Uzizwa sengathi unenkinga yokuzwa kancane? Noma ingabe othile oseduze nawe unale nkinga? Kungenzeka ukuthi uke wezwa ngezinsizakuzwa. Kodwa mhlawumbe unemibuzo eminingi mayelana nokuthi ziyini ngempela nokuthi ungayikhetha kanjani eyodwa. Ungakhathazeki, sizoxoxa ngakho konke lokhu kalula.

Izinto okufanele uzicabangele ngaphambi kokukhetha insiza yokuzwa

Ukukhetha insiza yokuzwa akufani nokukhetha izibuko. Kunezinto ezimbalwa okufanele uzicabangele. Nazi ezinye zazo:

• Izinga lokulahlekelwa kwakho ukuzwa: Lokhu kusho ukuthi unenkinga yokuzwa ephansi, ephakathi nendawo, enzima, noma ejulile. Lokhu kubaluleke kakhulu.
• Usayizi kanye nokuma kwezindlebe zakho: Akuzona izindlebe zawo wonke umuntu ezifanayo, ngakho-ke udinga ukukhetha eyodwa efanelana kahle nezindlebe zakho.
• Ubuchwepheshe bakho bezandla: Ezinye izinsiza zokuzwa zincane futhi zidinga ukushukunyiswa kancane ukuze uzifake, uzikhiphe, futhi ushintshe amabhethri. Ngakho-ke udinga futhi ukucabangela ukuthi ukhululekile kangakanani ngazo.
• Ingabe zikhona izinsiza zokuzwa eziza nobuchwepheshe obusha: Ezinye zalezo eziphuma manje ziza nezinto ezifana ne-'Bluetooth®', zingaxhunywa efonini yakho. Ezinye 'ziyashajwa kabusha'. Ngakho-ke kuhle ukuqaphela izinto ezintsha ezinjengalezi.
• Okuthandayo: Okokugcina, kubalulekile futhi ukukhetha eyodwa oyithandayo futhi okulula ukuyisebenzisa.

Zingaki izinhlobo zezinsiza zokuzwa ezikhona?

Kalula nje, kunezinhlobo ezinhlanu eziyinhloko zezinsiza zokuzwa. Ake sibheke ukuthi ziyini, zisebenza kanjani, nokuthi zifanelekela obani kangcono.

1. Ngemuva Kwendlebe (BTE)

Lolu uhlobo oluvame kakhulu abantu abaningi abalubonile. Njengoba igama lisho, lugqokwa ngemuva kwendlebe. Ingxenye eyinhloko yensiza yokuzwa ingemuva kwendlebe, lapho ipayipi elincane, noma 'isikhunta sendlebe' esenzelwe indlebe yakho ngqo, lingena khona emgudwini wendlebe. Lokhu kungasetshenziswa kubantu abanokulahlekelwa ukuzwa okuncane kuya kokujulile. Kodwa-ke, ngoba kunezingxenye eziningana, kudinga ikhono elincane lesandla ukuze ulifake futhi ulikhumule kahle.

2. Endlebeni (ITE)

Lolu hlobo lwensiza yokuzwa lwenzelwe ukumboza ingxenye engaphandle yendlebe yakho (ingxenye engenalutho ngaphakathi kwe-eardrum) ngokuphelele (igobolondo eligcwele) noma ingxenye kuphela (igobolondo eliyingxenye). Lena inketho enhle, ikakhulukazi kubantu abanobunzima bokubamba izinto ezincane noma abangajwayele ukusebenzisa izandla zabo. Odokotela bavame ukuncoma lokhu kubantu abanokulahlekelwa ukuzwa okuphakathi kuya kokukhulu.

3. Isamukeli Esisendlebeni (RITE)

Lezi zifana kancane nohlobo lwe-`BTE`. Ingxenye eyinhloko yensiza yokuzwa ingemuva kwendlebe. Kodwa kusukela lapho, ucingo oluncane ludlula phezu kwe-earlobe lungene emgudwini wendlebe. Ekupheleni kwalolu cingo kukhona i-receiver (ingxenye ethumela umsindo). Le ngxenye engena emgudwini wendlebe ithambile kakhulu, futhi ayimbozi ngokuphelele umgudwini wendlebe. Abantu abaningi bathi lokhu kuzenza zizwe imisindo ngokwemvelo. Lezi zidinga futhi ikhono lokusebenzisa ngesandla. Lezi zifanele abantu abanokulahlekelwa ukuzwa okuncane kuya kokukhulu.

4. E-Canal (ITC)

Lezi zinsiza-kuzwa zenzelwe ukungena zijule kancane emgudwini wezindlebe kunohlobo lwe-`ITE`. Ngakho-ke ngokuvamile azibonakali kakhulu. Kodwa-ke, ngenxa yokuthi zincane ngobukhulu, zisebenzisa nebhethri elincane. Ngakho-ke ngezinye izikhathi kungaba nzima ukuzibamba nokuziphatha. Kuye ngesimo sakho, ungase ukwazi ukufaka uhlobo lwe -`Completely-in-the-Canal` (CIC) . Lezi zijula ​​nakakhulu, ngakho azibonakali kakhulu.

5. Uhlobo lwe-CROS/BiCROS

Ake sithi unomuzwa ojwayelekile endlebeni eyodwa, noma ukulahlekelwa ukuzwa okuncane kakhulu. Kodwa unomuzwa omncane kakhulu noma awusebenzi nhlobo kwenye indlebe. Yilapho udokotela angase ancome khona usizo lokuzwa njenge-'CROS' noma i-'BiCROS'.

Okwenzekayo ukuthi ufaka i-hearing aid endlebeni yakho engasebenzi kahle. Futhi ufaka imakrofoni eyengeziwe endlebeni yakho engasebenzi kahle. Le makrofoni ithatha umsindo ovela endlebeni embi bese iwuthumela endlebeni yakho engasebenzi kahle. Lokhu kusho ukuthi noma ngabe othile ukhuluma endlebeni embi, usengakwazi ukuwuzwa ngendlebe yakho engasebenzi kahle. I-`CROS` imele i-`Contralateral Routing of Signals``. I-`BiCROS`` imele i-`Bilateral Contralateral Routing of Signals``.

Ingabe zikhona izinsiza zokuzwa ezitholakala ngaphandle kwekhawuntara?

Yebo, lokhu kusha kancane. Ngo-Agasti 2022, i-US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) yethule umthetho omusha ukuze kube lula ukuthola izinsiza zokuzwa. Ngakho-ke, ezinye izinsiza zokuzwa zingathengwa ngaphandle kwencwadi kadokotela. Lesi simo cishe sizoshintsha eSri Lanka esikhathini esizayo, ngakho-ke kuhle ukuqaphela lokhu.

Lezi zinsiza zokuzwa ezitholakala ngaphandle kwekhawuntara zivame ukufaneleka kubantu abanokulahlekelwa ukuzwa okuncane kuya kokuphakathi. Kodwa-ke, uma ulahlekelwe ukuzwa okukhulu noma okukhulu, noma uma unezinkinga zokuzwa eziyinkimbinkimbi, kufanele nakanjani ubone udokotela, uthole izivivinyo ezidingekayo, futhi uthole ukuxilongwa okunembile nokwelashwa.

Ingabe kufanele sifunde ngamabhethri ezinsiza zokuzwa?

Kunezinhlobo ezimbili zamabhethri okusiza ukuzwa: alahlwayo nalayishwayo. Amabhethri 'alahlwayo', abukeka njengezinkinobho ezincane, awasavamile kakhulu manje.

Iningi lezinsiza zokuzwa ezintsha manje lisebenza ngamabhethri ashajwayo. Njengama-smartphone ethu namadivayisi e-Bluetooth. Uma ungasebenzisi izinsiza zakho zokuzwa, kufanele uzigcine zixhunywe kushaja noma esiteshini sokumisa esiza nayo. Ingabe lokhu akulula kakhulu?

Uhlobo luni losizo lokuzwa olufanele isimo sami?

Njengoba kunezinhlobo eziningi ezahlukene zezinsiza zokuzwa emakethe, ukukhetha efanele wena kungaba nzima kakhulu. Kodwa izindaba ezinhle ukuthi udokotela wakho noma udokotela wezindlebe angakusiza ukhethe idivayisi efanele impilo nezidingo zakho. Isibonelo:

• Kulabo abezwa ukukhala ezindlebeni (`Tinnitus`): Kunezinsiza zokuzwa eziqondene ngqo nalesi simo.
• Kubantu abanesifo sikaMeniere: Lesi yisimo lapho ukuvuvukala nokucindezeleka endlebeni yangaphakathi kuthinta khona ibhalansi nokuzwa. Kunezinketho ezitholakalayo kulabo abanaso.
• Kulabo abangakwazi ukuzwa imisindo evame kakhulu.
• Kulabo abangakwazi ukuzwa imisindo ephansi.
• Kulabo abanenkinga yokuzwa kwezinzwa: Lokhu kubangelwa umonakalo endlebeni engaphakathi.
• Kulabo abanokulahlekelwa ukuzwa okuncane kuya kokuphakathi.
• Kulabo abanenkinga enkulu yokuzwa.
• Kulabo abanenkinga enkulu yokuzwa.
• Kulabo abanekhono elincane lokusebenzisa izandla.

Kunezinhlobo zezinsiza zokuzwa eziklanyelwe ngqo noma ezifanele kakhulu kuzo zonke lezi zimo. Ngakho-ke, kungcono ukufuna iseluleko sochwepheshe kunokwenza izinqumo ngokwakho.

Kuthiwani uma insiza yami yokuzwa ingasebenzi?

Abanye abantu abatholi imiphumela efiselekayo ngezinsiza zokuzwa. Ikakhulukazi uma ulahlekelwe ukuzwa okukhulu noma okukhulu, ungase uzuze kakhulu nge-cochlear implants noma i-bone-anchored auditory implants. Lawa amadivayisi afakwe ngokuhlinzwa. Buza udokotela wakho ngalezi zindlela zokwelapha.

Kufanele ngimbone nini udokotela?

Uma ukulahlekelwa kwakho ukuzwa kuthinta impilo yakho yansuku zonke futhi kusebenza kuze kube yilapho kuphazamisa ikhono lakho lokusebenza, kufanele nakanjani ubone udokotela ukuze akunike iseluleko. Udokotela wakho anganquma ngokunembile izinga lokulahlekelwa kwakho ukuzwa futhi akutshele ukuthi izinsiza zokuzwa zingakusiza yini.

Uma usuvele usebenzisa izinsiza zokuzwa, kubalulekile ukuthi uzihlolwe ngudokotela wezindlebe okungenani kabili ngonyaka.Udokotela wezindlebe unguchwepheshe wezempilo ogxile ekuxilongeni nasekwelapheni izinkinga zokulahlekelwa ukuzwa kanye nokulinganisela. Kufanele futhi uhlolwe ukuzwa kwakho ngokushesha uma uba nezimpawu ezintsha noma ubona ushintsho ekuzweni kwakho.

Yimiphi imibuzo okufanele uyibuze udokotela?

Uma ucabanga ukuthola usizo lokuzwa, kuwumqondo omuhle ukubuza udokotela wakho le mibuzo:

• Ingabe usizo lokuzwa luzongisiza ngempela ngokulahlekelwa kwami ​​ukuzwa?
• Hlobo luni losizo lokuzwa olungincomayo?
• Kuzokwenzekani uma ngingenzi lutho ngalokhu?

Ngaphezu kwale mibuzo, ungesabi ukubuza noma yini ongayicabanga. Kubaluleke kakhulu ukususa konke ukungabaza kwakho.

Okokugcina, izinto ezimbalwa okufanele uzikhumbule (Umyalezo Wokuya Ekhaya)

Ukukhetha insiza yokuzwa kungase kubonakale kuyinkimbinkimbi, kodwa akunzima kangako ngesiqondiso esifanele.
