Do You Hear What I Hear?

What if you can’t hear the doorbell ring, a baby cry or your spouse say “I love you”? It’s a scary thought and it’s a reality for millions of Americans who suffer from hearing loss or impairment.

Shawnae Jebbia, Miss USA 1998, has become a courageous spokesperson for those suffering from hearing impairment. After being crowned at age 27, she had a bright future and even landed her own fitness show on ESPN. Then things started to unravel when she started to lose her hearing. Eventually, she was diagnosed with the onset of Meniere’s disease and had to rethink her goals of being on television. Without the ability to communicate, her career path was not only altered, but entirely uncertain.

Ten years later, Shawnae has a new lease on life thanks to the Siemens Pure® 700 with Tek™ hearing aids which enable her to talk on her cell phone, listen to the television without closed captions and function in a way that is life enhancing rather than debilitating.

According to Angela Flores from Siemens Hearing Instruments Inc., the technology and lifestyle solutions for hearing impairments have improved substantially in regards to sound quality, features and appearance. Furthermore, it is not just a problem that is associated with aging, as highlighted by Shawnae’s story.

There are many factors that may affect or cause adult hearing loss, including:

• Long-term exposure to noise
• Heredity
• Illness
• Reactions to medications or treatments
• Injury
• Ear Wax
• Aging
