He aha nā hoʻokolohua a me nā lāʻau lapaʻau a lākou e hana ai?

Hana nā mea hoʻolohe pepeiao i kēia mau mea ma ke ʻano he ʻāpana o kā lākou hana:

He mea kēia e huikau ai ka poʻe he nui. He loea pepeiao, ihu, a me ka ʻāʻī ke kauka ENT (`(Otolaryngologist)`). He mau kauka lākou e nānā a mālama i nā maʻi like ʻole e pili ana i ka pepeiao, ihu, a me ka ʻāʻī. Hiki iā lākou ke kuhikuhi i nā lāʻau lapaʻau a hana i nā ʻoki kino.

Eia nō naʻe, he mea hoʻolohe pepeiao kekahi kanaka nāna e mālama mua i ka nalowale o ka lohe a me nā pilikia kaulike e kū nei i loko o ka pepeiao .

Hiki i ke kauka ENT ke nānā inā he kumu olakino ma lalo no kou mau pilikia lohe a i ʻole ke kaulike. Inā loaʻa, hiki iā ia ke kuhikuhi i ka lāʻau lapaʻau a ʻōlelo paha i ke ʻoki kino. I kekahi manawa, hiki i ke kauka ENT ke kuhikuhi iā ʻoe i kahi loea lohe no kahi hoʻāʻo lohe a i ʻole ka hoʻāʻo vestibular.

Āhea wau e ʻike ai i kahi loea pepeiao?

Hiki paha iā ʻoe ke noʻonoʻo e ʻike i kahi audiologist inā loaʻa iā ʻoe kekahi o kēia mau mea:

• Inā ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke lohe a pilikia paha i ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana i ka mea a haʻi e ʻōlelo nei.

E noʻonoʻo e makemake ana kou kupuna wahine e hoʻokiʻekiʻe i ka leo o ke TV, a i kāu kamaʻilio ʻana, nīnau mau ʻo ia, "He aha kāu i ʻōlelo mai nei?" I kēlā hihia, he manaʻo maikaʻi e kuhikuhi iā ia i kahi loea lohe.

Inā kānalua ʻoe inā pono ʻoe e ʻike i kahi loea lohe pepeiao, e ʻike i kāu mea mālama ola mua . E nānā ʻo ia iā ʻoe a kuhikuhi iā ʻoe i ke kauka lapaʻau āu e pono ai.

He aha kāu e manaʻo ai i kou wā e kipa aku ai i kahi audiologist?

Ke ʻike mua ʻoe i kahi mea hoʻolohe pepeiao, hiki iā lākou ke hana i kēia mau mea:

• E nīnau ʻia kāu mōʻaukala olakino: nā mea e like me nā maʻi ma mua, nā lāʻau lapaʻau āu i loaʻa ai, a pēlā aku. E nīnau ʻia paha ʻoe e pili ana i ka mōʻaukala olakino o kou ʻohana.

E nānā lākou i nā mea e like me ka hōʻiliʻili ʻana o ka pehu pepeiao a me nā hōʻailona kino e hōʻike ana i kahi pilikia lohe. Ma muli o kāu mau hōʻailona, ​​​​hiki iā lākou ke hana i nā hoʻokolohua lohe a i ʻole nā ​​​​hoʻokolohua kaulike.
• Wehewehe i nā hopena hoʻāʻo: Kālailai i nā hopena hoʻāʻo a wehewehe pehea lākou e pili ai i kou olakino.
• Kūkākūkā i nā ʻanuʻu aʻe: Ma muli o nā hopena o ka hoʻāʻo, hiki i ke kauka lohe ke ʻōlelo aku i nā hoʻāʻo hou aʻe. E kamaʻilio lākou me ka poʻe me nā pilikia lohe a i ʻole ke kaulike, a i kekahi manawa ko lākou poʻe mālama, e hāʻawi i nā koho e kōkua ai i ka mālama ʻana i ke kūlana.

He aha nā nīnau e pono iaʻu e nīnau aku i kaʻu audiolog?

ʻO ka mea hope loa, nā mea e hoʻomanaʻo ai

He mea nui ka hiki ke lohe maikaʻi a kamaʻilio pū me nā poʻe ʻē aʻe no ka hoʻomau ʻana i ka pili ʻana me ke ao nei. Pēlā nō hoʻi ka hiki ke mālama i ke kaulike me ka ʻole o ka manaʻo poniuniu. Hiki i nā loea pepeiao ke kōkua iā ʻoe me kēia mau mea ʻelua.

Inā he pilikia kou lohe a i ʻole kekahi o kou ʻohana, e ʻike pono i kahi loea lohe. Inā pilikia pinepine ʻoe i ka mālama ʻana i kou kaulike, e noʻonoʻo pū i kēlā. Hiki i kāu kauka ʻohana ke ʻōlelo aku i kahi loea lohe maikaʻi nāu.
