CeceliaI remember the first time I listened to stereo music with earphones. It was a somewhat magical experience with my young ears at the time. FM radio was filled with the novel experience.Over the years, I’ve stopped noticing that stereo separation as much. Has modern music moved away from widely diverging stereo tracks or have I just not noticed while spending the last several years with one ear having less hearing?I’m currently listening to a Superman track with both my ears working the same for now, and it’s maybe a little thrilling to feel like I’m in the music.<a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/StereoMusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#StereoMusic</a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Aging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Aging</a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Music</a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/HearingLoss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HearingLoss</a>

FishercatThe Cognitive Load of Hearing LossMy hearing has been getting noticeably worse over the past 10 years. Something clicked when I learned that hearing loss increases cognitive load.When I can't hear all the sounds in speech, my brain pattern matches, as brains do, to fill in the blanks. The cognitive load from needing to fill in the blanks has increased as my hearing has deteriorated.There's also socially navigating the issue. Every time I have trouble hearing what someone's saying, there are split-second decisions to make about what to do:* Indicate I couldn't hear, and: - decline repetition - request repetition - by repeating what I did hear - vocalize missed sound placeholders, Y/N - if yes, how - without repeating what I heard - listen closely & try to process everything - be frustrated by repetition of what I did hear - if repetition fails, decision queue restarts until I understand, or - tire of trying repeated attempts to to process the same information, decline further attempts and try to move on with the conversation * Pretend I heard/processed - Nod and smile - Make noncommittal social noisesI have to choose among those options *every single time* I didn't accurately hear and process what someone said. I also have to deal with my own and conversation partners' frustration with needing multiple attempts before I'm able to process what they're trying to tell me.I am REALLY looking forward to getting my hearing aids.<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HearingLoss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HearingLoss</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MentalHealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MentalHealth</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SocialSkills" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SocialSkills</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Burnout" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Burnout</a>

JonPhew! Back in my regular hearing aids and life is good. I did luck out with the loaners that they gave me. High end and brand new, they were probably the best that I could hope for in the interim while mine were being fixed. But they sounded tinny to me, they didn't really fit my ears, and the tinnitus was much worse.When I picked mine up and put them in today, I could feel my whole body relax! <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/HearingLoss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HearingLoss</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/HearingAids" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HearingAids</a>

Mike 🇬🇧 🇪🇺Don't forget that there are well validated studies that show a link between uncorrected hearing loss and dementia<a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/hearingLoss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#hearingLoss</a> <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/dementia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#dementia</a>

Mike 🇬🇧 🇪🇺Even moderate hearing loss is very odd. It's not until I stick my hearing aids in that I realise how much I'm missing out on - mostly birdsong, but also little household noises. My hearing aids sometimes feel like a lot of bother, almost a cruel imposition, but the benefits are immense.Get your hearing checked - you may not know what you are missing.

They are not meant to do this, but frequent comments from around the country show it's a common tactic.Basic NHS aids (ussually Oticon Engage devices) are fine for most people - and the batteries, spares & servicing are all free from the NHS unlike the private (expensive) devices.Private hearing aids are often less noticable as they can be 'in the ear' devices and they can have more functions which some people like, but others find confusing.I've been happily using NHS aids for a lot of years and have no issues with them.(Note that with Heaing Aids you are entitled to a Disabled Persons Railcard)<a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/hearingaids" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#hearingaids</a> <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/hearingloss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#hearingloss</a>

Mike 🇬🇧 🇪🇺I've given up trying get the ASHA function on my phone to play nicely with my hearing aids. So, I've bought a tiny device that connects my hearing aids to my phone by Bluetooth - and it's amazing. It also works as a directional microphone to supplement my hearing aids. Not cheap, but it looks like a game changer for me.Oticon ConnectClip<a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/hearingloss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#hearingloss</a> <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/HearingAids" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HearingAids</a> <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/bluetooth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bluetooth</a> <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/oticon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#oticon</a>

Tanya McGee Wheatley 💜🥰Good night! <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/3GoodThings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#3GoodThings</a> 1. Learned today I have mild, mid-range hearing loss which is not bad enough to need hearing aids. I do need to pay attention to it because it will worsen over time. 2. Closed all my fitness rings today and got my 10,000 steps in even though we spent a couple hours at the audiologist. 3. Hubs placed the order for resistance bands and a Sunny Health and Fitness smart twist stepper. The bands will be delivered tomorrow so that will give us another source of fitness! Sleep well and may your dreams be out of this world. 🤗🫶❤️🫂 <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/GoodNight" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GoodNight</a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/HearingLoss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HearingLoss</a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/Fitness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Fitness</a>

Mike 🇬🇧 🇪🇺I'm not very good at remembering to use my hearing aids when we're at home. But, it is astonishing how much bird song I'm missing out on. Without them, it's just the distant rumble of the motorway, but with them the birds predominant, and the motorway is a bit less noticeable.<a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/hearingAids" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#hearingAids</a> <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/hearingLoss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#hearingLoss</a> <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/hearing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#hearing</a>

Aaron OldenburgThe song most responsible for any hearing loss I've experienced in my car: Omar Souleyman's Alkhatiba Zaffouha (first 5 min of this <a href="https://youtu.be/K99NspAfqiA?si=mmXRk7YtaGWsxvxW" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/K99NspAfqiA?si=mmXRk7YtaGWsxvxW</a>). It begs to be listened to at maximum volume, but the higher frequencies are truly piercing and painful. Part of that might be due to the style, but I also think the live recording, itself, is out of balance. <a href="https://c.im/tags/syria" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#syria</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/westasia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#westasia</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/hearingloss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#hearingloss</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#music</a>
