  simply not adjust to the amount of hearing loss
  and the signs start presenting themselves more
  noticeably. The first people to normally notice
  hearing loss are those closest to you and they
  would often point out that you are not listening
  or that they always have to repeat themselves.
  Those with developing hearing loss often would
  blame others for mumbling or not facing them when
  they speak.

Hearing loss caused by too much ear wax

• Ear wax is a necessary part of  the outer ear and
  helps prevent fungal and bacterial infections,
  while keeping the ear canal lubricated. Normally
  the ear is self cleansing, but in some ears, this
  mechanism is impaired by excess ear hair or a
  smaller ear canal blocking the normal clearing of
  the wax. In these cases the wax could build up to
  such an extent to cause temporary hearing loss,
  requiring manual removal by your doctor or
  audiologist.

Conductive hearing loss

• Conductive hearing loss is hearing loss caused by
  a blockage of the outer or middle ear, preventing
  sound waves from reaching the inner ear.
  Conductive hearing loss often requires medical
  intervention and can range from very simple such
  a s too much ear wax right through to more
  serious conditions such as cholesteatoma which is
  a cyst growing into the middle ear.
  An audiologist performs several tests that may
  help identify a conductive hearing loss. If such
  a loss is identified then the appropriate
  referral would be made.

Hearing Loss Overview
1300 791 092

• Hearing loss is the third most common medical
  complaint. The most common type of hearing
  loss is sensory neural hearing loss, where there
  is damage to the nerves of the inner ear,
  reducing the amount of sound information reaching
  the brain. Hearing aids are most often prescribed
  for sensory neural hearing loss, while medical
  intervention is often required for conductive
  hearing loss. One could also suffer from mixed
  hearing loss, where both a conductive and sensory
  neural hearing loss is present simultaneously.
