for everyone and prevents permanent damage to the years, david will continue to wear his hearing protection to the only thing that helps with hearing loss is a hearing aid. one of the 1st electric hearing aids belong to the queen of england, 120 years ago. it weighed 12 key, those. the devices have grown smaller and smaller than you can now height them behind your ear or in the frame of view clauses. martin hearing aids individually fidgeted using this and it can impression the era scanned. and a 3 d printer uses this, attempted to produce the small plastic mode for the devices can now even be controlled with a smart phone. the hearing aid of the future is being developed at the university of oregon book. it reacts to i'm movement, it's a kind of microphone that follows the direction of your gaze. and if you use the technology should be ready for the markets. one special kind of hearing aid is

what's known as a copier implant. it started 4 years ago. suddenly, florian wagner could hardly hear anything and one in the 23 year old initially suspected acute hearing loss, 12 months amount. yeah. and i was in my room watching a movie, and at some point my hearing was gone on the left side. i went to the n t dr. the next day and he 1st gave me a cortisone and fusion. and a few days later it happened again. and then the cortisone didn't help anymore. sorry, and try and using a hearing age, but he a laser, the other it was also affected and he was almost completely deaf. acoustic trauma and it disease can lead to deafness. but in florence case, humor therapy, treatment for cancer, was to blame, things that came up to the part to go hopping agent i. unfortunately,

chemotherapy drugs also have side effects. and one of the possible side effects of his chemotherapy is that it has an os or toxic effect. that is, it has a damaging effect on this. so as of the end, it is the so called age. so the localized n o or the tree talk to you and the metabolism of the so it's just a sub. and so the cells gradually die, not on the only salvation for florian was called p, a hearing implants, these are no family on could in both sides of his head. the audio processor on the outside of the head picks up sound, sends it to the implant under the skin and via a flexible electrode onto the defective cop clear. here the ordinary information is transmitted as an electrical impulses to the old, a gene of and brain. with the copy implant flow involved now was able to hear again just a few weeks after surgery. however, he still has to train his speech comprehension. at the moment it is only 50 to 80

percent depending on the volume this one med school comparing with the call to the implant is completely different from not true hearing because the implant directly stimulates the order trina of electric need. and what is also needed is the fitting is to calculate implant on possible me this quote. on the one hand, it must not be too loud side because otherwise it is unpleasant for the effective person. but it also has to be loud enough to get the maximum speech understanding, but the call to get in front of this loop, please. maxine model, i'm confident on top to i'm to be coming florian has gotten used to the implants and he likes to technical refinements. come um, once a complimentary ops be on, on this, i can play music on my phone and that's transferred directly to the implanted device. it helps just like the sound of movies like play on my phone and need some stuff. and i can also use the phone as a microphone and ok, for example,

when i'm sitting in a restaurant and several people are talking to me and then i can put the phone on the table and it'll all be recorded by the phone and send to my implanted devices. sorry im tons to see music oh soon for the 1st time since his hearing loss and he hopes he can hit everything well with the implant and this so thing you've probably experienced this too soon but you just can't get out of your head. do you feel compelled to have a long inside? the melody becomes an endless loop. in german, it's cold and air with these melodies always pop up when we're not doing much, whether it be cooking, driving, or simply going for a walk. the most common tip against it is to listen to the tracks all the way to the end. that helps the brain to protect the subject. the

people with 10 inches don't have it so easy. tentative is a constant whistling, buzzing, humming hissing. clicking on looking in the air. so those effected it's often hellish. audio. silence something a noun. dish. stephanie friend said she suffers from tinnitus. she has a constant whistling in her ear. does have him on into it's there all the time and those parts of my everyday nice house. i just get up in the morning get ready, get the kids ready that i don't hear it's and i'm with that. i also turn on the radio relatively quickly. taxes of it during the day when i'm at work, that's the right to i don't hear it then he's a made me in the evening really when i rested when the kids are in bed with the silence and at night when i'm falling asleep enough on i'm slough. stephanie spencer,

that has an explanation for the constant west lane. she thinks that was triggered by severe stress. my mama, m c. my husband died in february last year for more not just 5 months later. my father in law died and then a very good friend of mine who helped me a lot like the steering out the belonging and was no go, has no pay disappeared and then he committed suicide. and then and then at the end of the game, i just took breast cancer and at some point it was fun just oh too much for me. his chronic tentative says the sound in the ear that won't go away and is perceived differently by different people. hearing is not just a mechanical process. here, cells into years converts sound waves into nerve impulses. but 1st, the brain gives these electrical stimuli content and meaning. are they important score, unimportant,

pleasant or unplugged. this interaction between auditory stimuli and the brain can cause tentative as a psycho sematic reaction to stress, worry or anxiety. but it can also be the result of damage to the year caused by the loud noise is that's because the brain then amplifies the missing frequency ranges, which are then over represented in the brain. the result, tinnitus, the noise, and stephanie friends as head wouldn't stop. she suspected she had tinnitus, and made an appointment with doctor reserve by a little slow vision of optics. today, she's here for a checkup doctor via to examine, sir, to see if anything has changed physically. well, so have you been? yeah. um, as it's getting back to me, but i noticed that when i'm stress the sound gets louder again on the toner,

the laptop, if ringing in the years, doesn't go away. after 2 days you should see an ear, nose, and throat specialist. they'll examine the inner ear for damage and try to find out what's triggering the noise. the spectrum ranges from your diseases to muscle, tension and stress. sometimes a hearing aid can help sometimes behavioral therapy. because often no physical causes can be found. often chronic tentative never goes away completely. patients have to learn to cope with it all, finding whether it disturbs you that's a mind to matter and you can influence that. that's why tentative treatment isn't directed at the year or more towards auditory processing, the stress system, and our emotional. so stop at home, the stuff is tim and what size of simulation? stephanie funds. so it has also found a way to cope with tinnitus. she meditates regularly and that's been helping her for 10 months now. right. and that to me because the tenant has as well as in the

evening, i have started with guided meditation and i listen to what the pass it on the recording is saying. that was solely focused on how my body is positioned, the points of support up, and i focused on my breathing to distract myself from the noise. stephanie spencer doesn't know effort. tinnitus will ever go away, but she has learned to live with it. it's there, but it no longer affects for quality of life. some tended to suffer as experienced relief to a special relaxation exercises temp shows you how it works. today i'm going to show you a great exercise which helps you to loosen the neck and shoulder area. just an upright with a is it seems like the back then you hold you have and you pull it
