Why are hearing aids not acceptable as easily as spectacles? Our eyes are our windows to the world. Vision impairment can vary from blurred foggy vision to almost blindness. The impact it has on our day-to-day activities is tremendous! These can be corrected by using appropriate contact lenses or glasses. It is almost as if putting the right lens in front of their eyes brings back the twinkle in their eyes!! People are happy once they are able to enjoy the wonders of the world again!! Additionally, it adds to a fashion as well a nerdy effect too!! What happens with our other sense organ, our ears? The most commonly seen effect seen is hearing loss. Most often the solution provided is of hearing aids. The moment a person hears the word hearing aids, they think of these loud bulky things that nobody wants to use. What one fails to understand is that our human hearing system is a mechanical-electrical system! What mere use of lenses helps the eyes immediately, our ears cannot adjust immediately to the sound from hearing aids. The latest models of hearing aids do try to mimic the human ear as much as possible but it needs a lot of adjustment from the person suffering from hearing loss. The comparison between these two sensory systems is unwanted as both systems have different styles of working. Hearing aids as an option for better quality of life needs to be encouraged and popularized. Audiologists are qualified professionals who have knowledge about the intricate working of our hearing system as well as hearing aids.
