widespread races, depression today, the street, the people we need to talk about here, the stories, shadows of german colonialism. the 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 years, both in and out and questions like should you or shouldn't you cleaned up? 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, is unclear. it's possible that their tissues well supplied with blood help keep the outer ear worn out. her ears are not enough to be able to hear a long time ago. the ability to turn sound waves into perceptible signals arose in fish. indic, worst of allusions,

installed their gill arches became the bones of the inner ear, commonly called the hammer. and bolt can stir up. they function as amplifiers, converting the vibrations of the air into mechanical vibrations, thanks to the large ear drum and the leverage of the bones the signal less than strong enough to cause the fluid inside the cochlea to move the inner wall. as a calculator is lined with thousands of auditory here. so, unlike normal hairs, they're silly, don't grow back. that's why too much noise austin causes irreparable hearing damage . the here cells in the inner ear or sensory cells, they convert the movement of the silly a 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 stem. the auditory cortex localized as the sound source, as well as pitch and sound and 10 today. 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 music phone calls pod tasks, 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, click specialist say that about 85 decibels things get critical. sound should be no louder than a lawn mower or a as he rose and pin 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's 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. but the period because you sweat a lot with that. maybe because of that, if you don't wash them regularly, i can imagine that definitely force them to 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 that is sufficient for steal vs. so that's what shape on your, your bunch, a 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 called. 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 image, 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 daughter to the dance and don't if you wear 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 works. you can even swap earphones in a group if you want to listen to the others music. there's nothing wrong with that . nothing should happen initially. you know, just coming, always bound up with you. that's my next. and if you get an earache, go to the doctor immediately and get treatment. and maybe give the in ear

headphones or rest for a while. can you hear the crickets? no, then 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 the global, 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 rated 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 interstate. is there a hearing a to blew 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 won them for over 2 years and haven't regret it 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 the derek. ready you can turn them off for peace and quiet and use them to cheat on test them to listen to music was the trunk. we made levy and berlin after a lecture. he's only been wearing hearing aids for 3 years. although his hearing loss is congenital, even at age 6, it was clear that larry needed acoustic support, which helped me so much. it's like i refused to wear hearing aids back then because i thought they looked silly. oh, do you agree that they were

a lot bigger in hearing aids for cancer and color 5 and also am but i decided to get them because one's online classes during the academic world over on i went back to university and couldn't understand the professor is for feeding at home, i could turn up the volume to talk on that made me realize how much my hearing loss limits me for all. and that's why i got them very. we took the high instinct. once the speaking how we put on the how the good libby also has tonight guess which has been causing him problems for years, a visit to the doctor gave him the decisive images. 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 with us instead of opened into investing by august. the lovely often notices in everyday life that young people don't like to talk about hearing problems or hearing aids, maxwell. i'm done friends with i noticed that when i talk to others with hearing

difficulties, people also notice it little get. i know what it's like when you can't hear. well let's do that. and the other is also know they don't hear, well, have this thing done. ok, but refuse to go see a doctor because they don't want to. we are hearing aids. most of us to be in by the kind of this time of, of waiting hearing aids were interested in experiences that bmt doctors who vehicle cost has had with young hearing impaired people from philadelphia. they want to be as inconspicuous as possible. there are teenagers who tell me they've loved a less noticeable hearing aid that they can wear in their air or are we don't give them, don't smell? they're still growing because we'd have to repeatedly adjust them. we don't 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 notice problems that can have consequences. munsey, sometimes hearing doesn't get worse for a few years. so, but speech comprehension,

dots of say, we measured that separately here. good here you can say that if the brain is no longer fed as the length is getting through, then beach comprehension, also get the horse, 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 mon, farmington. ok. dr. steer that hearing loss will keep rising. and the coming years, especially among the young, the reason constant exposure to noise and 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 find sensory hair cells and the conch leah are found. when a sound wave hits the ear, the self converted into electrical signals. the auditory nerve then 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, it's a job for hearing aids specialist and then a funding is keeps. and so there are 2 categories of devices that sit behind the air, which ideally are held to the air with a 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 in technological terms that are much smaller in taking those ends. and i think that is definitely my daughter, stormy sine a 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 you. so there, don't you ever go to crowded campaigns, you the elements 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 conversations. we can talk on the porch. i'm talking about how new that'd be 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. someone said almost to death in my right year. never wanted a hearing aid, but this convinced me like living where sits hearing aids every day. even when playing the piano, he believes that they could become the catching up the future. just can you hearing aids can now play music and there's already a on i that translate scotch life. okay. what i also think will increase the acceptance of hearing aids, is that more and more people are walking around with the bluetooth headphones. now,

besides, this is also, it's no longer so strange to see people walking around with something in their ear . why? and i think that's a positive development for young people. we're hearing aids, lots to hold on. so small gadgets in the year could become a trend that replaces a to bu noise cancelling headphones. so they good for your years and how do they actually work? we've already explained this on our tech top channels. it's just practical signs gone. hi, derrick. you know, when you add 5 and minus 5, they cancel each other out well and you can do the same thing with sound. wait, wait. has chris truss? if we copy and paste that, we move the copy of the to the side. so the crests align with the trapped some of the original ways. we can only told her out and we get notes out. that's the one 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 towns to noise counseling works best with cost and i'm no pitch. no, i get it. now another question. what about cleaning your years? how does that work? cuts and swaps. many people believe that the popular hygiene schools adjust the right tool to clean it deeply and thoroughly, but fall off from it. because cutting swaps push the wax deep into the deluxe, we squeeze together and it can become clumped. there's also a risk of injury academy. then i can well remember a patient who is using a cotton swab, stiffened someone from outside, opened the bathroom door of the car, and swap was pushed through the drum and the entire media was broken because i'm to walk up what we don't need caught in swaps anyway, because this is the self cleaning, it works of both the project and the cleanser. never the less candles are often

used to clean it is a hollow, candle is bent with one end and it can this is supposed to create a vacuum and pull to walk out of the it doesn't even what, what's in the end to 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 is the minutes when the other student has on. 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 to together. what should you do if you is speech? many of us reach for all kinds of objects to stop the 18. the old years are often seen and patients who want to keep the use especially clean. i recommend 1st of all

that you clean your ease very little 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. you as a gift on desktop has this done 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 close deafness. you should also, when it plugs a concepts them, and i get that. and 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 my use that and it always works out great 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 to squeak for the why it's important to protect children's hearing. the is a particularly sensitive and con, totally right now defense with that cover letter,

you can put anything in children's years. they have much smaller, you can outage, everything falls out again. but you should really use your mouse and i think this is what hearing protection for children looks like by the way, quiet works, especially after noise. events are also get to the is swimming and bathing announced a problem for healthy is but after facing any war to should be removed as a vessel some one after you get the water 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 head. cutting that doesn't happen. you can think of the drum as a battery of the water comes in the for the or here the. so the external auditory

canals and, or that's only reaches the drum pump, 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've 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 to production. 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 like to laugh ito 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. if i 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 best to protest, but it's always best when they're linked directly to me. and there is little background noise that they hear me exactly hearing what the other is in the room are saying a big challenge for the children, which requires a lot of concentration. that's why i think it's important that everyone can see one another. in addition to modern technology, you're just talking about also uses found a company gestures slim down form of sign language in this special facility for the hearing. impaired help is also readily available.

so 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 their place right on the compass position. although ita is fitted with implants. her hearing is not perfect as calling shots test. sho, douglas stop. looks like it's very important in traffic that you also look with your eyes because it's difficult to hear through your years to me. 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 for 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 double the world has grown louder, just put to young people in particular at risk due to their habits. but diseases such as photos, sclerosis can also lead to hearing loss. it's not 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 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 area. 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 ear 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 that patients with auto, sclerosis here less well may have a slight ringing in the years. and, and exceptional cases also dissing lots of records, auto sclerosis is genetic disease is very complex and is related to the faulty interaction of the auditory bones in her inner ear. it shall come to a small portion of the sound. first passes through the auditory canal and it's the

era drop off. would you call us as being a singular chains that is to hammer and, and bill and including the stir. the moment i saw the business case, the problem was that the strip was also fine. that's the smallest article here, and that means that the sound was not transmitted to the inner ear because the strip couldn't move stuff in an all low dish doug, requesting anybody they can come to hearing tests confirm noddy subject us off the vacation and us are 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 background. so 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 my hearing actually was going to act officially. 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,

never diesel unable, then we take across thesis like live, 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 let the cut to the, to a constraint on the vacation. and the procedure takes about an hour and is usually performed under general anesthesia, the f o shots on. so 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. 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 part of the button. if a patients don't want an operation or afraid or 2 l or have other problems, the operation is set 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 all sky. in cases like

lots of records here, an aide is not a long term solution sense if left untreated. also, if occasion of the affected auditory bone can progress. but the prosthesis can permanently approved for hearing. that's all, thank the ear, no longer gross or changes in science. and if no other problem arises, such as inflammation across these, this remains forever. so just a few months after the operations ear canal is closed and protected with bandages, which i removed after 2 weeks. however, and i think that 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 that 100 percent off on the seat off 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

the. the fear, anger and resignation. the war in the middle east is highly polarizing. we ask young his release and palestinians in berlin. what their experiences if in like, over the past year, they still feel at home in the city whose voices had been silenced. set become loud . snow stopped in 30 minutes on the w. go, india. cleaning up henry's am central to our protest are turning towards more environmentally friendly production methods. for far too long,

the leather industry jeopardize the health of its workers in the local population. water recycling in natural tenants could be the key to a new chapter. the dream was within reach, she'd become a star in turkey overnight. then a man took everything from her with the help of his family and music she rebuilt. and then her system also became a family scout by hatred and tomatoes and the daughters. i am willing to work for change, so i will sing my song. maybe my voice will be heard. seeking
