also i will sing my song. maybe my voice will be heard. seeking justice for the victims of genocide starts november 21st on the w, the things we hear summer pleasant, but others are such that you wish you were somewhere else. for example, somewhere like this. here that rustling, then you're not hard of hearing this time the show is all about. here's both in and out and questions like should you or shouldn't you clean the what do you do if you can't hear very well and how does hearing actually work? welcome to in good shape. what the,

what they're large pointed for round part years are uniquely formed, so uniquely that the shape of our ears can be used to identify us like fingerprints . but still they have some shared characteristics that are found in old people. the elastic structure made of cartilage, for example, the curved valleys and ridges amplify certain frequencies mainly so we can pick out voices better and everyone has your low whether they serve a purpose though it isn't clear, it's possible that their tissues well supplied with blood, help keep the outer ear warm, not powder years, are not enough to be able to hear. a long time ago, the ability to turn sound waves into perceptible signals arose in fish was in the

course of evolution. it stopped their gill arches, became the bones of the inner ear, commonly called the hammer and bolt, and stopped. they function as amplifiers, converting the vibrations of the air into mechanical vibrations, thanks to the large gear drum and the leverage of the bones. the signal wasn't strong enough to cause the fluid inside the cochlea to move the, the inner wall is a cox we get is lined with thousands of auditory here. so it's not like normal hairs. they're silly. don't go back. that's why too much noise austin causes irreparable hearing damage. here, cells in the inner ear or sensory cells, they convert some movement of the silly into electrical signals. these then travel to the brain via the auditory nerve. but they're the journey is far from over.

the auditory nerve transmits the signal to the brain staff, the auditory cortex localized as the sound source, as well as pitch and sound intensity. but it's only in areas like the cerebral cortex, that sound becomes a conscious perception. our hearing is a complex and sophisticated apparatus that gives us access to a whole world for sensory perceptions. it's only shortcoming is that it's always active and can't just be turned off. when we want some peace and quiet, we sometimes have no choice, but to help it along. to use a phone calls pod cast, there's lots to listen to nowadays and thanks to headphones, it's all available around the clock. it's too loud around you. no problem. just turn up the volume. put specialist say that above 85 decibels things get critical. sound should be no louder than a lawn mower for

a busy road. and ear headphones can be especially dangerous. there everywhere, usually wireless and hard to spot connected via bluetooth. in ear headphones are inconspicuous, comfortable, and can even reduce the noise. but the popular earbuds, have there is down signs of warning. things are found to get a little gross. users on social media have reported fungal infections in the ear canal that are sent to have been caused by their ear buns lucky the period because you sweat a lot with it. maybe because of that, if you don't wash them regularly, i can imagine that definitely worse than they can see. what time is left to say, i guess it probably sticks to the your phones and that's why it might cause an infection and assistance for steel. vs that's what shape on your, your bunch a. ringback bad enough that i probably wouldn't wear them off on whether we ask them, you know, throat specialist at dusseldorf, university hospital, how information's in the ear canal develop. that's what's often comfortable. it's

not really the dirt on your phones as they're basically stero, even though they don't have to be. the problem is how they're fixed in the ear canal. this happens by pressing or squeezing something, and that's where the skin is pressed or squeezed. it disturbs a bio film and can cause a small chair and the skin, and that's where the inflammation occurs. hold my daughter to the, to and send on if you where earphones for hours on end. even while exercising the ear canal can become an incubator for bacteria. so put them in your ears, carefully, don't wear them for long periods, and trust the protective effect of your wax. don't know what you cook filling in that you can even swamp earphones in a group. if you want to listen to the other as music. like there's nothing wrong with that. nothing should happen initially. you know, just coming, always bound up with you this monday. and if you get an earache, go to the doctor immediately and get treatment and maybe give the in ear headphones

a rest for a while. can you hear the crickets know that maybe you should have a professional perform a hearing test. hearing loss doesn't usually happen. suddenly it's generally a gradual process. first, the high pitched tones and sounds disappear. then you start to suspect that other people are mumbling on purpose and parties are especially bad at them. you can't understand anything. so what then? people with impaired hearing can find solutions here at an audiologist. hearing aids come in all shapes and colors, but the young people especially, are often reluctant to wear them is because with the oldest, i don't think i need a hearing aid yet. maybe i will at some point, but i'd rather be completely deaf and where one of the top of your head. so how i should have the feeling that

a hearing aid is still just an old people. thing for me, i to like to do everything just because it made me really sad that he thought i'd think it's ugly. he has one that goes over the back like this. so it may be visible to speed. is there a hearing aid to blue in germany? especially among young people, not for all of them. as everyone knows i, we're hearing aids, but they're cool. i've warned them for over 2 years and hadn't regretted at once knocked off one of us before we want to meet with levy panell to talk about his experiences with hearing aids. because of that they're cool. you can turn them off for peace and quiet and use them to cheat on tests them to listen to music was the trunk we made living in berlin after a lecture. he's only been wearing hearing aids for 3 years, 5, although his hearing loss is congenital, even at age 6, it was clear that levy needed acoustic support. it took me so much, it's like i refused to wear hearing aids back then because i talked to him look

silly. oh, do you agree with it? they were a lot bigger and hearing aids for kids were in color 5 and also am but i decided to get some because one's online classes. during that time, demick went over and i went back to university and couldn't understand the professor for feeding at home. i could turn up the volume to talk from that made me realize how much my hearing loss limits me. and that's why i got somebody which i don't understand when speaking, how has been on the how difficult would. let me also has 10, i guess, which has been causing him problems for years. a visit to the doctor gave him the decisive impetus. w. on the, on the n t did a routine test and told me it's more common for people with hearing loss to develop tonight as part of your focus and hearing aids could help and leave it up open in the investigator. how does it levy often notices in everyday life that young people don't like to talk about hearing problems or hearing aids maxwell? i'm done, but i notice it when i talk to others with hearing difficulties. now,

cuz people also notice it a little bit. i know what it's like when you can't hear, well, just do that and the others also know they don't hear well and if this is done, ok, but refuse to go see a doctor because they don't want to. we're hearing aid volume, much, much to be in by the kind of just talking of avoiding hearing aids were interested in experiences that be and t doctors who via polk house has had with young hearing impaired people from philadelphia. they want to be as inconspicuous as possible. there are teenagers who tell me they'd love a less noticeable hearing aid that they can wear in their air or target. we don't give them those while they're still growing, because we'd have to repeatedly adjust them. you know, no longer have missed that a survey shows that people who notice hearing problems don't necessarily go to the doctor, one and 5 don't have their hearing tested, even if they noticed problems that can have consequences. lindsey motes, sometimes hearing doesn't get worse for a few years,

but speech comprehension dusty, we measured that separately. here you can say that if the brain is no longer fed, it's less of getting through than speech comprehension. also get the worst but hearing doesn't offer. and that's what convinces everyone to get a hearing aid, and that's about 4 times this other than the one on for me. okay. dr. steer that hearing loss will keep rising and the coming years, especially among the young, the reason constant exposure to noise in every day in life, always wearing headphones on high volume, and attending extremely loud concerts without hearing protection. all of this can lead to noise induced hearing loss. it's triggered in the inner ear where fine sensory hair cells and the conch leah are found. when a sound wave hits the air, the cells converted into electrical signals. the auditory nerve bend transmits them to the brain. if the hare cells are damaged because noise is too loud, for too long hearing is impaired, and the damage is permanent. finding

the right hearing aid for each individual has a job for hearing aids specialist and then a funding escapes. and so there are 2 categories of devices that sit behind the air, which ideally are held to the air with the custom made air mold. and then devices that are placed in the year. but you can differentiate further and distinguish between devices that have everything technologically on board ones that use bluetooth and other devices that are somewhat more limited and technological terms that are much smaller than those ends. and i understand that and stuff have authority stories cuz i know often the 1st thing people notice is that they're hearing suffers and noisy environments. lots of conversations, loud background noise, for example, in a crowded street cafe. even with hearing aids, levy has to concentrate this. so there, don't you ever go to crowded campaigns, you, this album i might invert,

i wouldn't say i avoid them because when i'm there with people, i try to sit at a quiet or table and if it's too loud, i really have to concentrate a lot or sometimes i need a minute where i don't take part in the conversation, which has that conference. you would have called the gentleman. i knew that he has been posting humorous videos since the beginning of 2024, and has grown very successful in a short space of time. his 1st video about hearing aids now has 6 and a half 1000000 views because someone said, almost to death in my right ear, never wanted a hearing aids. but this convince me like living where it's it's hearing aids every day. even when playing the piano, he believes that they could become the catching up the future. the yes can you, i was hearing aids, can now play music description and there's already a on i that translate scott's life. okay. what i also think will increase the acceptance of hearing aids step more and more people are walking around with

bluetooth headphones. now, besides, this is all so it's no longer so strange to see people walking around with something in their ear. and i think that's a positive development for young people. we're hearing aids, lots to hoping to come. so small gadgets in the year could become a trend that replaces a to bu noise cancelling head far. it's not a good for your years and how do they actually work? we've already explained this on our tech talk channel. it's just practical times gone high to, you know, when you add 5 and minus 5, they cancel each other out well, and you can do the same thing with sound weeks. wave. has chris truss, do we copy and paste that weight from the company? i mean to the side, so the crests align with the traps. i'm the original ways with cows on each other out and we get notes out. that's when your headphones are doing, analyzing the noise around you and computing the mirror image version of it. and then peeping into your ear, so that means your headphones are actually playing additional sounds to noise

counseling works best with cost and low pitch in order to get it. now another question, what about cleaning your years? how does that work? cuts and swaps. many people believe that the popular hygiene art schools adjust the right tool to clean it deeply and thoroughly, but fall off from it. because cotton swabs pushed the wex deep into the, the y axis squeeze together and it can become clumped. there's also a risk of injury because then i can well remember a patient who is using a cotton swabs case in someone from outside opened the bathroom door of the car and swap was pushed through the drum and the entire media was broken into onto us because i'm to walk up what we don't need coaching swaps anyway, because all is the self cleaning it works despite the protectant and cleanser.

never the less candles are often used to clean is a candle this band with one end. and it can, this is suppose to create a vacuum and pulled a wax out of the but doesn't even what pull some you into doesn't, it doesn't work at all. that they're also studies that show that use do not become cleaner. and the risk of complications isn't minutes when that are some type of fun . we see quite severe injuries in the area of the auditory canals just caused by the use of your candles as well as damage to the drum health. i'm in the said that some of us thomas has so it's special to avoid this technique together. what should you do if you is pitch? many of us reach for all kinds of objects to store it. king, to the old ears are often seen and patients who want to keep the use especially

clean. i recommend 1st of all, that you clean your use very late on yourself because they clean themselves is on the line. and the 2nd thing is you can try and using your finger to wrap a little oil based cream around your opening. and that spreads itself out a little bit too, as a gift, and that's for the highest on often. but since the greatest danger for that is, is noise, continuous exposure to loud noise can lead to hearing loss. and genesis very loud fun can even cause deafness. you should also what it plugs, concepts them, and i get if you end up at a concert, i'm thinking, crap, i don't have anything with me, but it's getting too loud for me. i use that and it always works. i would grade with tissues. i also have that's what i do to i roll the dishes together and put them in my here. so, and then you have great protection depending on how hard your sweepstakes this is looking for, for the why it's important to protect children's hearing. that is a particularly sensitive and con, totally right now,

defense that comment to you can't put anything in children's years. they have much smaller. you can opt out if everything falls out again. but you should really use your mouse on all right. this is what hearing protection for children looks like. by the way, quiet walks, especially after noise events are also get to the is swimming and fading announced a problem for healthy is. but after facing any war to should be removed as about how some one ask you get walter out of the year after bathing the holding your head at an angle and then you can wiggle, elizabeth, or hop on one leg depending on what works. and then you can use a towel to dry of the walter into the patients are always afraid that the walter can get further into the year and then disappears somewhere into the heads and cuts . that doesn't happen, confesses, you can think of the drum as a barrier. you were leaving us with. the water comes in for the you're here,

the food, the external auditory canal, and or that only reaches the job. that's why it's not the dangerous thing is this offers to fiance so it's really not that difficult to keep you is clean and healthy. you got a tricky decision to make scientist say your brain doesn't just rely on site and sound to choose, but also makes assumptions about what you're about to see and hear that constantly compares the prediction. what's your actual perception? this often doesn't work all that well for people with poor hearing and makes it hard to make decisions and situations like these hearing aids or cochlear implants can improve hearing. but you also have to learn to share with them. my. my name is eda, because i'd like to laugh ego has have the same name since kindergarten at the state education center. now she's in elementary school and has to learn math. first

teacher, you to fuck and back connect. you does cochlear implant to the microphone. the other children also were implants or hearing aids, do this so the children can hear me directly through the system in their ear so they can concentrate better on me. my voice and the gestures a loud speaker also amplifies the teacher's voice. in case the direct connection to the kid's ears doesn't work. the best of products, but it's always best when they're linked directly to me. they said there is little background noise that they hear me exactly hearing what the others in the room are saying, a big challenge for the children, which requires a lot of concentration. that's why it's important that everyone can see one another . in addition to modern technology used a fucking bug also use a sound accompanying gestures, slim down form of sign language in the special facility for the hearing, impaired help is also readily available. for instance,

if there are difficulties with an implant or if someone's hearing gets worse, to really explore, think about where the noise could be coming from and then point to the speakers likes them. i'm off the last i saw there. right. come disposition. although ita is fitted with implants her hearing is not perfect as ca, calling trans test show, their good stuff looks like yes, it's very important in traffic that you also look with your eyes because it's difficult to hear through your years. so you can't just rely on technology, there are situations where it either has to make do without it either lunch. i have to take them off when i go swimming and then my mom has to sign with me. that's why children ito's age also receive lessons in german sign language so they can

communicate and understand each other through both sound and sign language of around one and a half 1000000000. people globally have hearing problems. the world health organization fears that number will suit doubled, the world has grown louder. this puts young people in particular at risk due to their habits. but diseases such as poto, sclerosis can also lead to hearing loss. it's not the clear exactly how the disease develops, but something can be done about it. many people take the sounds of everyday life for granted, but hardly anyone has comparative values. what is normal hearing? people like loudly said, becca can live for years with a mass of hearing impairment at not know it. so guys can always just comes from us on the phone that i don't know exactly when it started. it was a gradual process and abby's on the house at 1st i thought i had to night is

systems of this. i always had this phones in my arizona and in everyday life it felt a bit stressful. whenever the background noise was louder, situations got stressful. a little faster, she was into the trap system, and in the end i could hardly hear anything on the right side gunsmith who was item when her hearing loss got worse, lisa had herself examined the year is a complex oregon, and sudden hearing loss can have many concepts she was diagnosed with also, if occasion of the stroke, also known as auto sclerosis. the attention of patients with auto, sclerosis here less well may have a slight ringing in the years. and, and exceptional cases, also dizziness and lots of records. auto sclerosis is genetic disease is very complex and is related to the faulty interaction of the auditory bones. and her inner ear shall come to a small portion of the sound. first passes through the auditory canal and it's the

era dropout would you call us as the a singular chains that is to hammer and, and bill and including the stir of the moment i saw the visitors case. the problem was that the stirrup was also fine. that's the smallest article here, and that means that the sound was not transmitted to the inner ear because the stroke couldn't move stuff in and off. load the chicago considering the vague and calmed hearing tests, confirm bodies of records, and also vacation. and thus her hearing loss is getting worse and worse. she will soon need an operation. until then, she'll use a hearing aid, a taste of what she has missed so far, a spot for the coupon. it's been great for the interim. i've got on very well with the hearing aid. i've also been glad that i had it prior to surgery, and i really realized how bad on hearing actually was the act of useless but my interest, the doctor done yellow science performs that procedure on nothing said becca. that it involves replacing the ossified stirrup with an implant done nissan unable. then

we take a prosthesis like lift, hang it carefully on the anvil so that it reconnects to the inner air fluid and the sound can be transmitted just as well. the chain has been been rebuilt, and as mo bile, again, the cut to z to a cons 3 of the or the procedure takes about an hour, and it's usually performed under general anesthesia, the f o shawn. since the chances of success are very good. so that from a loss of 40 decibels, you'll have between 0 and 10 decibels and loss, which is actually normal hearing. and i know my list is in rare cases. complications such as inflammation occurred. patients often experience ringing in the ears and the dizziness after surgery. but these generally disappear after a short time 50 bucks, and if a patients don't want an operation are afraid or too ill or have other problems, the operation is said to be too dangerous and not to get in this case, the hearing loss can also be compensated for with a hearing,

aid on often has so little stores and hook up at alkali and cases like locks of echoes. he and aid is not a long term solution since if left untreated. also, if occasion of the affected auditory bone can progress. but the prosthesis can permanently approve for hearing. that's all, thank the ear, no longer gross or changes in science. and if no other problem arises, such as inflammation, cross thesis remains forever. so just a few months after the operation, the ear canal is closed and protected with bandages, which i removed after 2 weeks, however, amounting. so becca was allowed to leave the hospital after just 2 days to pay the surgery itself went rather quickly. but i spent 2 nights in the hospital just because of the dizziness and then i came here to the doctor's office for check ups . after that things steadily improved fitness that actually got better every day and test the dizziness almost vanished. i have no pains, and my hearing is about 100 percent for a moment. so you know, when i put sent the visa becker will probably also have to have an operation on her

left ear next year. she's happy that she can hear properly again and is confident about the upcoming surgeries. thanks for joining us. we hope to hear from you soon . bye for now the
