What George Martin, the "fifth Beatle", had to say about hearing loss

I recently watched a wonderful documentary about George Martin called “Produced by George Martin” and was surprised by how much of the film was devoted to hearing loss and the psychological pain that it can cause. The most successful music producer of all time, as defined by the sheer quantity of Number One Billboard hits, the man who produced the likes of the Beatles, Jeff Beck, Sting, and Elton John, at the end of a long and eventful career, this man of immense accomplishment chose to focus much of his autobio-documentary on living with hearing loss, which speaks to its profound impact on daily life. Here’s some of what he had to say: “Every time you talk to someone, especially at a cocktail party, you are doing mental calculation, rather like filling in a crossword puzzle….as quickly as you can so as not to be stupid…if you can’t join in the conversation, of everyone going around, you get isolated, you become invisible, they talk past you.” If you have hearing loss, stay visible and help yourself focus on your successes and not your losses by using appropriate amplification and by engaging in clEAR auditory brain training. clEAR: EARs train the brain www.clearforears.com hashtag#hearing loss hashtag#auditory training hashtag#Beatles

Motivation for hearing healthcare if you are older and have a hearing loss

If you know an older person who has hearing loss but lacks motivation to seek treatment, you will be interested to learn about a study just out from Johns Hopkins University (N. A. Reed et al., 2018), which presents powerful factoids that you can share to motivate this person to seek treatment. In a study spanning 10 years, the researchers found the following to be true of older adults with untreated hearing loss, as compared to peers with normal hearing: • They incurred 46% higher healthcare costs ($22,434 per person over the ten years) • They were 50% more likely to have a hospital stay and 44% more likely to be readmitted within 30 days • They were 17% more likely to visit an emergency room • They were 40% more likely to have depression Although it is unclear how much improvement would have occurred had this group received hearing healthcare treatment, the authors suggest that because conversations are difficult for them, they might be less likely to pursue medical care and less likely to experience successful conversations with their doctors when they do. clEAR auditory brain training: An important component of hearing healthcare for adults of every age www.clearworks4ears.com hashtag#healthcare hashtag#hearingaids hashtag#auditorytraining hashtag#hearingloss

How to Become Better at Reading Lips: Speechreading Tip #2

As promised, I'm posting speechreading tips, starting last week and for the next few weeks. Here's speechreading tip number 2:

2.  Make ambient lighting work for you and not against you. For example, if you are sitting at an outdoor coffee shop, choose a chair at the table where you are not looking into the morning sun. Direct sunlight in your eyes will compromise your speechreading performance. Moreover, the sunlight streaming around your partner’s head will cast shadows on the person’s face and further hamper your speechreading. At restaurants, sit by a window in the day and near a light source in the evening. (continues) If you have a hearing loss and like to eat out at restaurants.
