What is BrainHearing™? If you’re like most people, you’re used to thinking of hearing as something that happens in your ears. What people often don’t think about is what happens between their ears, in the hearing part of their brain. That’s where sound becomes information that has meaning. Your brain has to work hard to make this happen. When the sound signals from your ears are compromised, your brain has to work even harder to fill in the gaps. This extra effort can take its toll. In fact, studies have shown that, over time, hearing loss can lead to isolation and depression. Hearing care is health care. That’s why it makes sense to take care of your hearing health the same way you care about the rest of your health: There’s a lot more riding on it than just your hearing. It’s your brain that hears. Not your ears. When you listen to a conversation, your ears and your brain work together as a system, with your brain doing most of the heavy lifting. Your brain is what uses the information from your two ears to orient you by figuring out which direction sound is coming from. It’s in the brain that sound waves become sounds that you recognize. And your brain is what helps you focus in on a conversation and separate out unwanted noise. Right now, all four of these tasks are happening simultaneously and continuously inside your brain. How can technology help your brain hear more naturally? With so much of your hearing happening in your brain, it’s important that when your hearing is compromised, your brain gets the support it needs. That’s the idea behind the BrainHearing™ technology built into Oticon hearing instruments. BrainHearing™technology preserves the important details in speech, so your brain doesn’t have to fill in the gaps.
