Partial hearing loss

2020-01-01 17:47:28
Hi.. one of my relative is suffering from partial hearing loss in both the ears. She cannot hear anything clearly spoken from a distance from back. On checkup doctor has prescribed hearing aid. But that is also not helpful since on wearing them, it is causing severe headache. Could you please suggest as this is causing extreme discomfort in daily life

All hearing aids are not the same. You need the services of a good audiologist to first get the right type of hearing aid. Then you need a skilled audiologist to custom fit it to your ears. Finally you need the audiologist to accurately program the hearing aid to exactly match your hearing loss pattern.
