Posted on Wed, 9 Sep 2015
Question: RESPECTED, my wife at 40 realised having hearing problem. In 2007 she started taking Evion 400 and in 2010-tests were done and took Neurokind cap for two years. Improvement a bit had been and at present she can not hear in XXXXXXX ph and also if somebody whispering to someone else in front of her. She is otherwise more or less okay. Had very acute jaundice at birth, suffered from sinusitis for years accompanied by migraine. Few days back she fell down in kitchen and her left leg was severely injured. The fingers became reverse folded-feels no toe and sometimes something moving as if. Now she is 50.

Brief Answer:
sensorinural loss- hearing aids.

Detailed Answer:


Hi,

I had gone through your question and understand your concerns that your wife is having hearing loss.


Answers and solutions for your issues (as per your reports).


1. Sensorineural hearing loss occurs due to destruction of hearing cells of inner ear and their connections. It could be due to congenital jaundice or repeated sinus infections involving the inner ear. At present scenario, oral medications will not help.

Hearing aids or cochlear implant surgery are the last therapeutic interventions will help in regaining the lost hearing.

2. Malunion (reverse folded toe and leg injuries) needs orthopedician's consultation.


Hope this answers your question, if you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.

Hello again,


Thanks for considering my answer and for your follow up.


Hearing aid type, can be decided by speech audiometry score by an audiologist.

Basic hearing aid cost starts from 15000 and cosmetic hearing aid ( inside the ear canal) will cost around 2- 4 Lakhs.

I suggest you to visit an audiologist for the same.

Take care.
