I agree you totally before otherwise doctor professional tell you information question problem,
that is very tough not easy because struggle better heal recovery!

I am tried on advil not work weird because system on my feeling on brain, I am very numberous tough I knew tough not easy! I aware it pretty patient positive!
 
That's one of the reasons I decided to give up on hearing aids. Growing up, I had headaches/migraines at least five times a week, but I rarely took medicine. It wasn't because it wasn't that bad, it felt like hell and I suffered through it. I just always developed a tolerance for the medicine unless I took it only on rare occasions. I didn't want to have to keep taking stronger medication and risk all of the side effects that come with those.

Some people would tell me the headaches were caused by other things. They would say that it was because I had not eaten lunch (at 11AM) or dinner (at 3:30PM), I had not had enough water (I make sure to get enough water), I had not had enough sleep (after sleeping for 9+ hours that night), I had too much caffeine (the most I will drink is pop, no coffee, and that in moderation), etc.

I hope you are able to find your solution. You shouldn't have to just deal with the headaches and risk long-term side effects from medications. :thumb:

Thank you so much aware found it on side effect maybe on anxiety i suspect on on headache! I found investiage on issues aware :) I cope oin health better relax!
 
Presumably one must discover the source of 'ANXIETY" in order to effectively "deal with it".

Reading a psychology textbook probably doesn't give one "insight"in how to manage,

Hopefully one's doctor can be of "assistance".

When I wore analogue hearing aids my scalp, neck and even some of my back muscles were tight and tense all of the time.

Travis, if you think your hearing aids are giving you headaches, maybe an audi can adjust them for you? Are you more likely to get headaches after being near certain types of sounds or places?

In the meantime I agree with Bottesini, take off your hearing aids and give yourself breaks.

I hope an adjustment will help and prevent you from getting headaches.
 
I'm curious as to why the analog ones would make your muscles tight. Was there a reason for that? (I ask only because I've worn analog all my life, never experienced that and don't know others who have.) Was it only when wearing the aids and hearing sounds that did (meaning that when your aids weren't in, you didn't experience the tight/tense muscles?)

To be honest I don't know why.

I switched over to fully digital hearing aids in 1997.

I've worn HAs since I was 5 years old (I'm 52 now) and each time I got a new pair of HAs it was an improvement. But this was the first time I didn't feel like the sounds were jarring and uncomfortable. I was honestly surprised and my first reaction was ... hmmm, maybe its not that hard to be fully hearing after all.

But this thread is bringing back more memories and its possible that my finally being able to use HAs without getting tense was not simply due to the switchover from analog to digital technology but also due to improvements in other HA technology. I got a loner from my audi when one of my digital hearing aids had to be repaired and it was, according to him, an analog hearing aid. That hearing aid was not uncomfortable for me to use. I don't recall the model or even the brand though. :(


ETA: I realized that I didn't answer your question completely. To be honest I didn't make the connection until I had switched over to digital aids for awhile. I just thought that was normal for me. People use to comment on how tense my muscles were. Not often, because obviously most people didn't go around feeling me up, lol.

I use to notice that my scalp felt more relaxed a half hour or so after I took my HAs off, but I thought I was reacting to physically wearing something on my ears. After I switched over to digital, I know that wasn't so.

Maybe a compression adjustment would help? The author of the article linked below thinks that the UCL should be tested with pure tones at specific frequencies and not just with words. He thinks the results would be better and there's no reason not to test for them since its much easier to set gain and compression in the hearing aids since audigram tests were originally designed. I gather he thinks that most audis are doing these tests by rote and not really thinking about what the results mean and how much the technology has changed, esp since digital aids have become more commonly sold.

Demystifying Hearing Testing

Especially read what he has to say in the section describing the 7th test.

Hope this helps.
 
Jazzberry (couldn't reply with the quote off my phone), your response was very interesting. Making me think whether I ever experienced any of that. So now that you have new digitals, do you feel fine always?
