Hearing Works
How we hear involves a complex system leading from the inner workings of the ear to the brain.
- Sound is fist transmitted through the air as sound waves. The sound waves are collected by the outer ear and sent down the ear canal to the eardrum.
- The sound waves cause the eardrum to vibrate, causing the tiny bones in the middle ear to move.
- The motion of these tiny bones causes fluid in the inner ear (cochlea) to move.
- The movement of this fluid in the inner ear causes the hair cells in the cochlea to bend and change into electrical impulses.
- These electrical impulses are transmitted to the hearing nerve and sent to the brain where they are interpreted into sound.
Brain Health
To keep your brain active and healthy it’s important to manage the signs of hearing loss right away. If you suspect you have a hearing impairment, it’s important to schedule a hearing check. We can evaluate your hearing and go over treatment options, including hearing aids. Hearing aids will provide your brain with the sounds it has been missing, so you can hear better and feel confident joining the conversation again.
Hearing Loss
Many people experience hearing loss in both ears; however, it is possible to have hearing loss in one ear. Regardless, it is important to identify the signs of hearing loss right away, so you can be proactive. Some common signs of hearing loss include:
- Sounds seem muffled
- You have a hard time hearing when there is background noise
- You can hear but you lack clarity
- Women and children’s voices are harder to understand
- You hear a ringing in your ears (tinnitus)
