Why Hearing Aids Fall Out
Wrong dome size — too small for your ear canal
Ear canal shape change — weight loss, aging, or jaw movement
Incorrect insertion angle
Excessive earwax making the canal slippery
Worn or damaged dome that has lost its shape
Sweating making the ear canal slippery
Standard dome when custom mold is needed
Solutions for a Better Fit
Try a larger dome size — our audiologists can fit you with the right size
Try a different dome style (open vs closed vs double dome)
Switch to a custom ear mold for the most secure fit possible
Learn the correct insertion technique from our audiologists
Use sport locks or retention clips for active use
Clean ear canal before inserting to remove excess oils
If using BTE — check if the tube length is correct
How Hearing Loss Affects Daily Life
Hearing loss impacts more than just the ability to hear sounds. It affects communication, relationships, work performance, mental health, and overall quality of life. In Pakistan, where family gatherings, busy markets, and social interactions are central to daily life, hearing loss can be especially isolating.
Common Causes of Hearing Loss in Pakistan
Cause | Type of Hearing Loss | Preventable? | Common in Pakistan? |
Aging (Presbycusis) | Sensorineural | Not fully — manageable with hearing aids | Very common (60+ age group) |
Noise Exposure | Sensorineural | Yes — use hearing protection | Very common (traffic, factories) |
Ear Infections (Otitis Media) | Conductive | Yes — treat infections early | Common in children |
Genetic Factors | Sensorineural or Mixed | No — but early detection helps | Moderate |
Ototoxic Medications | Sensorineural | Yes — discuss with doctor | Moderate |
Head Trauma | Conductive or Mixed | Yes — wear safety equipment | Less common |
Earwax Blockage | Conductive | Yes — professional ear cleaning | Very common |
Signs You Should Get a Hearing Test
Frequently asking others to repeat themselves, especially in group conversations
Turning up the TV or phone volume higher than others find comfortable
Difficulty understanding speech in noisy environments like restaurants or family gatherings
Feeling that people are mumbling or speaking too softly
Avoiding social situations because of difficulty hearing
Ringing, buzzing, or hissing sounds in your ears (tinnitus)
Difficulty hearing doorbells, phone ringtones, or car horns
Treatment Options Available in Pakistan
Treatment | Best For | Available at PHS | Effectiveness |
Hearing Aids | Most hearing loss types | Yes — full Signia range | Highly effective |
Ear Wax Removal | Conductive loss from wax | Yes | Immediate improvement |
Medical Treatment | Ear infections, conditions | Referral provided | Depends on condition |
Surgical Options | Specific conductive cases | Referral to ENT | Case-dependent |
Tinnitus Management | Ringing/buzzing in ears | Yes — Signia notch therapy | Significant relief |
Do Not Ignore Hearing Loss
Research shows that untreated hearing loss is linked to cognitive decline, dementia, depression, social isolation, and increased fall risk. The longer hearing loss goes untreated, the harder it becomes for the brain to process speech. Early intervention with hearing aids preserves brain health and keeps you connected to the people and world around you.
