What is Hearing Aid Use?

A hearing aid is a small electronic device that you wear in or behind your ear. It makes some sounds louder so that a person with hearing loss can listen, communicate, and participate more fully in daily activities

Headaches can be expected for the first few weeks of wearing new hearing aids. This is because there is a sudden influx of new sounds in your ears, and even familiar sounds are much louder than you're used to

Sensorineural hearing loss can be caused by virus or bacteria, noise, injury, infection, aging, certain medications, birth defects, tumors, problems with blood circulation or high blood pressure, and stroke. Hearing aids are electronic, battery-operated devices that can amplify and change sound.

Participants with self-reported hearing loss were included. The primary outcome was hearing aid use. Factors potentially associated with hearing aid use included: sociodemographics, health determinants, access to care, patient activation, and technology access/use.

  • Manage your blood pressure and cardiac health.
  • Stop smoking and vaping, and limit drinking.
  • Keep diabetes under control.
  • Exercise and practice stress reduction.
  • Eat foods high in certain vitamins and minerals.
  • Know your family history.
  • Be aware of drugs that cause hearing loss.
