Subject: hearing problem From: Fred Herzfeld <herzfeld@xxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 22 Mar 2012 18:47:43 -0400 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>Hello List, During this last year my hearing has worsened. My specific symptoms are: 1. I confuse certain consonants. I think I have trouble with "onset time" 2. I have trouble listening to speech in a noisy (not very) background. What test(s) can I ask to be done for 1 and for 2.? Should these be done by a MD or by an audiologist ? Can a hearing aid help to correct my problem ? Which is best (a) behind the ear (b) in the pinna (c) in the auditory meatus Manny, manny thanks, Fred ---------------------------------------------------- Fred Herzfeld, MIT class of 1954 78 Glynn Marsh Drive # 59 Brunswick, Ga. 31525 USA tel: (912) 262-1276 Web: http://alum.mit.edu/www/herzfeld
