Hearing loss and Hearing Aids: Why is hearing loss one of the most underreported and under-treated disorders in adults?

Over 34 million people in the U.S. suffer from hearing loss, yet only about 15% seek treatment. Hearing loss is one of the most underreported and under-treated disorders in adults. In this video, Dr. Wade Zarella, an audiologist with the Hearing Institute, discusses why people “put off” considering hearing aids to treat hearing loss.

Hearing Loss and Hearing Aids: How do you know when you are “ready” for hearing aids?

Evaluating whether to consider hearing aids involves a lot more than simply analyzing the degree of hearing loss. One may be a great “audiological” candidate based on their hearing loss, but be a poor “psychological” candidate. In this video, Dr. Wade Zarella, an audiologist with the Hearing Institute, discusses the factors that make someone a good candidate for “success” with hearing aids.

Hearing Loss and Hearing aids: Recent advances in hearing aid technology (part 1)

Audiologist, Dr. Wade Zarella of the Hearing Institute, describes the numerous advantages of Receiver in the Ear (R.I.T.E) technology (a device with the speaker in the ear and the rest on top of the ear). He also describes auto switching circuitry and the new binaural wireless processing technology available in many of the best hearing aids today. (2012)

Hearing Loss and Hearing Aids: Recent advances in hearing aid technology (part 2)

Audiologist, Dr. Wade Zarella of the Hearing Institute, describes: -Advanced “stereo zoom” and “auto zoom” technology from Phonak for improved performance in noise and while traveling. -High Frequency Compression and Frequency Transposition technology designed for people with hearing loss that drops off severely in the high pitches. -Wireless Bluetooth connectivity which allows many hearing aids to link wirelessly to devices such as cell phones and televisions. -Hearing “Loop” technology which uses a telecoil common in many hearing aids to send a wireless signal from a source (such as a microphone at a podium) directly to hearing aids. (2012)
