once the hair cells are damaged they are damaged. there is no magical-medicinal cure for a sensory/ neural hearing loss.
buck up and get your self some hearing aids. if you have a high frequency loss. make sure they have directional microphones and at the very least 8 channels so the audiologist has greater programming ease.

In most cases noise exposure causes damage to the hearing centering around 3000 – 4000Hz. It is called a 4kHz noise notch. This is due to the anatomy of the ear not the nature of the noise exposure. Research has shown that this hearing loss develops with low and high pitch noise exposure.

Hi Lisa,
Yes, this can certainly happen. It's what we call 'hyperacusis', and can be caused by loud noises. Here's a little info for you:
The good news is that as long as you aren't exposing yourself to loud noises consistently, it should go away completely in the next few days. Make sure you take care of your ears, though! You only get one set, and they've got to last you your entire life!

Lindsay Lohan Due Back in Court for Probation Hearing -
July 10th, 2010 at 4:03 am
Noise exposure over 90 dBA for over 8 hours is enough to begin to damage your outer hair cells in your cochlea. Over time that damage will become cumulative and permanent and result in loss from the 2-6 kHz range (higher pitched sounds). Impact/impulse noise can cause immediate hearing loss if it is sufficiently loud.
If people have to shout over the noise to be heard, its probably too loud to spend extended lengths of time in that environment without suffering a temporary hearing loss. If you're in doubt you're better off wearing ear plugs.

“BP has been dodgy about the mud, much like they’ve been about everything else in the Gulf (see: dispersants, flow rate, underwater plumes).
BP dumped tens of thousands of gallons of the sludge into the well as part of the failed “top-kill” attempt in May, most of which ended up in the ocean. They are expected to use hundreds of thousands of gallons in these next attempts to kill the well. Asked about the toxicity of the mud at a hearing last month, BP CEO Tony Hayward told a congressional panel, “I believe all of the mud that had gone into the ocean is water-based mud with no toxicity whatsoever.”
Except, it’s not. According to written responses released to congressional investigators on Friday, the mud contains ethylene glycol, a highly toxic chemical commonly used in anti-freeze, and caustic soda, a compound more commonly known as lye that is is also toxic.”

If the hearing aid is a behind the ear style it can easily be given to someone else. They just need to have an earpiece made for their own ear. If it is an in the ear style it is a bit more difficult. It can be done, especially if it is a relatively new hearing aid. If it is older it is not really worth it. Again the person would need to have a mold made of their ear. It also depends on if someone else in the family has a similar hearing loss. If the loss of your father is more significant the hearing aid may be too loud for most people. You have to get some advice from an audiologist.
August 27th, 2010 at 1:41 pm
There are a number of organizations, and manufacturers who are known to provide financial assistance for low-income families or individuals who need help with the cost of hearing aids.
One well-known organization that provides assistance with hearing aids is the Lions Club – you can read a brief summary of the kinds of help they offer – and find your local branch by visiting here:
A smaller organization that has established a strong track record of advocacy for hearing loss is the Sertoma Club. You can find some info about their hearing aid assistance program here:
It's worth calling attention to Sertoma's own suggestion that you look to this organization – Audient, "an alliance for accessible hearing care", sponsored by the Northwest Lion's Foundation. You can find Audient's website here:
("AUDIENT helps low income people nationwide access quality hearing aids and related care at a significantly lower cost.")
You may also want to check out the Starkey Hearing Foundation: or the Gift of Hearing Foundation:
I hope that one or more of those sites proves useful to you. I wish you the very best of luck.

Not knowing what brand of hearing aid you have, I'd have to say that the AHS# number is the serial number. Hearing aids aren't all that big, so there isn't much in the way of space for much more info, and the serial number wouldn't be on the inside of the unit. The only other place I'd look would be the inside of the battery door.

Do an internet search on the maker of your hearing aid; the company that manufactures your hearing aid may list service centers in your area. Then you can check to see if any of the service/repair centers are open on the weekend.

Well, thats a tough one. Stem cell research is still a touchy subject that President Obama hasn't put a whole lot of "priority" into, so if I were you, I would write either your State Senator or even go as far as the President and ask him directly, because the US public has as good as a guess as you
Hope this helps!

Why do you need a comparison? Your audiologist will be able to tell you WHICH hearing aid will work best for YOUR hearing loss and why some others won't. There is no way to really rate them as they are designed for certain types of hearing loss so you have to have your audiologist tell you which one would work best for YOUR hearing loss. Hearing aides are not like washers or cars where you can test them for routine things as they get adjusted for each individual person and some are suited for only certain types of hearing loss.

While this video is mostly about restoring hearing to older individuals, I’m not really a fan of the way they say people are “reconnecting to the world” –as if implying that people are completely cut off from society/isolated just from hearing loss. I know there are some deaf people would fiercely disagree, and even take offense to that statement, and even as a hearing person, I was a little taken aback. .

There are many local organizations that do assist persons with lower incomes in purchasing/obtaining hearing aids. I would recommend contacting your local Lions Club as they are the most prominent in most communities.
Also Healthy Hearing is an online consumer resource for persons with hearing loss and who wear hearing aids. They provide free consumer guides – one which is a comprehensive funding guide broken down by state and national organizations that assist persons in purchasing hearing aids. I highly recommend visiting the following section on their website to obtain that funding guide: http://www.healthyhearing.com/happy/.
