Congenital Hearing Loss

While it seems like mask-wearing is becoming more widespread in the area, it is impacting some people's way of communicating. That’s why “communicator masks” are now being made. A person with hearing impairment can get up to 30% of their speech understanding through lip-reading, so when everyone started wearing masks because of the pandemic, it became an issue of communication for them. Vanessa Lee, owner of Auglaize Audiology in Wapakoneta, has been making her own “communicator masks” for herself and her employees in preparation for the office to open back up. She says that the mask is good for more than just communicating with words. “I had this mask on and they were like ‘wow, I can still see your face, I can still see your smile,’" says Lee. "And so it is a good way to communicate, not just with spoken language, but just with a smile because I think we’re all kind of missing that.” Lee says that she hand-makes the masks herself, an...

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has recommended that all Americans wear face coverings when in public. Hospitals across the country are assuming everyone who walks through the door is a potential COVID-19 case, so are requiring patients to wear a mask and come alone. These changes pose potential communication problems for about 60 million Americans who are living with hearing loss, ranging from mild trouble to severe loss or deafness in one or both ears. The vast majority of people with hearing loss have never had a hearing test and do not use hearing aids, especially in populations affected by health disparities. For example, only an estimated 5% of Hispanic/Latino adults with hearing loss use hearing aids. Along with my audiology and public health colleagues from the Hispanic Hearing Healthcare Access Coalition, we strongly recommend that communities take special measures to stay connected with the hard-of-hearing at this time. Mask wearing and social distancing pres...

29 Apr 2020 08:50 Written by Bob Kirkpatrick Trinya Murray, office manager at the Hearing Advancement Center is wearing a prototype see-through face mask that will allow the hearing impaired to read the lips of people they are communicating with. The social distancing guidelines and the wearing of face masks brought about by the COVID-19 crisis are considered a favorable means to reduce the spread of the virus. But they have also become somewhat of a hindrance to those of the non-hearing world. “The widespread use of masks makes it even more difficult for hearing impaired individuals to communicate,” said Sharon Christen, who is a doctor of audiology at the Woodinville Hearing Advancement Center. “The more difficulty a person has hearing the more they rely on facial cues to fill in the blanks they don't hear clearly.” Christen said the masks also inhibit the understanding of speech to people in both worlds. “All of us, whether we realize it or not, read lips at least p...

April was a month of recovery as our local share market enjoyed its first monthly gain since COVID-19 struck in February. Just as further proof of the grip the virus has on global economies, today's bullish sentiment comes on the back of some more hopeful news from Gilead Science's COVID-19 antiviral treatment .

People wearing face masks poses new challenges for those already living with communication challenges.Dr. Caroline Zuck, audiologist, at the Savannah Speech and Hearing Center says one of challenges folks in the deaf and hearing impaired community are trying to overcome is how the face masks are making communication more challenging. Dr. Zuck says many people in the deaf or hearing impaired community rely heavily on social cues like facial expressions or lip reading, and wearing a face mask hides those actions. As well as filter out the sounds the deaf and hearing impaired depend on when communicating with others.Another challenge is sign language; Dr. Zuck says it can also be difficult for folks as we try to practice social distancing guidelines. “Something as easy as going to the grocery store and you want to go up and order something from the deli--the person working there has the masks, you have the masks, and it’s harder as well because people are distancing. It’s all necessary b...

Courtesy of Brianne Burger The new norms of the coronavirus era — wearing face masks, maintaining social distance and conducting conversations through teleconference software — have made life more complicated for most Americans. But for the deaf and hard-of-hearing, they have transformed every day tasks into technological labyrinths, and exposed a number of inequities in local health and government systems. One of the most well-documented pandemic challenges is communicating through face-obscuring masks. The masks make it impossible for people who read lips to see people's mouths or follow facial expressions during essential trips to the grocery store or docto...

It’s the little things that mean so much sometimes. Whether it’s the air conditioner cycling on and off, a bump in the night, the cooing of grandbabies or just the wind blowing, little sounds have made a big difference for Celia Maloy over the past year. “My life is enriched, let me put it that way,” the 72-year-old Level Plains resident said. “It’s very much enriched since I’ve been able to hear.” Maloy was one of five winners in last year’s hearing aid contest sponsored by Physicians Hearing Center and held in conjunction with the Dothan Eagle. The contest has been held annually for about 20 years. The 2020 contest is underway with essays accepted by mail or email until May 8. The winner or winners will receive free hearing aids. For Maloy, the pair of devices has changed her life. A hairdresser for 42 years, Maloy’s hearing suffered from the constant salon noises such as hair dryers. An illness in 2016 made the loss even more pronounced and more difficult for Maloy to afford ...

While sheltering in place is helping protect people from COVID-19, it may be raising their risk of noise-induced hearing loss as families turn the volume up on their devices to escape the news or conduct their business via loud conference calls.  That makes Michigan Medicine audiologist Allie Heckman, AuD , long for the days when she only had to prepare her 3-year-old for noise overload at sporting events or loud restaurants, using traditional, over the ears, headphones to protect her. “It’s never too early for a child to wear it because we live in a noisier world than we realize,” Heckman says. In this age of abundant earbud and headphone use, it’s a message that needs to be heeded more, particularly during an unprecedented time of media usage. And Michigan Medicine hearing experts are seeing an uptick in patients experiencing hearing loss at a younger age. “Many of them are teenagers, but yet, noise induced hearing loss is 100% completely preventable,” Heckman says. And ad...
