I can hear people when they talk, but sometimes have difficulty understanding what they are saying. How are hearing and understanding related?
Hearing takes place in your brain; understanding words and sentences is a function of your brain. Your ears collect sound, transform it into nerve impulses and send them to the brain where understanding takes place. If deadening of the nerves (Celia) has occurred, understanding may become difficult or sometimes impossible because parts of the sound are missing. A properly fitted, NuEar hearing instrument is designed to compensate for a loss of sensitivity and can positively affect your ability to hear sound.
