He will ask for a conversation to be repeated only once and then just nods. Frustrated that he is not able to participate, often he will just go to bed. He is a great family man and this is hard for all the family to watch.” The daughter of Dilbert Neitzel, a World War II Veteran, recalling her father’s daily reality before he passed away earlier this year.This is a familiar reality for thousands of our veterans –...
Researchers identify potential hearing loss
Posted by CENTURY HEARING
Published July 14, 2015FoxNews.com Researchers at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine have found that an increased number of connections between certain sensory cells and nerve cells in the inner ear may contribute to age-related hearing loss.In a study published in The Journal of Neuroscience, researchers noted their findings on mice subjects challenge the conventional wisdom that dying sensory hair cells in the inner ear are almost entirely to blame for age-related hearing loss. Instead, they found an increased number of connections between certain sensory cells and nerve cells— which normally tamp down hearing when an animal is exposed to...
Hearing loss common for farmers

Source: Leader-Telegram Author Elizabeth Dohms - Dudley Smith, a conservationist farmer near Augusta, suffers with some hearing loss that he attributes to operating loud machinery, in addition to driving cabless tractors and being exposed to screeching pigs when he was younger.

Moser wrote an article accompanying the mouse study.The new study is...

You'll fine-tune hearing aids yourself
Posted by CENTURY HEARING
Hearing aids are supposed to help you resume a normal life, but they sometimes make things worse -- and when most clinics aren't prepared to calibrate the devices, it's tempting to ditch them altogether. Norwegian scientists might give you an incentive to keep those earpieces in place, though. They've developed a touchscreen-based tuning system that lets you customize hearing aids largely by yourself. The technology asks you to pick a typical sound scenario (such as a busy office) and introduce extra effects until it replicates the situations where you have problems. After that, an audiometrist only has to adjust the...
