7. Earlier this year, scientists discovered that the membrane, a thin
skin covering, which is near the hair cells in the inner ear, or cochlea,
acts like a battery. As a person ages, the battery gets weaker. It shrinks
in size and in strength. With this new knowledge, medical scientists in
the future will try to develop a battery to take the place of the human
ear battery.
8. What is amazing is the difference between hearing loss in men and women.
Usually, men lose their hearing first. It's not just in hearing that men
go downhill first either. They seem to go down in all physical areas faster
than women and don't live as long as women. Men seem to do lose some of
the higher pitches starting at age 30 while women don't lose the higher
pitches until about age 50.
9. Some things you can do to save your hearing is lower the volume on
the boom boxes and walk away from rock concerts, airplanes, lawn mowers,
and other loud noises. If your ear rings and you can't hear as well, you
probably have damage. You can get plugs fitted to your ear at an audiologist's;
the plugs allow you to hear sounds without the volume. In the workplace,
companies are required to supply noise suppressors for their employees
in high noise areas, such as an airport.
10. Today, there are several options for help with hearing. You can now
get digital hearing aids. They are more flexible and precise than older
hearing aids. Many people say the sound quality is better, too. You operate
one of these hearing aids tailored to your ear with a small remote control,
and it has custom settings for different environments. There also is an
implantable hearing aid that works like an electromagnet. With severe loss,
doctors will consider a cochlear implant-the cost is high at about $30,000
to $50,000.
