Das Ohr verstehen
How Does Our Hearing Work?
As small as our ear may be, it is full of helpful functions and is a true wonder. It supports us in everyday life and makes it easier for us to perceive sounds and spatial structures. First there is a sound source that emits sound, which spreads in the form of a wave. The sound signal is picked up by the pinna, which transmits it via the ear canal to the eardrum. From here, the path continues to the inner ear and the hair cells, which transmit the vibrations as electrical impulses to the brain.
Recognizing Signs of Hearing Loss
Do these situations seem familiar?
Wussten Sie schon?
Hörverlust entwickelt sich oft schleichend. Viele Betroffene bemerken die Veränderung erst, wenn Angehörige sie darauf aufmerksam machen.
Preventing Hearing Loss
How to Protect Your Hearing
Avoid Noise
Avoid environments with elevated volume. At about 120 decibels we feel pain, but even at lower values our hearing is already in danger.
Wear Hearing Protection
Use hearing protection in loud environments – preferably custom-made for optimal protection. We offer individual hearing protection.
Regular Hearing Tests
Regular check-ups through a free hearing test give you the security of healthy hearing. We recommend repeating the hearing test once a year.
Early Treatment
With hearing aids, the deterioration of hearing loss is slowed and physical and mental activity is increased.
