Since low frequency noises are often considered "background noises," or ambient sound, normal hearing aids often end up raising the background noise, impeding normal hearing. In following some rules and researching on solutions to enhance our hearing, we are a step closer to preventing loss of hearing. If you are, a simple device can help restore your hearing again. The ossicles are the tiniest bones in the human body and are responsible for transmitting the sound from the air to the cochlea, the "seashell" shaped part of the inner ear.
Continuous exposure to loud noise at work (machinery and tools), recreation (motorcycles, snowmobiles), or even common chores such as mowing the lawn can cause damage to the audio sense. Treatment will vary dependent on the severity of the loss. Recent estimates have almost 29 million Americans having a measurable hearing impairment. The seemingly apparent hearing impairment is not due to any physical damage or defect, but rather to a psychological, social, or emotional problem or disorder.
