ACOUSTIC NEUROMA SYMPTOMS AND HEARING LOSS

The eighth cranial nerve runs from the inner ear to the brain and plays a role in both hearing and balance. Acoustic neuroma, also called vestibular schwannoma, is a noncancerous tumor that forms along the branches of this nerve. While it can develop in relation to both ears, 98% of cases are single-sided, and over 90% of those cases cause some degree of hearing loss. The lost hearing tends to increase over time and can lead to deafness, although spontaneous recovery is possible. Other symptoms that are not hearing related include tinnitus, balance problems, and vertigo. Since the tumors can put pressure on nearby cranial nerves, facial numbness, twitching, weakness, swallowing problems, headaches, and head pressure can all occur.

BOBCAYGEON HEARING SERVICE brings you this column on hearing healthcare and its impact on the entire body in order to better educate our readers on the importance and benefits of taking care of their hearing, thus enhancing their quality of life. If you are having trouble hearing, or if a family member seems to be experiencing hearing difficulties, we welcome your call. We offer comprehensive services by a skilled and specially trained audiologist, including hearing tests and evaluations, individualized hearing instrument fittings, and follow-up care.

P.S. Symptoms of acoustic neuroma can mimic other ear conditions that cause hearing loss like cholesteatoma, labyrinthitis, or Meniere’s disease.

Ever noticed that ear-popping feeling on a plane or in the mountains? ✈️

It’s totally normal, air pressure changes can make your ears feel blocked for a moment.

Luckily, it’s easy to manage! Try yawning, swallowing or chewing gum to balance the pressure and get back to clear, comfortable hearing.

OBJECTIVE VERSUS BEHAVIORAL TESTING FOR HEARING LOSS

Objective hearing tests measure the level of function in the outer ear, middle ear, inner ear, auditory nerve, and brainstem. These tests do not require patient participation and can be performed at any age, including on infants. Tympanometry, acoustic reflexes, otoacoustic emissions, and auditory nerve and brainstem responses are all different types of objective hearing tests. Subjective or behavioral hearing tests, on the other hand, require patient response to different sounds. There are behavioral tests for babies too, including ones that measure their facial expressions and reactions to sounds. Different audiometry tests are used to measure a person’s ability to hear sounds at different frequencies and intensities. The results are recorded on a graph called an audiogram.

Acknowledging and accepting that a hearing problem exists are the first steps toward correcting it. The next move is turning to an audiologist for comprehensive examination, evaluation, and determination of the best approach to the impairment. Are you concerned that there is a problem with your hearing? Would you like to learn more about today’s advanced technology in hearing instruments? We can help you address these issues and others at BOBCAYGEON HEARING SERVICE.
P.S. Objective hearing tests provide the most accurate indication of hearing ability in most babies aged under six months.

Why You Should Skip the Q-Tips

It’s natural to want clean, comfortable ears, but Q-tips often do more harm than good. Instead of removing wax, they usually push it deeper, which can lead to blockages, irritation, or even injury inside the ear canal.

Your ears are designed to clean themselves, and when extra help is needed, a professional is always the safest choice.

At Bobcaygeon Hearing Services, we offer gentle, proper earwax removal to keep your ears healthy and your hearing clear.

NOISE-INDUCED HEARING LOSS

Prolonged exposure to loud noises or sudden bursts of loud sound can damage the sensitive hair cells of the inner ear that help transfer sound waves into electrical signals. When these hair cells are damaged, they do not regenerate, leading to noise-induced hearing loss. Exposure to extremely loud noises like explosions can cause immediate, permanent damage to hearing in a single instance. Continuous exposure to lower levels of loud noise can also cause permanent, noise-induced hearing loss. Longterm, continuous exposure to a noisy job environment is one of the most common causes of noise-induced hearing loss. Working in a bar, restaurant, or construction site, or even listening to headphones at loud volume, can all cause noise-induced hearing loss.

Many people don’t realize their hearing has been exposed to dangerous sound levels until it is too late. Today more than ever, however, we are all becoming more aware of the importance of protecting our hearing. If you or a loved one has suffered hearing impairment due to excessive noise, injury, disease, or the aging process, remember you’ve got a friend at BOBCAYGEON HEARING SERVICE. Our goal is a straight-forward one, help the hearing impaired through our expertise, personal service, and the latest technology.

P.S. Temporary threshold shift occurs when the tiny hair cells in the inner ear become overstimulated and fatigued. It occurs after a loud-noise event like a concert

HOW VIRUSES CAN CAUSE SUDDEN HEARING LOSS

Sudden hearing loss is a reduction in hearing of at least 30 decibels over a short period of time (from a few minutes to a few days). A 30-decibel reduction in sound will make a normal-level conversation sound like a whisper, so it is noticeable. There are many causes of sudden hearing loss, some of which can affect your permanent hearing. One that often slips under the radar is the link between certain viruses and sudden hearing loss. The exact cause is not understood, but it’s thought that certain viruses can trigger an abnormal immune response that causes inflammation within the cochlea and disrupts the transmission of sound waves. Viruses like herpes simplex, measles, influenza, and Covid-19 are common culprits.

If you would like to learn about different ways of protecting yourself from the many perils that can threaten your hearing abilities, we invite you to ask the people who know, the people who have your best interests at heart—the people at LINDSAY EAR CLINIC. Don’t put it off any longer. If you think your hearing abilities are less than they once were, call us to see what we can do for you. Between our commitment to your health and well-being and our dedicated staff, your hearing is in good hands.

P.S. In rare cases, the MMR vaccine for measles, mumps, and rubella can cause temporary, sudden hearing loss as a side effect, as hearing loss is a well-known measles complication.
