Can tinnitus and hearing loss be considered symptoms of the same neurological process/disorder? Dr. Keith Darrow, a neuroscientist and audiologist, joins us to challenge conventional wisdom about these conditions. As we explore his insights, you'll learn how the progressive breakdown of neural connections from the ear to the brain not only causes hearing difficulties and sensitivity to loud sounds but also leads to tinnitus and more.. Groundbreaking research from MIT addresses cochlear deafferentation, expanding our understanding of these complex issues

Is it time to rethink how we classify hearing loss? Our conversation with Dr. Darrow uncovers the inadequacies of current classifications, which often use terms like "mild" and "slight" which downplay the seriousness. of hearing loss. Dr. Darrow proposes using more precise metrics such as the most-challenging four-frequency pure tone average and speech-in-noise ability and more, to provide a clearer picture of one's hearing health. By framing hearing loss as a progressive, chronic neurological condition, akin to diabetes or Parkinson's, we can develop better descriptions, management and treatment strategies.
Dr. Darrow advocates for a holistic, early and effective approach to detecting, diagnosing and treating hearing and listening difficulties.

Join us as we explore the evolving nature of scientific inquiry, with Dr. Darrow highlighting the importance of continual refinement and openness to new perspectives, ensuring better outcomes for those affected by hearing loss and tinnitus.

While we know all hearing aids amplify sounds to help you hear them, Starkey Genesis AI uses cutting-edge technology designed to help you understand them, too.
