Vivaan Saxena, a 58-year-old high school...
Vivaan Saxena, a 58-year-old high school history teacher, has always prided himself on his ability to engage his students with vivid storytelling. Over the past two years, he's noticed a gradual but persistent difficulty following conversations in his noisy classroom and during family gatherings, especially when his grandchildren speak. He often asks people to repeat themselves and has started turning up the television volume, much to his wife's annoyance. His primary care physician, after a basic screening, referred him to an ENT specialist. The ENT, Dr. Sharma, recommended a Pure Tone Audiometry test to objectively measure the type and degree of his hearing loss. During the test, Vivaan felt a mix of anxiety and curiosity in the soundproof booth, carefully pressing the button each time he heard a faint beep. The procedure was straightforward and painless. The results confirmed a bilateral, age-related sensorineural hearing loss, most pronounced in the higher frequencies. With a clear diagnosis, Vivaan was fitted with hearing aids. The emotional journey was significant; he felt frustration and a fear of becoming isolated before the test. Afterward, with a concrete explanation and a treatment plan, he felt relieved and empowered. He's now back in his classroom, hearing his students clearly, and feels reconnected to his family's daily life.
