SOUL by HANSATON: The optimum solution for tinnitus and loss of hearing.

HANSATON SOUL stands for improvement of hearing and reduction of tinnitus in one system. Since with an accompanying hearing loss tinnitus mostly originates in the area of reduced hearing SOUL combines two functions.

How can we help?

You may recognize the situation - during a family conversation a loved one smiles and nods, pretending to understand what is being said, but doesn't really have a clue because of a hearing loss. Then, when a professional consultation is recommended, this advice is often rebuffed with a remark such as, “I don't really have hearing trouble; it's just that nobody speaks as clearly as they used to”.
Even if you aren’t entirely sure that someone close to you is suffering from hearing loss, it is well worth finding out for sure. So how do you persuade someone with a hearing loss to make an appointment with an audiologist or dispenser? Particularly if we refuse to admit experiencing problems?

Often, the problem is one of embarrassment

First, it is important to understand why people are generally reluctant to seek help. Often, the problem is one of embarrassment – for some, hearing difficulties are a sign of approaching old age, or (particularly in the case of male sufferers) they may be afraid to show signs of “weakness”. At the same time, we may already have given up attempting to participate fully in conversations and have found a form of safety in partial withdrawal from their surroundings. In this case, agreeing to tackle the problem may be seen as far too challenging. Older people, in particular, are often reluctant to make what many consider being a major investment at such a late stage in life.
As you can see, getting people to visit a hearing care professional can be very difficult. Why not offer to make an appointment with a dispenser or audiologist and even go along to the meeting with us. Or you can alert your family physician to the problem and have us discuss it with the person at the next appointment. You can also try having someone else who wears a hearing instrument bring up the subject and talk about their experiences with hearing loss and their instruments.
Depending on the situation – and the person concerned – some have even found it useful to gather information on the symptoms of hearing loss and leave us lying around on a table or somewhere where they can be noticed.

Call a hearing care professional

If you have tried these methods and are still having difficulties, please call us – Audiotone  Hearing Aid Center and discuss the problem with us. You will most likely find that we have faced your situation many times in the past and can offer a great deal of helpful advice.

Digital Hearing Instruments

A digital hearing instrument contains an actual computer, or microprocessor. Digital hearing instruments convert incoming sounds into digital code, manipulate the code to suit the user, and re-convert the code into sound.

An advancement for two reasons

Broadly speaking, digital hearing instruments are considered an advancement in hearing technology for two reasons.
The first is sound quality. Users often report an improvement in sharpness and clarity compared to non-digital instruments, like hearing a recording on CD instead of tape.
The second reason is versatility. By turning sound into language a computer can understand, digital technology makes it possible to use computers to tailor sound in ways otherwise impossible.

Distinguishes between types of sounds

Today's digital hearing instruments can distinguish between types of sounds based on their modulation. Low-modulation (monotonous) sounds, such as motors, fans, or the babble of many voices, can receive less amplification than high-modulation sounds, such as a single speaking voice.

What is a Hearing Instrument?

At the most basic level, a hearing instrument is a miniature sound amplifier. It receives sounds through a microphone, converts them to electrical impulses, amplifies the impulses, and converts them back into sound.

Different kinds of hearing losses

But if a hearing instrument were to do only that, it would be of very limited use. It would simply amplify all incoming sounds equally. This would be ineffective, because all hearing losses are different. Some people lose hearing in the high frequencies, some in the middle or low frequencies - hearing loss patterns are as unique as thumbprints. People with hearing loss also have widely varying comfort levels when it comes to the loudness of various sounds.
That's why a hearing instrument must be highly selective in how it amplifies sound for its user.

Digitally programmable instruments

Today, the most advanced hearing instruments use digital technology. Hearing test results are fed into a computer, and the hearing care professional uses the computer to adjust the hearing instrument for the user's particular needs. These hearing instruments are called "digitally programmable."

Fully digital instruments

Even more advanced are the new generations of instruments called "fully digital" or simply "digital." Not only are these instruments fine-tuned by a computer, they actually contain a computer - a tiny microprocessor with enormous processing power.
Digital hearing instruments convert sounds into digital code, manipulate the code according to the user's needs, and re-convert it into sound. Not only does this provide "CD" sound quality, it also opens the door to sound processing capabilities that were impossible before.

Signs of Hearing Loss

Many people have a difficult time believing, or accepting, that they have a hearing loss. Part of the reason is that hearing loss often occurs gradually, and it's not always easy to notice at first. Often, people discover their hearing loss from the reactions of others.
The following questions may help you decide whether you should have your hearing tested:

* Do you frequently ask for words to be repeated?

If you answered yes to any these questions, you may have a hearing problem. Answering yes to several of the questions, suggests that it might be time to have your hearing tested by a hearing care professional.

* Do you often turn up the television or radio louder than others like?

* Does speech sound muffled to you, or do people sound as though they're mumbling when they speak to you?

* Do you have ringing in your ears?

* Do you have trouble hearing over the telephone?

* Do you find it difficult to follow a conversation in a noisy restaurant or crowded room?

* Have you had any significant noise exposure at work?

* Do you find men's voices easier to understand than women's?

* Does a hearing problem cause you to feel embarrassed when meeting new people?

* Does a hearing problem cause you to visit friends, relatives, or neighbors less often than you would like?

* Does a hearing problem cause you to talk to family members less often than you would like?

* Does a hearing problem cause you to feel depressed?
