The Silent Sickness - Dealing With Hearing Loss

By Hedrick Lepsch


When you find yourself with a hearing loss, you must first acknowledge its existence and then work with others to maintain a normal life. It can be difficult, but this step will help you to make the most of what you have, instead of ignoring your difficulties. Remember that your hearing loss will certainly be a difficult thing to overcome, but that you are not alone. By finding the support you need, you will be able to make the most of your condition and live your life to the fullest.

This is the first research to come out to show that auditory hair cells can be regrown. "It is possible to regenerate hair cells, and that's something that had not been possible before," said Albert Edge of Harvard Medical School, who led the study.

Dad and Aunt Sally are talking a little loudly, trying to hear each other over the ruckus of the band and other noises. Aunt Sally wants to pay the dinner bill, but of course, her stubborn brother will have none of it. The people at the next table glance over occasionally to see the progression of their rather loud argument.

The new drug LY411575 works by blocking Notch, the protein that prevents neighboring cells, called supporting cells, from turning into sensory hair cells. With the inhibiting protein out of the way, the supporting cells are free to transform themselves into the tiny hairs so vital for our hearing.

Right here at one table, we see the dissection of American hearing loss. Exempting the handful of young that struggle with hearing loss from birth or accidents, we can see the subtle digression of hearing through the generations. Young children like Emily can hear everything - and sometimes they get a little wired by the overstimulation. Youth closer to Jill's age still have quite the in-tune capabilities to hear whispered conversations over cell phones - which always make hearing harder.

And in turn, make sure that they try to speak clearly and at a good volume (not shouting) They should also keep their mouth visible and be patient as you converse. This will ensure that you will both have the best communication possible. Tips for the Person with Hearing Loss to Communicate with Hearing People
