Celebrate ?Better Hearing and Speech Month? this May
(ContentDesk) May 2, 2004 -- May, 2004 is Better Hearing and Speech Month (BHSM).
One way to observe the event is to self-assess one's hearing.
Some indications of possible hearing loss are: ?
frequently asking others to repeat themselves ?
often turning toward a sound to hear it better ?
understanding people better when wearing glasses or looking directly at their faces ?
losing one's place in group conversations ?
keeping the volume on the radio or TV at a level that others say is too loud ?
experiencing pain or ringing in one's earsThis May, take time to notice these signs of hearing loss.
If they seem familiar, don't hesitate to seek help.
Early detection of hearing difficulties can improve quality of life
and ease the transition back to better hearing.

How to Find Discount Hearing Aids
The American Hearing Aid Association estimates that 10% of the U.S. population experiences some form of hearing loss. Most of us know someone in our families who may be a little hard of hearing. Hearing loss is especially common in the elderly and in people who have worked many years in noise polluted environments. The elderly and those without the means to purchase expensive hearing aids will likely stick it out and simply deal with their hearing loss.
If you are considering purchasing a hearing aid, be sure to research all of your options to find the model and price range that suits your needs. You should expect to get a hearing aid for dirt cheap, but with careful planning you should be able to negotiate prices and find an excellent deal.
One way of finding discount hearing aids is to locate wholesale hearing aid dealers. A good source for wholesale products is WholesaleHearing.com. This website offers accessories and a 30-day trial.

Hearing Impaired in the Workplace
Hearing Impaired and the Workplace by Chris Hampton Dec 09 2004Being hearing impaired can be a real challenge in the workplace.
The biggest problem is that few understand the problem, and usually the person with the hearing impairment is hesitative to admit the fact.When in one on one situation things may be just fine, especially there is little background noise.
In a crowd situation the hearing impaired person may hear, but not understand, 50% or more of what is said.
It can be very frustrating in meetings etc.Sound is made up of Frequency and Volume measured in decibels. In the ear that sound is converted to electrical impulses to the brain.
Many things can happen to keep the sound from reaching the brain.
Say some one says the letter "A".
That "A" is made of the frequency determined by that person's voice box and the loudness that he speaks.
That sound goes out into the room and mixes with the noise in the room.

The Advantages of Using Disposable Hearing Aids
Disposable hearing aids are designed for people with mild to moderate hearing loss. These are often ideal for people who have only just begun to lose their hearing.
