The characteristics of Reduced Hearing

Hearing tends to deteriorate with age. Hearing problems usually occur in both ears. Even changes in hearing can be started from early adulthood onwards. Here are the characteristics of decreased hearing.

Teenagers are able to hear very high pitched voice, but the ability began to disappear when entering the age of 30 years. And without the sense of well-functioning, causing every activity in daily life becomes more difficult.

Whatever the cause of the decline in sensory sensory function, but there are quite a lot of ways you can do to prevent the decline in sensory function. There are now digital hearing aids are modern. Hearing aids are very effective and very discrete.

Age-related hearing loss is called presbyacusis and usually due to degeneration of the auditory nerve and organs of the inner ear.

This is a gradual loss of hair-like small cells in the inner ear that acts as a sensor to detect sound waves. It can also be exacerbated by damage to blood vessels, especially when someone has a condition such as atherosclerosis or high blood pressure.

Occasionally the sound waves can not be done easily through the auditory system. This is likely due to damage to the small bones in the middle ear.

Characteristics of hearing loss due to aging, among others:

1. Often felt first when they hear speech sounds, especially the higher-pitched consonants which can no longer be detected or distorted.

The distortion sound can cause a murmur and slurred, especially the sound of women and children, who have a higher voice.

2. Often also a person with impaired hearing to respond to loud noises annoying or uncomfortable.

3. Increasingly difficult to hear if there is more than one speaker, or in a noisy environment.

Some people suffer more because of genetic presbyacusis, but a history of exposure to loud noise during life also causes a lot of damage. In addition to genetic factors, other factors that could cause presbyacusis, among others:

1. Chronic middle ear infections
2. Use of certain drugs in the long term
3. Osteoporosis

Presbyacusis would worsen and decrease in hearing is likely to quit around the age of 70 years. As quoted from BBCHealth, Friday (11/04/2011), things can be done to address the decline in auditory function associated with age, among others:

1. See a doctor immediately if any change or decrease in visual function.
2. Finding out about services support other devices such as hearing and telephone amplifiers.
3. Ask your doctor to check the condition of post-use wax ear (ear candles), which may exacerbate the problem.
4. Always protect and keep the ear, avoiding loud noises and using headphones with caution.

I've become my parents

The alternate dimension my son calls reality

OK, son, let’s discuss reality. Both of them: yours and mine.

See, mine is the one in which money doesn’t miraculously appear just because we want to spend it. In my reality dogs don’t like when kids try to ride them across the living room; fish actually die if you choose not to feed them; and in my reality your bedtime is not, nor has it ever been, midnight.

Your reality is, well, whatever you want it to be at the time.

Case in point:

Hey son, don’t hit the dog.

I didn’t.

Yes, you did. I just watched you do it.

That wasn’t a hit.

What do you mean it wasn’t a hit? What else would you call it?

It was a pat. I patted him.

That wasn’t a pat!

Yes it was.

No. No it wasn’t. A pat doesn’t hurt.

Yes it does. A pat is supposed to hurt.

Since when?

Since always.

Oh, really? Well, then what do you call a hit?

This is a hit.

Ouch! That’s not a hit. That’s a kick.

Nuh uh.

What are you talking about? You can’t just– You know what? I don’t care what you want to call it, just don’t do it!

But he likes it.

He doesn’t like it. He—Argh!

…………..

OK, I see what you did there. I just spent 20 minutes in a silly argument about the meaning of the word “hit” instead of punishing you for doing whatever it is you call what you did.

You, my son, are either brilliant or you’re living proof that alternate dimensions do indeed exist. I’m pretty sure it’s the latter, which should make string theorists pretty excited.

Don’t get me wrong, I like your reality; it’s way more interesting than mine. It’s just that mine seems to be the one everyone else is in.

You’re Wrong

There is a nice piece about confidence from Daniel Kahneman in last week’s New York Times Magazine. It’s definitely worth a read before you head into your next negotiation. Especially if you happen to think you’re 100% right and they’re 100% wrong.

Your best friend, your brain, has to sift through a lot of information in any given day, even when you’re not in the midst of a Halloween Movie horror-o-thon. Part of how it figures out how to process all of that information is by chunking it up into smaller bits. Those smaller bits are accepted or rejected as important based on whether your brain deems them to be valuable. Rather than closely analyze each bit, your brain uses short cuts; heuristics in fancy psychological language. The theory of interest based negotiations finds its origin in a paper Kahneman and Amos Tversky did on judgement and decision making heuristics in 1974.

But back to that part about how you’re wrong.

Your brain is very invested in its little process working, so when it gets a piece of information that seems to contradict an opinion you hold near and dear, an opinion that your brain helped form with its selective chunking, it rejects it. Full on Jedi “These Are Not The Droids You’re Looking For” rejects it. Your brain protects you from the horrible realization that you might very well be wrong.

Which means you aren’t rational. Even when you try especially hard to be.

That also means that neither is the other side in any negotiation you’re having. They are reacting to what they believe, what their brain has told them, to be right. And if you insist on persuading them by telling them that they are wrong because you are right, you will get nowhere and fast.

So don’t. Show them how your solution makes sense from their perspective. Use your knowledge of their interests, needs, wants and desires to present your argument in a way their brain is more likely to accept as valuable. Use their brain to make your argument.
