When the thresholds of this type of hearing loss are graphed, they display a \u201cU\u201d shape, as if someone took a bite out of the graph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This type of hearing loss, like many others, presents symptoms that may be noticed by close friends or family first. Symptoms of cookie-bite hearing loss include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Inability to follow conversations in crowded settings, like lunch chats at Barefoot Caf\u00e9<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reduced clarity of speech<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ability to hear high-frequency sounds like birds chirping or children&#8217;s voices<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ability to hear low-frequency sounds like thunder or a man\u2019s voice<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Cookie-bite hearing loss is easily diagnosed via an audiogram and the more difficult part of diagnosis is helping the person with hearing loss to understand they should schedule a hearing test.<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Treatment Options<br><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no cure for cookie-bite hearing loss, so once diagnosed, it\u2019s important to manage the symptoms and take action to protect the remaining hearing. Ways to manage symptoms include adapting one\u2019s lifestyle in ways that allow them to hear conversations better. For instance, those with cookie-bite hearing loss can be sure to always face the speaker in conversations or during presentations. Additionally, they can practice speechreading (lip-reading).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most effective way to manage cookie-bite hearing loss is using hearing aids. <a href=\"https:\/\/aaronshearingcare.com\/hearing-aids\/\">Hearing aids <\/a>can amplify mid-frequency sounds, allowing for easier social connections. Hearing aids improve several aspects of everyday life and allow for easier navigation of hearing loss. Many hearing aids can be tailored to an individual\u2019s lifestyle and make for an effective addition to maintaining overall auditory health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s also important for individuals to protect remaining hearing health by avoiding exposure to loud noises and wearing appropriate hearing protection. Regularly scheduled hearing tests should also be a routine part of health upkeep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To schedule a hearing test for you or a loved one contact <span class=\"company-name \">Aaron&#039;s Hearing Aid &amp; Audiology Center<\/span> today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><ul class=\"related-posts\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/aaronshearingcare.com\/what-can-i-expect-during-the-hearing-aid-adjustment-period\/\" class=\"related-post\">What Can I Expect During the Hearing Aid Adjustment Period?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/aaronshearingcare.com\/a-guide-to-modern-hearing-aid-features\/\" class=\"related-post\">A Guide to Modern Hearing Aid Features<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/aaronshearingcare.com\/common-ear-issues-and-how-they-affect-your-hearing\/\" class=\"related-post\">Common Ear Issues and How They Affect Your Hearing<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cookie-bite hearing loss is a form of hearing loss when a person struggles to hear mid-range frequency sounds.
