About The Hearing Matters Podcast

The Hearing Matters Podcast discusses hearing technology (more commonly known as hearing aids), best practices, and a growing epidemic: Hearing Loss. The show is hosted by father and son - Blaise Delfino, M.S. - HIS and Dr. Gregory Delfino, CCC-A. Blaise Delfino and Dr. Gregory Delfino treat patients with hearing loss, tinnitus, and Central Auditory Processing Disorder at Audiology Services, located in Bethlehem, Nazareth, and East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania. 

On this episode, we interview one of our very own patients, Mr. Coppee.  Mr. Coppee came into the office about a year ago, struggling with hearing loss where we fit him with Oticon Opn hearing aids. Mr. Coppee worked in the HVAC field, often finding himself in loud and noisy environments for nearly 50 years, being one of the main reasons for his hearing loss. With his hearing technology, Mr. Coppee loves to hear life’s story, spending more time with his many grandchildren and loving wife.

On this episode we discuss:

·         The impact of hearing technology

·         The benefits of being a family-owned practice

·         The lack of hearing protection prevalent in loud working environments

·         Hearing loss linked to loud working environments

·         Conducting Speech in Noise (SPIN) testing

·         Spreading hearing healthcare awareness

·         Hearing Loss linked to Diabetes

·         Advice for those who may be hesitant to get their hearing checked

How Do Loud Environments Affect Your Hearing?

A one-time exposure to extreme loud sound or listening to loud sounds for a long time can cause hearing loss. Loud noise can damage cells and membranes in the cochlea. Listening to loud noise for an extended amount of time can overwork the hair cells in the ear, which cause these cells to die.

If you or a loved one is experiencing hearing loss, make an appointment with an audiologist or hearing healthcare provider. It is essential to visit a professional. At Audiology Services, we believe that hearing technology should be fit by a licensed professional.
