Apley who, back in 1978, wrote: Doctors who treat the symptom tend to give a prescription. Doctors who treat the […]

Getting More Volume Out of Audio Devices

by Neil Bauman, Ph.D. If you need a bit more volume when listening to audio devices such as FM receivers, iPods, MP3 Players, etc (but not telephones) when using neckloops, Music-Links or earbuds, you can get the boost you need with a neat little amplifier I just discovered at Radio Shack. I had trouble hearing […]

Getting More Volume Out of Your T-Coils and Telephones

by Neil Bauman, Ph.D. A man wrote: I received the T-Links and hooked them up to my ClearSounds amplified telephone model CSC50.

Loud Noise and Hard of Hearing People

by Neil Bauman, Ph.D. A hard of hearing person asked: Is the noise damage threshold the same for me as it is for a person with normal hearing? Do I just add my decibel loss (by frequency) to the noise damage threshold for normal ears? [approximately 80 to 85 dB] If sustained noise at 90 […]

Are Epidurals Given During Childbirth Ototoxic?

by Neil Bauman, Ph.D. A lady asked: Have you ever heard of epidurals used during labor and delivery being ototoxic? The reason I ask is because I met a woman whose child was born deaf 6 months ago. She had received 4 different epidurals during her labor and delivery because none of them seemed to […]

Smoking and Hearing Loss

Will Hearing Aids Work in Cases of Head Injuries?

Twinrix Hepatitis Vaccine–Ototoxic?

by Neil Bauman, Ph.D. A man asked: It seems like everyone is getting vaccinated with the Twinrix Hepatitis virus vaccine. Do you know how safe it is? Does it affect hearing? I have no information indicating Twinrix causes hearing loss. However, it can cause dizziness, vertigo, tinnitus and middle ear pain–so you might want to […]

Hearing iPod in Stereo with Cochlear Implants

by Neil Bauman, Ph.D. A man asked: How can you get a stereo signal (say out of an iPod) split into a right and a left channel for bilateral cochlear implant (CI) recipients? The female plug from the iPod is 1/8″ stereo. Each CI processor has a DAI [direct audio input] patch cord ending with a 1/8″ […]

"The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life [which also includes perfect hearing] through Jesus Christ our Lord." [Romans 6:23]

"But know this, in the last days perilous times will come" [2 Timothy 3:1]. "For there will be famines, pestilences, and [severe] earthquakes in various places" [Matthew 24:7], "distress of nations, the sea and the waves roaring"—tsunamis, hurricanes—Luke 21:25, but this is good news if you have put your trust in the Lord Jesus Christ, for "when these things begin to happen, lift up your heads [and rejoice] because your redemption draws near" [Luke 21:28].
