Ua manaʻo anei ʻoe i kēia? Ke kamaʻilio ʻoe me kou ʻohana, manaʻo ʻoe ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke lohe maopopo i kā lākou e ʻōlelo nei. Pono ʻoe e hoʻāla i ke TV me ka leo nui loa. A i ʻole manaʻo ʻoe e wili ana kou poʻo ke kū ʻoe i luna, a i ʻole manaʻo ʻoe e wili ana nā mea a puni ʻoe. He mea hoʻonāukiuki loa ka noho ʻana me kēia ʻano pilikia. Akā manaʻo ka poʻe he nui he mau mea maʻamau kēia a poina iā lākou. Aia kekahi loea e hiki ke kōkua me kēia ʻano pilikia. ʻO ia ka mea a mākou e kamaʻilio nei i kēia lā.
ʻO wai kēia loea lohe?
I ka ʻōlelo maʻalahi, he loea mālama ola kino ka mea lohe pepeiao e loea ana i nā pilikia e pili ana i ko kākou lohe a me ke kaulike. Ua like lākou me nā kauka, akā ʻo kā lākou hana kūikawā ka noiʻi hohonu ʻana i nā ʻōnaehana lohe a me ke kaulike i loko o ka pepeiao.
E nānā lākou i kou nalowale o ka lohe, ke kani ʻana o kou mau pepeiao, a me ka poniuniu pinepine, e ʻike i ke kumu, a kōkua iā ʻoe e hoʻokele iā lākou. E hāʻawi pū lākou iā ʻoe i nā ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo no ka pale ʻana i kēia mau kūlana mai ka hanana ʻana.
E noʻonoʻo e pili ana i ia mea, ʻo ko kākou lohe a me ka ʻike ka mea e hoʻopili ai iā kākou i ko kākou ao. Pono kākou i ko kākou mau pepeiao e hiki ai ke kamaʻilio me kekahi, e hoʻolohe i kahi mele, a i ʻole e hauʻoli i ka lohe ʻana i kahi manu. Pēlā nō, pono ko kākou kino e kaulike pono e hele a hana i nā hana me ka ʻole o nā pilikia. Kōkua kahi loea pepeiao iā ʻoe e mālama i kēia mau hiki ʻelua.
Mālama lākou i nā kānaka o nā makahiki āpau. ʻO ia hoʻi, hiki i nā mea āpau mai kahi pēpē hānau hou, a i kahi keiki e hele ana i ke kula, kahi ʻōpio, a i kahi kupuna wahine a kupuna kāne paha ke loaʻa i kā lākou lawelawe.
Hiki iā ʻoe ke loaʻa pinepine i kahi audiologist ma nā wahi e like me kēia:
- Ma nā haukapila a me nā keʻena lapaʻau
- Ma nā kula a me nā kulanui
- Ma nā kikowaena hoʻōla hou
- Ma nā hale mālama a me nā kikowaena mālama
He aha ka mea e kōkua ai ke audiologist?
He loea hoʻolohe ka mea loea pepeiao, no laila mālama nui lākou i nā kūlana e pili ana i nā kaʻina hana e hana ʻia ana i loko o ka pepeiao. E nānā kākou i kēlā mau mea.
| Kūlana | He wehewehe maʻalahi |
|---|---|
| Poho lohe | Hiki ke kumu kēia i nā kumu like ʻole. No ka laʻana, mālama lākou i kekahi ʻano o ka nalowale o ka lohe, e like me ka nalowale o ka lohe maoli me ka ʻelemakule (presbycusis) , ka nalowale o ka lohe i hoʻokumu ʻia e ka hōʻino ʻana i nā aʻalolo i loko o ka pepeiao ma muli o ka ʻike ʻana i ka walaʻau nui (sensorineural hearing loss) , a i ʻole ka nalowale o ka lohe ma ke ʻano he hopena ʻaoʻao o kekahi mau lāʻau lapaʻau (ototoxicity) . |
| Ke kani ʻana i nā pepeiao (Tinnitus) | Ke lohe mau nei ʻoe i kahi leo "kani" a i ʻole ka hū ʻana i loko o kou pepeiao, ʻoiai inā ʻaʻohe leo a puni ʻoe? Hiki i kahi loea pepeiao ke kōkua iā ʻoe e mālama i kēia kūlana. |
| Nā Maʻi Hana Hoʻolohe (APD) | He ʻano paʻakikī kēia kūlana. ʻO ka mea e hana ʻia ma ʻaneʻi, hiki i kou mau pepeiao ke lohe maikaʻi i nā leo, ʻo ia hoʻi, ʻaʻohe pilikia me kou lohe ʻana. Akā, paʻakikī i kou lolo ke hoʻomaopopo, hoʻokaʻawale, a me ka ʻike ʻana i nā leo āu e lohe ai. No ka laʻana, i ka wā e kamaʻilio ana kahi hui o ka poʻe, ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke lohe i ka mea a kekahi e ʻōlelo nei. |
| Nā pilikia poʻo a me ke kaulike (Nā maʻi Vestibular) | Hoʻomalu ʻia ke kaulike o ko mākou kino e kahi ʻōnaehana koʻikoʻi loa i loko o ka pepeiao (ka ʻōnaehana vestibular) . Inā hewa kekahi mea me kēia, manaʻo mākou he poʻo hina a poʻo māmā paha. Hiki i kahi loea pepeiao ke mālama i nā kūlana maʻamau e like me ka Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV), kahi e hoʻoulu ai i ka manaʻo wili ke hoʻohuli ʻoe i kou poʻo i ke kū ʻana. |
He aha ka ʻokoʻa ma waena o ke kauka ENT a me ke kauka Audiologist?
He mea kēia e huikau ai nā kānaka he nui. ʻO ke kauka ENT kekahi mea nāna e mālama i nā pepeiao, no laila he aha ka ʻokoʻa ma waena o kahi audiologist a me kahi ENT?
E like me kēia:
He kauka ENT (Otolaryngologist) he kauka loea i ka mālama ʻana i nā maʻi o ka pepeiao, ka ihu, a me ka ʻāʻī . Hiki iā lākou ke ʻike i ke kumu o kou ʻano, kuhikuhi i nā lāʻau lapaʻau , a hana i nā ʻoki kino.
He loea ka audiologist i ka lohe a me ke kaulike.He kanaka loea i kēlā ʻāpana wale nō. ʻAʻole lākou e hana i ke ʻoki kino a i ʻole e kuhikuhi i nā lāʻau lapaʻau. ʻO kā lākou hana, ʻo ia ke hana i nā hoʻokolohua kikoʻī, e ʻike pono i kāu pilikia lohe a i ʻole ke kaulike, a kōkua iā ʻoe e hoʻokele iā ia. ʻO ia hoʻi ke kau ʻana i nā mea kōkua lohe a me ke aʻo ʻana iā ʻoe i nā hoʻomaʻamaʻa kikoʻī.
Hana pū kēia mau mea ʻelua e kōkua kekahi i kekahi. Hiki i ke kauka ENT ke kuhikuhi iā ʻoe i kahi loea lohe e loaʻa ai kahi hōʻailona pololei o kou nalowale o ka lohe. Eia kekahi, inā hoʻoholo kahi loea lohe e pono ana kāu pilikia i ka lāʻau lapaʻau a i ʻole ke ʻoki ʻana, e kuhikuhi ʻo ia iā ʻoe i kahi kauka ENT.
I ka manawa hea ʻoe e ʻike ai i kahi audiologist?
Inā loaʻa iā ʻoe kekahi a ʻoi aku paha o nā hōʻailona ma lalo nei, he manaʻo maikaʻi e ʻike i kahi loea pepeiao no ka ʻōlelo aʻo.
- He mea paʻakikī iā ʻoe ke hoʻomaopopo i ka mea a haʻi e ʻōlelo nei? ʻOiai ma kahi piha kanaka, pono pinepine ʻoe e noi i kekahi e "ʻōlelo hou" me ka hiki ʻole ke lohe maopopo i kā lākou e ʻōlelo nei?
- Pono anei ʻoe e hoʻokiʻekiʻe nui i ka leo ma ke TV a i ʻole ke lekiō? Manaʻo ʻoe ʻaʻole lawa ka leo no ka poʻe ʻē aʻe o ka hale e lohe ai?
- Ke lohe mau nei ʻoe i kahi leo kani i loko o kou mau pepeiao? Ke lohe pinepine nei ʻoe i kahi mea e like me ke kani "kani" a i ʻole ke kani e like me ka makani e puhi ana?
- Ke manaʻo pinepine nei ʻoe e puni ana a i ʻole e milo ana? Ke manaʻo nei ʻoe e milo ana a puni ʻoe ke kū ʻoe i luna a huli paha ma kahi moe?
Inā loaʻa iā ʻoe kekahi o kēia mau hōʻailona, mai hoʻowahāwahā iā lākou. ʻO ka mea maikaʻi loa e hana ai, ʻo ia ke ʻike mua i kāu mea mālama ola mua. Hiki iā ia ke nānā iā ʻoe a hoʻoholo inā pono maoli ʻoe i nā lawelawe a kahi loea lohe a i ʻole kekahi loea ʻē aʻe, a laila kuhikuhi iā ʻoe.
He aha ka mea e hana ai ke hele ʻoe e ʻike i kahi audiologist?
Ke ʻike mua ʻoe i kahi loea lohe pepeiao, e hopohopo iki paha ʻoe. Akā he hana maʻalahi loa ia. ʻO ka maʻamau, e hana ʻia kekahi mau mea:
1. E kamaʻilio e pili ana i kou mōʻaukala olakino: E nīnau ʻo ia e pili ana i kou mau maʻi ma mua, nā lāʻau lapaʻau āu e lawe nei, a inā he pilikia lohe ko kekahi o kou ʻohana.
2. Nīnau e pili ana i kāu mau hōʻailona: E hoʻolohe pono ʻo ia e ʻike i nā pilikia āu e loaʻa nei, i ka wā i hoʻomaka ai, a inā paha aia mau lākou ma laila a hele mai a hele aku.
3. E nānā ʻia ʻoe: E hoʻohana lākou i kahi mea hana kūikawā (otoscope) e nānā i loko o kou pepeiao. E nānā lākou no ka pehu pepeiao a i ʻole kekahi maʻi ʻē aʻe.
4. Nā hoʻokolohua kūikawā: Ma muli o kāu mau hōʻailona, hiki ke hana ʻia nā hoʻokolohua lohe a i ʻole nā hoʻokolohua vestibular . He mau hoʻokolohua maʻalahi kēia a ʻeha ʻole.
5. Wehewehe i nā hōʻike hoʻāʻo: E wehewehe wale ʻo ia iā ʻoe i kou kūlana ma muli o nā hopena o ka hoʻāʻo.
6. Ke haʻi aku nei iā ʻoe i ka mea e hana ai ma hope: Ma muli o kou kūlana, e aʻo ʻia ʻoe inā pono ʻoe e hoʻohana i kahi mea kōkua hoʻolohe , hana i nā hoʻomaʻamaʻa kūikawā, a ʻike paha i kekahi loea ʻē aʻe.
Nā nīnau koʻikoʻi e nīnau aku ai i kahi audiologist
E like me kou ʻike ʻana i kāu kauka, ke ʻike ʻoe i kahi loea pepeiao, mai makaʻu e nīnau i kāu mau nīnau. Hiki iā ʻoe ke nīnau i nā nīnau e like me kēia:
- He aha maoli koʻu kūlana olakino?
- He aha ke kumu o koʻu nalowale ʻana o ka lohe/vertigo?
- Pehea ke koʻikoʻi o koʻu kūlana?
- He aha nā hoʻokolohua ʻē aʻe e pono iaʻu e hana?
- He aha nā lāʻau lapaʻau maikaʻi loa iaʻu?
- He aha kaʻu e hana ai ma ka home e mālama ai i kēia mau hōʻailona?
Leka Lawe-Home
- He loea ka audiologist nāna e kōkua me nā pilikia lohe a me ke kaulike.
- Inā manaʻo ʻoe ua nalowale kou lohe, ke kani mau nei kou mau pepeiao, a i ʻole ka poniuniu pinepine, e ʻike mua i kāu kauka ʻohana.
- Hiki i kahi mea loea pepeiao ke hana i nā hoʻokolohua kūikawā e ʻike ai i kāu pilikia a ʻōlelo i nā lāʻau lapaʻau e like me nā mea kōkua hoʻolohe, nā implants cochlear, a i ʻole nā hoʻomaʻamaʻa kaulike.
- Mai hoʻowahāwahā i nā pilikia lohe a i ʻole ke kaulike ma ke ʻano he ʻāpana o ke ola. Loaʻa ke kōkua. Me ka lāʻau kūpono, hiki ke hoʻomaikaʻi nui ʻia kou ʻano ola.
