Hearing Aids

Lydia B asked:


obviously nowadays young people listen to loud music for long periods of time (me included) and we are damaging our hearing. when the loud noise damages or kills some of the cells in the ears how do hearing aids work to improve hearing?

are scientists developing anything better? in a few years there are going to be so many more people needing hearing aids so how are they doing with new technology/science on that, do we know?

thanks

I have an elderly patient that is having trouble hearing. He has expressed to me that he can not afford hearing aids with his financial budget. He is asking me if I can help him find free hearing aids.

I know that there are charities, and community services out there, but I am having trouble locating them. I have even emailed the city, with no response. Can you help?

I have written two senators and got form replies that didn’t answer this question. It seems to me, hearing loss is , if not the number one problem seniors have, it’s pretty high up on the list. Good hearing aids are expensive.
If medicare will pay for motorized wheel chairs, why not at least pay for part of the cost of hearing aids?

I wear cic hearing aids and would like to find something other than huge headsets. A few days ago I saw a man with headphones that were like a mini speaker that pointed into his hearing aids. They wrapped around the ear, and at first glance looked like normal earphones. Does anyone know anything about these, or have any ideas?
