If the hearing aid whistles. Noise background when using a hearing aid

The main cause of hearing aid beeping is the device does not fit snugly to the ear. Typically, the problem lies with the earmold used in the hearing aid. The earbud may not fit well with the rest of the device, or simply be of poor quality. In this case, the insert needs to be replaced.

Also, squeaking is not ruled out if The device itself is of poor quality.. If you purchased a hearing aid at a low price, consider purchasing a higher quality model. Of course, the presence of marriage is not excluded in the hearing aid of any model, but the name of a well-known manufacturer is better insured against the presence of a malfunction. You can also consult with other people who wear hearing aids: they can often tell you where to buy a good device.

The problem may be in the setup of the device, if it goes astray or is simply poor quality.. To adjust the device, you should contact a specialist - an audiologist-adjuster. If your regular audiologist cites any other reason for the device's failure and refuses to reconfigure the device, we strongly recommend that you find another, more competent specialist. Typically, fitting a hearing aid is a complex and lengthy process; The audiologist should not refuse to help you under any circumstances if you claim that you need to readjust your hearing aid.

And the thing is that the distance between the receiver (speaker) and the microphone system is small. And because of the small distance, the high-frequency shortwave sound that is received by the microphone and amplified many, many times, sometimes gets back into the microphone. This circumstance causes its self-excitation. And the sound gets there due to the very small gaps between the earmold and the ear canal. Thus, the louder the hearing aid, the more whistling.
To avoid this problem, you need to make sure that the earmould fits snugly in your ear. This is what an individual insert is made for.
The problem of whistling is also solved by the program itself in setting up a digital device.

Among the analog programmable hearing aids there is the Swift Oticon model, it is not expensive for about 7000 rubles, and the sound gives like a top digital one. And all because the digital has not yet completely approached the analog sound. A digital hearing aid mainly provides noise reduction (a lot of technological gadgets), features (connection to a telephone, TV) and perhaps everything. Analog gives true pure sound.

Why is it necessary to wear hearing aids in both ears?

The use of two hearing aids allows a person to restore the ability to determine the direction of sound in space, increases speech intelligibility. In addition, two hearing aids provide additional amplification, which is extremely important for severe hearing impairment, when one hearing aid does not provide the necessary amplification.

Comfortable feeling when wearing a hearing aid is important both for you and for those around you.

However, almost all hearing aids can show signs of feedback. An ordinary person perceives the feedback phenomenon as a whistle.

There are several reasons for the occurrence of the feedback phenomenon:

First reason The whistle of the device is the presence of a large accumulation of sulfur in the ear canal, which prevents the penetration of sound, and the sound, reflected, again falls on the microphone of the device. If the device works all the time, then the feedback is a continuous process, which we hear in the form of a whistle.

It is necessary to get rid of sulfur, and you will feel that the sound has become clearer and the device will stop whistling.

The easiest way to get rid of earwax is to make an appointment with your local otolaryngologist.

The second reason If the device whistles, the earmold does not fit snugly against the walls of the external auditory canal, you may have chosen a smaller earmold.

It is very easy to check this by putting your finger on the earmold and holding it tighter in the ear canal if you feel that the whistling has stopped. then, it is better to contact your specialist and make a new individual insert.

Third reason whistling - the hearing aid is damaged.

This is a common cause if the sound guide tube has become rigid and micro-cracks appear on it. In the case of wearing intra-ear devices, such a reason may be cracks in the body of the device itself.

This can only be corrected by a specialist and a branded hearing aid repair center.

Fourth and the most rarely encountered feedback condition is a complex ear canal. Those. if the sound guide hits directly into the wall or down the passage, it can cause an amplified sound, and then, in order for the device to return to normal, a whistle begins. All these signs of feedback you can eliminate with your specialist.

It should be noted that the most modern hearing aids of the series Siemens Motion as an example, they are supplied with an automated feedback suppression system. When the device detects a hint of feedback, it automatically adjusts to suppress feedback, which unfortunately cannot be achieved in the simplest hearing aid that does not include these options.

Therefore, if you are tired of whistling (feedback), we are always happy to help you in the modern center of hearing and prosthetics of Dobry Rumor.

All work on the manufacture of earmoulds, replacement of tubes - sound guides, the manufacture of cases for in-ear hearing aids is carried out by engineers from Siemens and other manufacturers of hearing aids.

The "whistle" or "beep" of hearing aids is a manifestation of the feedback effect. It appears due to the amplification of the sound, which was already amplified before. A fairly common phenomenon that can bring discomfort not only to the wearer of hearing aids, but also to others, attracting them, often, inappropriate attention. Sometimes the feedback effect can be so strong that it becomes impossible to use the device. Modern manufacturers have done a lot to "teach" hearing aids to suppress "whistling". And we have made significant progress in this. However, the problem still exists, especially in patients with severe degrees of hearing loss. There are several reasons for this.

The first and most common

Loose fitting to the ear canal and auricle. Most often, universal earbuds “sin” with this, which do not take into account the structural features of the ear. Properly made according to the mold, an individual insert is free from this drawback. Do you want to avoid "whistling"? Give preference to an individual insert.

In children, the appearance of a feedback effect may indicate that the child has "grown" out of the insert. This is especially noticeable in the first year of life, when the inserts have to be re-made every 2-3 months.

For intracanal devices, there is also such a problem if the body does not fit snugly against the walls of the external auditory canal.

The second reason

A crack in the tube connecting the earmold to the behind-the-ear hearing aid. It simply needs to be replaced or re-pasted in the otoplasty laboratory.

Third reason

Poor fitting of hearing aids. Many models have powerful feedback suppression algorithms that can be activated by a tuner.

The fourth reason is perhaps the most rare

Damage to the hearing aid, when the "leakage" of sound occurs in the case itself.

If you encounter a "feedback" problem, contact the medical center. Whatever the cause, our specialists will help you find and eliminate it.

Why does my hearing aid whistle?

Wax in the ear canal can interfere with the normal passage of sound into the internal structures of the ear. The sound, being forcibly forced out, is the cause of the high-pitched whistle. Sulfur, of course, must be removed. But beware of doing it yourself (you may damage your eardrum). It is always better to consult a specialist.
Carrying the unit at full volume may produce an unpleasant, annoying sound. Turn down the volume of your hearing aid or consult a hearing professional about whether a more powerful hearing aid is needed for you.
Wearing a head covering can cause your hearing aids to whistle. Turn down the volume of your hearing aid or take off your hat. The short-term whistle of the hearing aid may appear if you are hugging someone.
An unsuitable standard or customized earmold can cause the hearing aid to whistle. Contact your hearing care center to have your earmold refurbished or modified. A large loss or a large gain in a hearing aid requires an accurate fit of the earmold.
The plastic tubes that connect behind-the-ear hearing aids to the earmold become hard and shrink when the hearing aid is worn, pulling the earmold out of the hearing aid so that it no longer sits snugly in the ear. This may be the cause of the whistle of the hearing aid. Replace tubing.

Questions and answers

What is the difference between a digital device and an analog one?

A digital hearing aid is more than just a sound amplifier. It takes into account not only the degree of hearing loss, but also its physiological characteristics, the ability of the ear to amplify a weak sound and weaken a strong one. In digital devices, there are special systems for noise suppression and speech amplification. All this ensures maximum speech intelligibility and comfort for a person in any sound conditions.

The main difference between a digital hearing aid and an analog hearing aid is the presence of a digital sound converter. The main purpose of the digitizer is to produce amplified high-definition sound, which provides maximum speech intelligibility, maximum separation of speech from ambient noise, natural sound, as well as additional features of the hearing aid functioning, available only to digital technologies.

Why is it necessary to wear hearing aids in both ears?

Can a hearing aid impair hearing?

Some people think that the use of hearing aids may impair their residual hearing because they no longer have to strain to hear, or because the amplification harms their residual hearing. Fortunately, this is not the case.

A hearing aid can only adversely affect hearing if it does not meet the degree of hearing loss (audiological data) and current technological requirements.

In order to activate and preserve residual hearing, it is necessary to stimulate the ear and the pathways from the ear to the brain. Today it is known that if the ears are not stimulated for a long period, hearing will gradually deteriorate. In the field of audiology, this phenomenon is known as "hearing out".

The hearing aid has a positive effect on speech intelligibility, stabilizing and improving the sound-conducting and sound-perceiving functions of brain structures. Thus, the device acts as a simulator of its own hearing.

Which hearing aid models are suitable for children?

To ensure optimal functionality of hearing aids, it is important that they fit your child's ears perfectly. Due to the constant physical changes in the shape and size of a child's ear, there are special requirements for hearing aids. Behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing aids are usually recommended for young children as they are the most durable, easiest to use, and make daily wax removal easier. Since the shape and size of a child's ear canal is constantly changing, new earmoulds should be made from time to time.

When is an in-the-ear hearing aid not suitable?

1. Severe and profound hearing loss. In-the-ear hearing aids are usually designed for mild to moderate hearing loss, although there are models that compensate for hearing loss up to 80 dB.

2. The presence of perforation of the tympanic membrane.

3.Children's age, at least up to 10 years.

4. Intra-ear, especially intracanal, SA is not recommended for the elderly, with impaired coordination of movements, with impaired vision, impaired sensitivity of the fingers due to the small size of the device and battery and the complexity of caring for the device and the external auditory canal.

Is it possible to call a doctor at home, pick up a hearing aid at home?

Home visits are carried out daily. Services are provided in Moscow and the Moscow region.

Why do devices vary widely in price?

The increase in hearing aid value is the result of high technology and design improvements to improve speech intelligibility, sound quality and ease of use of the hearing aid.

Such devices have more precise adaptation to individual audiological needs, facilitate communication in various acoustic situations, with several interlocutors at the same time.

The technologies of inexpensive devices are less complex and limited to the set of simple functions necessary for the perception of sounds.

Does hearing remain at the same level as before wearing the hearing aid?

With prolonged use of the SA, a person gets used to listening without tension and forgets how he heard without it. Therefore, as soon as the patient removes SA, he "falls" into silence, from which he has already managed to wean, and it will take some time to get used to listening again and focusing on the perception of speech. In addition, the people around you also get used to speaking louder. At the same time, even if immediately, after turning off the SA, a hearing test is carried out, it will be at the same level. Long-term observations of such patients confirm this fact. Therefore, after prolonged use of the SA, you can do without it, but do not want to.

What determines the effectiveness of hearing aids?

You will always hear better with a hearing aid than without it, but the extent to which this improvement is significant depends on many factors.

1. The sooner you start using a hearing aid when hearing loss is detected, when the ability of your hearing system to analyze speech signals is not yet reduced, the faster you will adapt to the hearing aid and maintain good speech intelligibility.

2. From the degree of hearing loss: the greater the hearing loss, the less the ability of your auditory system to analyze even the sound amplified by the device.

3. From the nature of hearing loss: what causes hearing loss - damage to the outer, middle or inner ear and the level of damage to the auditory system.

4. Age of the patient: in old age, the ability to quickly analyze speech signals decreases.

5. From the capabilities of a particular hearing aid: the more sound processing parameters, the easier it will be for your hearing system to analyze it.

6. With rare exceptions, prosthetics with two devices is more effective than one.

7. From the qualifications of a specialist who selects and adjusts your hearing aid.

What is a speech recognition system?

A speech recognition system is a special algorithm for detecting speech sounds and extracting it from background noise. This system is available only in digital hearing aids. The hearing instrument's processor continuously analyzes the signals from all frequency channels and automatically reduces the gain when there is no speech and increases it when speech appears. There are also more complex algorithms that increase the intelligibility of the most difficult sounds to perceive - whistling and hissing. The operation of these algorithms is effective for the languages they are targeted at. For example, if a European uses a hearing aid tuned to Japanese, then with all the quality of this device, speech will become louder, but no more intelligible.

What is tinnitus?

The term "tinnitus" refers to noise in the ears or in the head - this is a fairly common complaint in older people. The reasons for this condition are varied, noise can be caused by problems of the inner ear, neurological and vascular diseases, drug intoxication (ototoxic antibiotics, quinine, antitumor drugs), Meniere's disease, diabetes, traumatic brain injury, osteochondrosis and other diseases. Often (in 30% of cases) the occurrence of tinnitus is associated with damage to the auditory analyzer due to exposure to external noise. In most cases, the causes remain unknown, and apart from the sensation of noise, this phenomenon does not cause any particular trouble. At the same time, in the first 3-6 months of "fresh" tinnitus, these noises can still be eliminated. Subsequently, tinnitus becomes chronic and practically untreatable. It is recommended to use quiet music or sleep with the radio turned on - this drowns out the noise and improves well-being.

What is the effect of occlusion?

The effect of occlusion is an improvement in the perception of sounds through the bone when the external auditory canal is closed in normally hearing people; in diseases of the sound-conducting apparatus, there is no occlusive effect, which makes it possible to use it for the differential diagnosis of lesions of the hearing organ. When the earmold is inserted into the ear canal, it is completely closed. Patients with hearing thresholds at low frequencies less than 40 dB may complain that their voice sounds hollow, echoes, or speaks like a barrel. In addition, they begin to hear their own body sounds louder, such as chewing or the sound of footsteps when walking on a hard surface. To relieve the wearer of hearing aids from discomfort, an open prosthesis system has been created, in which the hearing aid and earmould have a valve hole with a diameter of more than 4 mm. Such a valve opening allows the sounds that have entered it through bone conduction to be released from the ear canal, and thus eliminate the effect of occlusion.

What is Meniere's disease and how does it affect hearing and the possibility of prosthetics?

Meniere's disease is caused by increased fluid pressure in the labyrinth of the inner ear. Manifested by bouts of dizziness with nausea and noise in the ear. Over time, the hearing in the affected ear decreases and complete deafness may occur. In severe form, this disease is a contraindication for hearing prosthetics, since wearing a hearing aid can provoke seizures. In such cases, careful prosthetics with digital devices with automatic gain control are recommended.

Why is it not always possible to use an intracanal device, which is completely invisible?

There are a number of reasons why you may not be able to use an in-the-canal hearing aid:

severe hearing loss (over III degree inclusive), for which the power of the in-the-canal hearing aid is not enough to compensate
chronic purulent otitis, in which the intracanal device quickly (in 1-2 months) fails
individual structural features of the ear canal (too straight, too narrow)
small volume of the ear canal, which does not allow to achieve the desired cosmetic effect
a sharp decrease in vision, trembling of the hands, which make it difficult to use the in-ear hearing aid due to its small size
the need to regularly provide an in-the-canal hearing aid for free preventive maintenance to qualified professionals

On which ear should the device be worn?

If you have bilateral hearing loss, you should wear the hearing aid in the ear with the best hearing for better speech intelligibility. In this case, it should be borne in mind that the other ear (the one on which there is no hearing aid) degrades faster. More physiological is binaural prosthetics, when the hearing aid is selected for both the right and left ears.

Why do hearing aids whistle?

The hearing aid whistles when amplified sound enters the microphone, so the main purpose of the earmold is to seal the ear canal and prevent the amplified sound from escaping. When the hearing aid is turned on (even before it is installed on the ear), a whistle occurs, which indicates that the device is working. Once you put the device on your ear, whistling only occurs when the earmould is not properly fitted or is not firmly inserted into the ear canal. The domestic industry mass-produces inexpensive universal ear tips of several sizes with a round cross section. The real ear canal in most people is either elliptical or slit-shaped in cross section. An earmold with a round section either deforms itself or deforms the ear canal. In both cases, the sealing of the ear canal is poor and the hearing aid whistles. In addition, the material of universal liners hardens quite quickly and ceases to perform its functions. To reliably eliminate whistling, it is recommended to use individual earmoulds that accurately reproduce the impression of the ear canal.

There is an unpleasant whistle in my hearing aid, what could be the reason for this?

The most common cause of whistling in hearing aids is the wrong position of the ear valve in the ear or improper fitting.

In this case, the sealing of the ear canal is broken, which is exactly what the earmould should provide. As a result, external sounds, when they enter the CA microphone, instead of being further transmitted to the ear, come out in the form of amplified sound outside through the “slits” formed between the ear canal and the ear. This is where the annoying whistling sounds come from.

Note that the same whistle also occurs when you turn on the hearing aid before inserting it into your ear. This sound in this case indicates that the SA is working.

When using many domestic hearing aids, this problem occurs quite often. Especially in cases of choosing standard devices. Their earplugs cannot exactly replicate the structure of the ear canal, even though their size can be chosen. As a result, the sealing is at a satisfactory level, and possible "gaps" provoke a whistle.

Hearing aid constantly whistling

The cost is different - depends on the material, company and city. Approximately 900 rubles.

As a variation, the apparatus is a little weak for you, it is set to high gain, but it does not cope. I myself had such a thing that you make the device louder, and in response it starts to whistle.

I think that in the most extreme case, you need to cast aside shame and go to the store, after all, they are specialists, and here people wear the same device for 10 years, which they are used to. if you think that it's not about the earbuds, then in the presence of a specialist, remove and put on the device, demonstrate your problem.

And if it fell out, then it's even more time to change the liner.

Not everyone knows how to correctly insert and pull out the liner along with the C / A. And the audiologist said it right.

To whistle at all - this does not happen to me!

Infection whistles.

Hearing prosthetists explain to me

It looks like my problem is turning into a chronic one ((((((((((((. I bought a Videx mind the other day, since Inteo died completely. I bought Inteo in 2008. And problems with whistling immediately began. They even made a cast from the ear, sent abroad to make an insert from something super-duper - it didn’t help. Then they solved the problem by installing a thicker tube in the insert. (I suppose they changed the settings with high frequencies) Now it’s the same with the new device. I don’t hear this whistle, which is the most sucks. Hears the environment.

Hearing prosthetists explain to me

Weird! Usually, all new digital CAs just muffle all the "closing" whistles. That's what I was told when I bought it. There is no whistle at all. Maybe my earbud is successful in my configuration of the ear canal. Go ahead and pull the CA sellers. Good luck to you!

If you can't hear the feedback signal (and it should be strong enough to pass from the sound outlet in the earbud to the microphones of the device with a certain sound pressure), then reducing the treble boost should not impair speech intelligibility, since you still do not hear sounds at these frequencies through the apparatus. If you have high thresholds at high frequencies, you should try the audibility range extender (frequency transposition) as a separate program.

What model of mind device do you have?

Was a feedback test carried out when setting up the device?

I don't know what a feedback test is and how to tell if it was done or not.

But there are situations when I myself do not hear, but others hear.

model mind 440 m, 19. already changed to Phonek Naida S V SP. not at all happy / Probably, those who say that after Videx it is difficult to switch to other devices are right. But apparently the feedback suppression in Videx does not work well enough, on my ear in particular.

In general, at first they didn’t want to change me, they said that,

"Nothing whistles, where did you get it?" "That's your ear," "That's your problem."

It just started to piss me off, I've been going to you for 15 years, I bought 4 or five devices from you that I had in my life,

and that I look like an idiot who paid 60 thousand,

comes to tell the "fairy tale" about the whistle. (well, of course, I didn’t express it that way, only in my thoughts.)

Then I once again took time off from work, came, and I say, I insist on replacing the SA.

Moreover, before this arrival, the device whistled in my ear for almost the entire week.

They agreed to change it, with a hint that I allegedly scratched it for a month of wearing the new SA, and you have to pay for it.

Yes, I say, my ears are covered with thorns. How not to scratch!

Changed to Naida S V SP. Moreover, the doctor dropped the words - you still won’t hear anything in it.

I put on the device and returned to work. In the office, I immediately noticed that the sound was different. And precisely the fact that "you will not hear anything"

Basically, I don't know what to do.

1-Buy a new Inteo, which remained in Moscow centers in single copies

2-Get used to this device.

Another of the main important components is a competent otoplast, which will make a competent cast, process it competently, and make a competent insert (let alone the ICA).

As far as I know, the feedback test on ipfg is very well organized on Fonak, I saw how it is done, I don’t know about it on Videx (although it should be good on Mind), I know for sure the most powerful feedback stopper on Siemens (in this regard, the leader, so far 🙂).

#11 Vasilisa

I smile a lot, I joke, I laugh. A rather mobile ear. And they say that's why the insert

easily comes out of the ear.

the last videox whistled constantly, as I didn’t press the liner into my ear. I even got a sore

phonek does not whistle.

but it's really hard for him.

I bought in Melfon. I don’t want to denigrate them somehow,

but recent events just finished off.

the only normal person is Andrey Borisovich Kozlov.

but they have a policy that the doctor from whom he bought should set up.

and I urgently bought from another doctor, as the device broke down.

So Andrey Borisovich agreed that he whistles loudly, although the apparatus is in good order.

and said that he probably just does not suit me.

#12 bartek

sensations as if this is a videox program, a range extender. a feeling that all high sounds, hissing, cleaning, overlap the voices

In modern Fonac devices, the frequency compression function (sound recover) is used, similar to the frequency transposition function in the Videx audibility range expander. Moreover, sound recover in Fonak devices is enabled by default. Ask a tuner to reduce the frequency compression ratio.

with the same tube and insert - nothing whistled. So I think: is there something wrong with the device, maybe?

what insert do you have? often whistles from the standard one, you need to make an individual ear liner for your ear shell. then the whistle will disappear

It's been a whole year! I've almost never been here. I work a lot.

I HAD to get used to the new device Naida 5 after Videx.

I say I had to, because I still don’t feel that this is not my device.

In Videx I felt happier).

And to explain their feelings, quite difficult

probably the biggest plus is DOES NOT WHISTLE. and doesn't make me feel stupid.

Everything else is the sound of music, TV, communication in large rooms, in noisy rooms. and much more all that. non-native, in comparison with Videx.

But at the same time, I think

that if I put on Videx now, then "breaking" will occur again, again everything will seem unusual (by the way, I will have to try)

I think that Inteo-19 is better for my hearing, but so far there has been nothing.

The whole disease of Videx is that he whistles.

If the manufacturer manages to improve the feedback suppression system.

Vasilisa, you completely described my feelings)))) I switched from inteo-19 to fonak, then for half a year I gnashed my teeth from the fact that I could not get used to new sounds, and especially to my voice, it seemed to me somehow alien and not native , it seemed to me that there is nothing better than inteo-19)))) now 1.5 years have passed since I wear an ambergris flashlight, for me at the moment it is the best device in the world))) with a flashlight I have a lot of pluses and one minus, not I’ve been wearing an inteo for a long time, I listened to sounds in it, speech, and so, now I’m amazed at how I graduated from the institute with it)))) By the way, my inteo didn’t whistle, but the flashlight whistles for some reason (((I realized one thing that to The flashlight needs time to get used to it and feel all its advantages.

Over time, any mechanism, including the most modern electronic device, can fail. But far from always problems that have arisen require the participation of a master, sometimes restoring the device's performance is within its power and by itself.

This statement is also true in relation to hearing aids, since minor problems occur at any stage of operation. What faults can we fix ourselves?

The hearing aid does not turn on:
- The most likely cause is insufficient battery power, so all that needs to be done is to install a new battery.
- Sometimes when installing the battery, the polarity is not observed. In this case, it is enough to first remove and then insert the battery correctly.
The hearing aid is buzzing or buzzing:
- The charge is running out. The battery needs to be replaced.
- The reason may also be a loose fit of the lid of the box where the batteries are located. It is necessary to close the cover carefully, in order to avoid breakage of fasteners.
The hearing aid emits a weak signal, or is completely silent:
- Check if the hearing aid is in working mode. If not, enable it.
- There is a possibility that the volume level is at a minimum. Turn up the volume.
- Another possible cause is a loose fit between the in-the-ear hearing aid or the BTE earmold and the ear canal. Remove and install the internal device again.
- It happens that the hearing aid is clogged with earwax, so it will need to be cleaned and, possibly, a subsequent consultation and adjustment with an audiologist.
The hearing aid is whistling:
- This effect often occurs at excessively high volume levels. Reduce the volume of the unit using the appropriate device.
- The cause may also be the release of earwax that has accumulated in the ear canal or got into the hearing aid. All that needs to be done is to carry out hygiene procedures and clean the device itself. If necessary, you can seek the help of an audiologist.
The hearing aid transmits intermittent or distorted sounds:
- Often the reason is the high volume level. Lower it.
- It is possible that the battery life has exhausted itself. Use a new battery.

Another popular question is why does the hearing aid make noise?

There are several ways to solve this problem: set the minimum frequency level on the existing device or choose another less powerful hearing aid.
