Receiver-In-Canal Moisture Management for the Receiver Prong Junction
Просмотров 178Год назад
In this video I will show you that it isn't enough to just clean hearing aids, we must take them apart to check for invisible moisture where the receiver plugs into the hearing aid. I will go over the protocol to change it out for the best prognosis and how to prevent it from building up in the future. #Receiverincanal #RICHearingaids #MoistureManagement #HearingAids #Drrosehelpsyouhear

    I often experience it in one corner of my house. It can sound like a pop music station or a country music station or a football game or a radio announcer, but very faint. I’ve sometimes opened my door to see if I heard anything coming from my neighbor’s house or outside, but there’s never anything out there. I’ve come to the realization that it’s a faint mechanical hum, probably from the HVAC system, that my brain is organizing into the sound of music or voices.

    I was diagnosed with cookie bite hearing loss but I don't hear how the simulation shows what it sounds like with the cookie bite hearing loss. I'm confused. I can speak in normal tones to people within crowds. I can hear the TV on volume 5-7. I don't need to turn up the radio and I can clearly hear people in conversations even when they're speaking under their breath. Is there another example of cookie bite hearing loss? I'm trying to understand my diagnosis.

    My wife has developed something along this lines within her dementia symptoms. Sometimes she thinks I’ve left the TV on; sometimes a radio; one time she said there was a fan running somewhere because she was heading a motor sound. She’s deaf as a post without her hearing aids, so she’s not hearing any of these things without them (though I suppose the whooshing could be some form of tinnitus).

    Hi, I'm 67 years old and have experienced symptoms since early teens. It was mainly short attacks of vertigo that sometimes led to nausea and vomiting. By the time I was 30 I was experiencing the fullness and hearing loss with periodic vertigo and vomiting blood. The hearing loss was temporary and always returned to normal after a month or so and sometimes some discharge. This continued into my 60's and I was pretty severely disabled. The vertigo seemed to stick with me for longer periods. Mild mostly with more severe vertigo leading to vomiting blood every several weeks to months. I was diagnosed at about 60 years of age but given no real options for treatment. A few weeks ago on the 23rd of June, I decided to try a carnivore diet. I immediately went on a high saturated fat, no carb diet. It took a week to wean myself from sugar but I started noticing results after the second day. Every single symptom that I had been experiencing for 50 years + had totally disappeared. I have remained on carnivore and have been symptom free for 50 days. It seems miraculous and I am feeling better than I have felt for 30+ years. Absolutely NO dizziness or vertigo. I feel rock solid. Everything feels new to me and I am looking forward to putting on some weight and recovering completely. I'm sure I'll carry some PTSD around for a bit but I feel I have a much better life ahead. I had read that the carnivore diet knocks out auto-immune diseases. I hadn't heard anything specifically about Meniere's but I was becoming increasingly desperate to find some relief. It seems to have worked for me and I hope and pray that it works for others. Best wishes!

    I am surprised no one mentions taking Dramamine, the motion sickness drug. I take it daily to avoid vertigo. You can get Dimenhydrinate, the active ingredient in Dramamine, as a generic version, at W mart. Way cheaper than name brand. I also take Cortexi to reduce ringing to about half & it helps out hearing too. A vitamin B complex & D3 with K2, along with other supplements to improve circulation. Turmeric, Beetroot, Ginkgo Biloba, Garlic, Magnesium, Zinc, Potassium, Flaxseed, Milk Thistle, & Co-Q 10. This may sound like a lot to take, but I highly recommend it for it has helped me from becoming totally debilitated from vertigo. I researched and figured this out myself. I hope to get the message out to help anyone with Menieres and improve their quality of life. 🤞🏻🙋‍♂️

    i wanted to share a bit of my experience. A few years ago I was addicted to meth and would stay up for days at a time. this would cause any kind of white noise from an ac or fan to start sounding like a radio, eventually playing songs and whole commercials that i couldnt quite hear fully, like a radio was playing somewhere in the house. the longer i stayed up the louder it would be. one night i was laying in bed and a rap song started playing, i never listen or like rap but this was the most amazing rap song with the best lyrical flow i had ever heard, I wanted to write it all down and actually create it but it was beyond what i could re create. I also noticed when i would stay up, still images and video thumbnails would start playing and look like a full motion video even though i knew that it was just a still picture, this was involuntary and wouldnt go away until i slept. i did stop using drugs but found out later the I have epilepsy with focal aware seizures. I now hear songs playing all the time in my head, and notice and increase in repetitive ear worm type of songs playing a few days before i have clusters of focal seizures. the ear worm wont go away until a few days after the seizures around the same time my sense of taste comes back. I havent found any other people relating epilepsy and "ear worms" together.

    @jeremyguay1734 2 месяца назад

    im beginning to find out i might have this. it's been happening to me for quite a while but i only googled it a couple minutes ago. Its usually when im home alone and im not playing a video or watching anything. im hearing it as i type this. but it's not just music sometimes it sounds like a tv is on and a new broadcast is playing but so low i can't pick out individual words. i swear i just heard it say "wednesday". if i turn off anything that makes sound to hear it better it goes away. its low and quite so doesn't have a negative impact on my life, its more of a curiosity. i don't have any hearing loss though, i have great hearing actually, and im male under 40, but i am on methadone. so that could be it since there has been some relation to opiates. i'm just wondering if its worth me seeing a doctor over it.

    I've had diagnosed menieres since I was 10 or for 60 years. An ENT clinic made the diagnosis yet they made no offer of treatment apart from telling me some people have shunts or have their inner ear surgically removed. Later visits to GPs I was prescribed diuretics and one doctor even Valium. Not one doctor in 60 years ever gave me any repeat prescriptions. I very quickly worked out l was on my own with the disease. I experimented with what was readily available and stumbled across panadol Severe attacks that come on suddenly were harder to predict but if I was able to take just one panadol and keep it down before the vomiting started it would end the vertigo attack in less than 10 minutes at a guess. In those times I wasn't clock watching. Milder attacks were easier to predict and a panadol might head off an attack before it gets started. Long story short everyone should learn to recognise their own symptoms and take avoiding action. I've never had the opportunity to ask a professional about tinitus and what can be done about it. After all this time I've learnt to block it out which is just as well because I'd go crazy otherwise. I'm virtally deaf in my affected ear and the tinitus is beginning to drown out the hearing in my good ear.

    • @tbonemc2118
      @tbonemc2118 2 месяца назад

      Adding to my previous post I'd like to say I haven't had a severe attack for over 20 years. Once I did fall out of an armchair though. Saying that I can still bring on an attack virtually at will. This might not be the only trigger but I am super sensitive to temperature. Sitting with a bar heater heating only one side of my head and the sun as well. Swimming in cold water will bring on attacks too.

    Thanks for doing this video. I purchased a used Multi Mic and could tell that it was paired with my new Nexia hearing aids, but I couldn't seem to get it to work. After going through your video, you mentioned the app. I had looked at it before but didn't see the Multi Mic listed, then I noticed it was listed with my TV Streamer. I selected the Multi Mic and wow, it worked. I have a heck of a time hearing people in meetings, even if I am sitting next to them. Some people speak so softly that all I can see is their mouth moving. So frustrating. This Multi mic allows me to jack up the volume on the mic itself as well as increasing it through the app too. It's enough to blow my eardrums out. I can't wait to try in out in public. Thanks for the tips on the Multi Mic.

Idk, I'll have to have my ears checked I, suppose. Yet, it's kind of disturbing. Bc when it starts it plays constantly for many hours like from another room or outside, but it follows me at work & home. It doesn't sound bad, sometimes classical music, violins, or heavenly eerie music, sometimes with lyrics, most time not.

    Reverse slope sufferer here. This is only helpful up to a point. People have no idea how far-reaching this disability can be. There are so many things that this doesn’t account for. I have genetic (progressing moderate to severe at this stage) reverse slope hearing loss, like a number of members in my family. Here is my experience. Until my twenties, I didn’t experience much disability - in fact I studied music, and was in choirs, classical ensembles and worship bands. The upper frequencies that were fine (even higher than fine) compensated for so much. Later I experienced great grief when I started to realize that my ability to perceive pitch deteriorated. It is now at the point where I cannot determine the pitch of single notes, songs at church or any piece of music. An audiogram is an incredibly crude measure - it only plays certain pitches very few and far between. The ear hears billions of pitches - some hair cells might still work ok, others are knocked out almost completely, others are “messed up” - skewed/not processing properly - and still others actually are hypersensitive to the point of severe pain (hyperacusis). I experience all of those. This makes fitting a hearing aid a nightmare because it only programmes in broad “swathes” according to the crudeness of the audiogram. In addition many of us have tinnitus that comes and goes - some of the tinnitus interferes with the exact pitch of the audiogram. I get migraines, and this exacerbates different types of tinnitus sounds (droning, high pitched squeals, fog horn like repeating sounds, a constant sshhhh, certain high pitches that appear for a few seconds and then disappear etch). If that is present during an audiogram test - yes it most certainly makes it much harder to hear the discrete pitch of the audiogram. I am convinced this can skew the test. I encourage audiologists to repeat it, and to design tests with more pitches - pitches inbetween those that are traditionally used. There is a very large gap between e.g.6000 Hz and 8000Hz, and maybe consider going beyond 8000 Hz for people with reverse slope hearing loss because sounds beyond that are still helpful in my experience. I definitely do need the amplification, but I get exhausted by wearing my hearing aids because I have to cope with so much painful noise and extra “horrible sounds”. What I mean is the following: - Imagine every piano sounds like the worst out of tune honky tonk where some keys are missing and the others are horribly out of tune so that the whole piece isn’t even recognizable. There are weird vibrations where sounds ‘clash’ and form dissonances that set your teeth on edge. Imagine every piece that you used to know sounds like a nightmare - all distorted, and your brain is constantly trying to sort out all the notes - frantically trying to find something it can latch on to that it recognizes and can make sense of. It’s so exhausting. That’s why I’ve stopped listening to music for pleasure. - Imagine when you go to church and the congregation starts to sing a hymn that you know very well. Somehow your brain tries to find the pitch but you can’t! You try out several different keys in your mind, but somehow it keeps changing. You give up because you are afraid that if you sing, it will be in the wrong key, and it will bother the people next to you. In addition, several of the instrumental sounds are so overwhelmingly loud that it is painful, and there is a buzz (almost like an unclear overhead loudspeaker at a large public outdoor event) that drones away and masks every clarity. That’s why I either wear industrial noise blocking ear plugs during worship or I go outside. I also can’t hear the sermon anymore, at all. I guess at the words if I can get close enough to read the speaker’s lips. It’s devastatingly isolating not to be able to enjoy music in a group setting anymore. - After church, I go to the car because I’m so exhausted from the brain workout. I often have a headache. The crowd noise prevents me from being able to hear anything from anyone, and I’m too tired to even try. And yes, I’ve tried the litte noise isolating clip on microphones etc. The problem is not amplification/noise isolation. It’s the mess in the nerves and in the brain. - I have stopped communicating over the phone because speech has become unintelligible (sometimes I use Skype/Zoom if I know the people well, and there is clarity for lip reading). I mainly use text and email. It’s very hard when people keep phoning and get annoyed if they “can’t get hold of me”. Many people think a hearing aid fixes everything and I should be able hear perfectly fine. So called speech discrimination in an audiology office is laughable. A single voice with single, slow words (one by one) is nothing like real life. My brain might still be able to have time to scramble and play catch up and guess the sounds it hears one by one (needing a second or two to sifts through hundreds of options of what it might possibly have heard), but in real life hearing speech is nothing like this. Real speech is rapid, often garbled and takes place in the presence of other noises. Hearing speech is one of the hardest, hardest things to cope with when you have hearing loss. It takes your brain’s computational powers to the absolute limit - never underestimate how much energy this takes! My loss is at a point where I cannot discriminate speech anymore without the extra clues provided by lip reading and facial expressions. When people turn away, have food in their mouths, wear a mask or sunglasses or have a strong accent, hearing becomes an impossibility. I find I understand people I know well better (husband, mother, close friends) because my brain knows these sounds from long ago, but I often struggle to understand new voices (like my son’s new voice when his voice broke). I have also found that the “fancier” the hearing aids - the worse the worked for me. I seem to do better with simpler models. For phone calls I do best with cheap plug in ear phones that have extended higher frequencies - I hear much, much better! Apple ear buds are amazing, but they unfortunately don’t give me the amplification that I need. My dad did very well with analogue hearing aids, but very badly with digital ones. (I am considering looking for analogue hearing aids for my next trial. Or hearing aids with extended frequencies). I can’t understand why cheap earphones for my phone and things like apple earbuds (in transparency mode) work so infinitely much better than hearing aids that cost thousands of dollars. The TV streaming device sucks too - the sound is awful and it has a hissing sound in the background. I get the feeling companies make these things “for old people” who won’t notice and think they can get away with it. My husband is an ear nose and throat specialist - I can’t tell you how many patients he sees that don’t wear their hearing aids because they don’t work or don’t provide any benefit. So many audiology companies just want to make money off vulnerable pensioners - they sell the hearing aids with fancy advertisements (don’t get dementia from hearing loss, reconnect with your family again etc etc) and then the hearing aids just gather dust in a drawer. Patients really really struggle. We have a looooong way to go. Good audiologists who are willing to work with patients are few and far between. My audiologist kindly worked with me for a long time to find programming that helped a little within the constraints of what companies provide. I seem to prefer my amplification in the upper frequencies with very little in the bass. This is opposite to what the computer wants to do - if you have an inexperienced audiologist you may need to do some convincing. I think companies and audiologists need to totally rethink things. Sadly what is manufactured is mainly made for high frequency loss - there is hardly a profit for the companies in catering for our relatively rare issues in reverse slope hearing loss. I applaud the wonderful audiologist and forums who advocate for this.

    Hi Dr. Rose, I have the Jabra aids (from Costco). Looks pretty much the same. I’ve had them for over a year now and I love them. What a difference aids make. Thank you for confirming my thoughts about the removal of the aids. I may be fussy, but I think it’s better to pull the aids out by the retaining wire. That way there’s no strain on the connections. I prefer to clean my aids in the morning or after they’ve been out of my ear for a while because they are dryer. This way the wax flakes off rather than smearing.😊 Yes, wax flakes are around the inside of my case, but they’re not hard to clean with the tip of my finger. (My case has a chamber to hold the earpiece.) BTW, I liked your demonstration of the retaining wire. I didn’t think they would be effective, but you showed that they are. I had been asked by the technician whether I wanted them or not. I told him that I bicycle so he suggested I get them. I can see that was a good idea. Strange thing, I actually had the wire break off the band that attaches it to the aid. My nails must be too long and sharp. Early on I had lost the attachment band completely. I don’t know how that happened. Also early on, one of my hoods tore.

      By the way, your production is excellent, especially considering that you’re just using your phone(?).

    Husband purchased HAs direct from Jabra. Mom purchased Jabra HAs from Costco. Both have Multi Mic, use it in horizontal Table mode near TV. Husband’s app sees MM as a profile. He can adjust how much sound comes from MM vs from surroundings. (So he can still hear me talk sitting next to him on couch while MM is placed right by the TV.). Mom, using Costco version of app, can’t make a similar adjustment. Sound is 100% from MM, she can’t hear if someone in the room talks, can only hear TV. The Costco/Jabra app sees the Multi Mic as an accessory that is either on or off. It doesn’t see it as a Program with adjustment options. Anyone know how to get that option, to hear more of the surrounding room, in the Costco/Jabra app?

      @DrRoseHelpsYouHear Do you have any familiarity with this?

      There should be a way to adjust this in the app, she may need a firmware update. Make an appointment at Costco and make sure you get someone who has programmed Resound before.
