TAKE HOME GOOD NEWS TO CELEBRATE ‘WORLD HEART DAY

On ‘World Heart Day’ today, one is reminded that research in cardiac field and Hearing Aids has enjoyed paramount success in field of Medicine. With availability of sophisticated Hearing Aids gone are the days for a congenitally deaf child to attend School for ‘Deaf & Dumb’ (they are now able to attend a normal School) on one hand ; on the other hand a post cardiac surgery case is seen completing a marathon.

Cardiologists look after patients with heart anomaly and an Audiologists are super-specialized professionals who look after individuals having hearing difficulty; the way you have a cardiogram you have an audiogram as a graph of hearing acuity.

Being one of the senior most private practicing audiologist in India & dealing with top 8 -10 global manufacturers (multi-nationals, directly participating in India under FDI), until very recent times myself and other audiologists were not able to fit a sophisticated, digital, computerized, invisible hearing aids for cardiac patients who use “Pace Maker”; as electro-magnetic field created by hearing aid usage caused interference in working of ‘Pace Maker’. With Advanced research, Denmark based Resound Co. has launched wireless hearing aids that are compatible with the band width of Pace Maker having 2.4 GHz that matches ISM values ( the Industrial, Scientific & Medical Radio Band). Thus offering quality life to those who are using Pace Maker and are in need of hearing aids.

My 45 years of practice observes that choosing a ‘Hearing Aid’ is far more complex than choosing specs as complex technologies to reduce ambient noise, neutralize feedback sound, remove an echo, increase clarity of speech sounds, learn about direction of sound, hear very soft as well as very loud sounds with ease & comfort, take care of cosmetic looks etc are involved. Apt selection invariably brings comfort & clarity of sound to the user.

Cardiac patients take home message for selecting hearing aid a) As per Govt. of India -RCI ACT 1992 – only and only “Audiologists” are eligible to dispense hearings aids – consult an audiologist for procuring hearing aids b) Be aware of illegal practice of non-audiologists who come home & do the fitting c) Choose an audiologist that keeps more than 2-3 Co.’s hearing aids for you to select from d) Always wear hearing aids on both ears, divide your budget accordingly d) Never get hearing aids from a company representative as they may convince you to go for a model that does not match your audiogram or your cosmetic needs, plus most of them do not have medical qualification to either understand the subject or to be able to counsel e) To reduce the adaptation time & cost of hearings aid start wearing hearing aids as soon as the hearing loss sets in.
