How do kids handle being bullied about hearing aids?

Minors can be mean and nasty by teasing someone that is either wearing glasses; hearing aid or braces on their teeth. For years children who wore glasses were called 'four eyes.' Children who need hearing aids should ignore the kids who are bullying them and eventually they will find someone else to pick on. You must keep in your mind that there are thousands of young people who have to wear a hearing aid. The hearing aids of today are so small that it is difficult to see them unless you choose to tell someone you are wearing a hearing aid. For now ignore them and eventually the bullying will stop.


Why was the hearing aid invented?

The first hearing aids were made in the 1500s out of wood so nobody really knows who invented them. They looked like the human ear.

Can I filter out the sounds I do not wish to amplify while wearing a hearing aid?

Some hearing aids have advanced features that can compensate for this, but unfortunately it is just something you have to get used to. The brain naturally filters out unwanted sounds, and after a period of deafness this ability is reduced. When you start to wear a hearing aid you will need to develop this ability again.

Does not wearing a hearing aid accelerate an already known hearing loss?

Hearing aid use will not accelerate or decelerate your hearing loss, but wearing a hearing aid may keep your brain's speech interpretation ability sharp. The prescription you have for your hearing (called an audiogram) is a representation of how well your ear picks up the sounds around you so that they can be sent to the brain. If you have a hearing loss, it will be represented in the audiogram. If you have a hearing loss but do not wear hearing aids for it, the brain will not get all of the sounds that are necessary to interpret speech. The longer you go without hearing these sounds, the more synapses in the brain will weaken and die from disuse. It's the ear's version of the "use it or loose it" effect. The longer you wait to get a hearing aid, the more difficult it will be for your brain to adjust to one. Even though your audiogram may or may not change over time, without a hearing aid, your understanding ability may well worsen. Additionally, many studies have shown that even a mild untreated hearing loss contributes to dementia. If you need hearing aids, they will help more than your day to day hearing - they will prevent your brain from weakening as well.
