Rachel Cook, Audiology Doctor ... always informative, enthusiastic, and charismatic. Happy human being ...
Excellent video! Great explanation of background noise difficulty.
Very Informative.... Thank You ❤️
Listening to you with captions is like auditory training lol.
Very informative!
I'm definitely going to try this! Thanks, Rachael! I'll see you next month and let you know how it goes. 🙂
This is informative and useful; I hadn't heard about auditory training programs. 👍👍
Thank you. I am enjoying listening to your vlogs. You and Dr Cliff are great supporters of HOH people.
My training is probably listening to youtube videos in a languge wich not is my first. Thank you for all valuble information on this chanel.
A great idea!
So much work and it’s not easy for aging person or people with severe to
Profound loss. But it worth a try. This is what new cochlear wearers are required to do.
What are names of the applications you mentioned on phone?
This is advertising your program which I have mistaken there would be at least one simple sharing on how to improve hearing. Thanks for the video
Great video 😊
great video
Great information, thanks. I'm about to get Phonak Paradise HA with Roger On and this will help a lot. Retired, Age 71, many hours spent in silence or quiet environments seems to diminish hearing ability. Sometimes the brain has a small latency in figuring out what was said even though you heard it. Good to know there are applications to help.
You are right on track. There are most definitely applications to help with your transition into amplification!
When I first got digital hearing aids the amount of background noise terrified me. Y'all live in a noisy world. Sometimes I take them out and enjoy the silence.
Can feel you 👍
I agree. There's a lot to be said for silence … when it's your choice.
Any specific tips for bimodal hearing My CI will be turned on 11/30 and for now I have a ReSound One 7 will get an Omnia by the of the year. Custom mold. Thanks Dr Rachel. IaL&D nurse and masks make everything harder
Timing is everything. I've only been using HA for 2 months, Phonak Lumity Life series 90. But my experience this past Saturday in a restaurant with moderate background noise was horrendously bad. I simply could not understand the people at my table no matter what program I tried even with Beam Forming. My reverse slope hearing loss was winning (severe low frequency loss and mild to mod. high frequency loss) . Until I tried an experiment. I removed my HA. The background noise dropped and I was able to hear the conversations much better. I did this 3 additional times to confirm and it worked all 3 times. I repeated the procedure the next day in a noisy convention center and again removing my HA helped me hear the close in conversations better. I believe my HA are programmed correctly as my AUD is in your network. But we will be discussing this in detail next week at my appointment. This was very discouraging. I do know he planned on putting my in the booth for additional testing. Should be interesting. Thanks for great content:)
There are some places that just have terrible acoustics!
@@elizabethwhiteau.d.6189 Apparently, Restaurants! But how common or not, that I would do better in that environment by removing my HA??
The links are not blue/not connected.
Thanks for the information, and you are pleasant to listen to. I will try an app now!
Thank you, this has been fixed!
Could this training help with hyperacusis too ?
I have hearing aids thanks to videos from Dr. Cliff. I will look into auditory training, However, there is one environment where NOTHING helps me. A totally enclosed concrete walls, ceiling, and tile floors with noise. The room was not large enough for an echo. But, similar to a reverb. My hearing aids seemed to be zero assistance.
I live in Mexico half the year, 8 hours south of Phoenix. Construction is primarily concrete and tile. Of course, no sound deadening at all.
I tend to only wear my hearing aids if I expect to be in challenging auditory situations - like restaurants, group meetings, brew pubs.
Do you think that auditory training would be of significant help in the Most challenging auditory environments? Or, would I be better off with a bluetooth microphone device that I place near the person I wish to hear?
If you only wear your hearing aids in challenging environments, they will continue to be challenging! Your brain has to adapt to these sounds again through exposure. Quiet and calm environments allow for a level of control over the sounds. Think of it like running a marathon - gotta walk before you run! Otherwise, you run and run and burn out quickly, get super sore, and think running isn't for you. Very similar with hearing aids. Start with the easy environments and work your way up to the harder ones!
I have tinnitus and have trouble hearing in noisy environments. I went to an Audioilogist where she gave me a Cadillac quality hearing aid to wear for 3 weeks. Wearing it would train the brain to filter out the noise. About a week in, my wife and I went to a house party and I thought, oh good now I can really put it to the test. I downloaded the app for the devise and I could save settings depending on the environment. ie: a bar, restaurant, gym etc. So, got to the party hoping for at least some improvement. None. Went to a restaurant after another week and the same result. There is not a hearing aid out there that will discern the difference between background noise and the voices of people that you want to hear.
I expected the devise to, at the very least meet my hearing needs half way. It was nowhere near. I was then expected to believe that my "trained" brain would pick up the slack. Hmm! I'd love to know the percentage of those with these expensive hearing aids especially the elderly who suffer in silence, too embarrassed to admit that maybe their brain isn't learning or who won't speak up and call out this training nonsense.
Tinnitus sufferers need a hearing aid that will cancel noise, ie eliminate high background noise frequencies and knows enough to boost the voice of the person speaking to you. Some of these hearing apps for your phone are really good all except for the delay in recieving the signal which can be annoying. Collectively you need to get it into your heads that who cares if the volume is louder as long as the noise is gone. We're old and we want to hear. How difficult can that be?
I’d love a short video explaining decibels. What is a dB?
Dr. Rachael This is great information on something new I had no knowledge off! I just repeat what I commented earlier. Dr. Cliff need to raise your salary and add more vacation days! Dr. Rachael has proven she is able and competent to start her own RUclips channel. Again great job!
Dr. Cook. Add a high pass filter to the speech channel/bus of your audio mixing software to get rid of some of the annoying rumble that is audible in the background.
Wouldn't a low freq rumble filter be more appropriate? Or better yet, figure out what's causing the rumble and eliminate it at its source
The clEAR game app link is not working. I suspect it's no longer available
Decreased Frequency from ear infection. In my case low end frequency sound muffled in my left ear. Fluid during infection perforated the ear drum in the process. its been a week since my ear healed from infection but, hearing hasn't restored yet. Age 39(m) I am.
I’m happy that you talked about auditory training but would have preferred you rate auditory programs or discussed them more. Hard to know how to find them
Can you add links to the research studies you mentioned?
Lol, this video has a lot of background noise as well! 😂 (sounds like HVAC) (at least the beginning)
The link for clEAR does not work
Thank you, this has been fixed!
You nailed the problems with "modern design" for people with poor hearing: hard floors, open ceilings, open kitchens, loud background music. Argh!
You talk too fast, which makes it difficult to know what you're saying. I wear hearing aids and am a senior citizen. Please slow down, the owner of the clinic is easy to understand,
There's an option to slow the video on RUclips
Ok! I just won't watch the videos you do. Continue to watch the owner's videos.
@@1951alan you say “I will not listen to YOUR videos.” Do you realize that was NOT the lady audiologist that answered you? Just another viewer
You can select .75 speed
Waiting for fx 322
Fx 345 is also there but they are in trial phase, I am afraid that they will take year or more for this...
@@merajdin5860 better late than never
Yup but it seems too late for me 😐 hearing aid proves frustration and ear surgery is too risky 🤷
@@merajdin5860 yes me too actually,
@@merajdin5860 when it may come to market bro ?? Any news??
AI to the rescue...Now where are the products???
Waste of time
