AUDIOLOGY Q: T have severe hearing loss and have worn hearing aids for years. I have started to feel that even with my hearing aids in as loud as they can go, I can't understand when people are talking to me. Would a new hearing aid help, or are there other options? A: The first thing to do would be to see your audiologist for an updated hearing test. Some clinics can test you with your hearing aids in to determine how well you can repeat words and sentences. This helps us determine if new hearing aids may benefit you. If it is found they would not, your audiologist may introduce a new type of device called a Cochlear mplant. This is the next step when hearing aids are not enough. If you would like to learn more about Cochlear Implants, myself and the Cochlear Americas team will be providing a free Hearing Health Seminar at the Bemidji Public Library on October 22 from 3:00-4:30PM.
