vifaa saidizi vya kusikia vya majaribio
Jaribio la kifaa saidizi cha kusikia huruhusu vifaa saidizi vya kusikia kuwekwa na kurekebishwa kwa ajili ya faraja ya mtu.
Mtayarishe mtu huyo kwa kueleza kuwa kutumia vifaa saidizi vya kusikia si sawa na kusikia kawaida. Inachukua muda kuzoea kutumia vifaa saidizi vya kusikia.
Jaribio la kifaa saidizi cha kusikia ni pamoja na:
- Fitting hearing aids
- Kurekebisha vifaa saidizi vya kusikia.
Equipment
Ili kupata vifaa saidizi vya kusikia, utahitaji:
- vifaa saidizi vya kusikia na betri
- Vifaa saidizi vya kusikia katika ukubwa tofauti
- Earmould tubes
- Mkasi
- Pen.
Dokezo
Inasaidia kuwa na vipande vya ziada vya mirija unapojifunza jinsi ya kutoshea vifaa saidizi vya kusikia.
vifaa saidizi vya kusikia
This includes fitting the earmould and earmould tube.
Fit earmould
Earmoulds come in different sizes. Usually, in small, medium and large.
Select a suitable size of earmould for the person:
- The earmould fits correctly if it is comfortable and easy to insert and remove into/from the person’s ear canal
- The earmould should not feel loose inside the ear canal.
Dokezo
Adults usually need a medium or large earmould.
Kazi
Gather earmoulds in different sizes.
In groups, practice selecting and fitting the correct size of earmould:
- Check the earmould is comfortable. If it is not comfortable Try a smaller size.
- Ask the person to open and close their mouth. The earmould should not pop out of the ear canal. If it comes out Try a smaller size.
- Look at the fit of the earmould in the ear canal. If it does not fill the ear canal Select a larger size.
Fit earmould tube
Ili kupata vifaa saidizi vya kusikia, ni muhimu kukata tube ya sikio kwa urefu sahihi. Ondoa betri kabla ya kukata bomba la sikio ili kuzuia maoni (kupiga miluzi).
To insert the earmould:
- Hold the person’s pinna with one hand
- Pull the back of the ear upwards and backwards to straighten the person’s ear canal
- Hold the earmould between your finger and thumb level with the tragus (the tube should face upwards)
- Gently press the earmould into the person’s ear canal.
Maelekezo
Watch the video of cutting the earmould tube to fit.
Pause the video at each of these points:
- Ingiza kwa upole bomba la sikio juu ya ndoano ya sikio la kifaa saidizi cha kusikia
- Mark with a pen where the tip of the tube meets with the ear hook and add 2-3 millimetres
- Ondoa kifaa saidizi cha kusikia na ukingo wa sikio kutoka kwa sikio la mtu kabla ya kukata.
Swali
Tazama picha zifuatazo za kifaa saidizi cha kusikia kwenye sikio la mtu. Ambayo imefungwa kwa usahihi?
Sio sahihi.
Bomba ni fupi sana. kifaa saidizi cha kusikia hauwezi kupumzika kwenye sikio la mtu.
Sio sahihi.
Bomba ni refu sana. Ni kuinua kifaa saidizi cha kusikia juu ya sikio la mtu.
Sahihi!
Bomba ni urefu sahihi. Hii inaruhusu vifaa saidizi vya kusikia kupumzika vizuri juu ya sikio la mtu.
Always hold the earmould and not the tube when removing.
Onyo
Ondoa kifaa saidizi cha kusikia kabla ya kukata mirija ya sikio ili kuepuka kukata ngozi ya mtu.
Cut the marked tube and gently press the tube onto the ear hook.
Onyo
Avoid twisting the tube when attaching it to the ear hook. Twisting the tubing can damage it and change or block the sound.
Inafaa kwa vifaa saidizi vya kusikia
Angalia kifaa saidizi cha kusikia kinafaa bila betri.
kifaa saidizi cha kusikia unafaa kwa mtu wakati:
- The earmould is comfortable in their ear canal
- kifaa saidizi cha kusikia hutegemea masikio yao bila mapengo.
If the tube does not fit properly, the sound may leak and cause feedback (whistling).
Rekebisha vifaa saidizi vya kusikia
Fanya marekebisho ya vifaa saidizi vya kusikia ikiwa inahitajika.
Prepare:
- Insert the battery, leaving the door half open
- Ingiza ukingo wa sikio kwenye sikio la mtu na uweke kifaa saidizi cha kusikia kwenye kila sikio.
Check the person can hear your voice clearly
- Washa vifaa saidizi vya kusikia na urekebishe sauti hadi mtu aweze kusikia sauti yako vizuri
- Position yourself 1.5 metres away from the person and use your normal level of voice and talk clearly
- Ask the person if they found the sound of your voice too loud or soft
- If necessary, adjust the volume until comfort is reached
- Ask the person if your voice is clear
- Ikiwa sauti yako haieleweki, marekebisho ya vifaa saidizi vya kusikia yanaweza kuhitajika.
Check for feedback
Weka mkono wako wazi kwa umbali wa sentimita 5-10 kutoka kwa kifaa saidizi cha kusikia kwenye sikio la mtu. Haipaswi kuwa na sauti ya maoni (mluzi).
Maelekezo
Check the problem solving table for solutions if there is feedback.
Jadili marekebisho ya programu ya vifaa saidizi vya kusikia na mshauri wako ikiwa hatua hizi hazitatui tatizo.
Check how much the person is benefitting
Muulize maswali ili kuelewa kama anaridhishwa na jinsi kifaa chake saidizi cha kusikia kinavyofanya kazi.
Ask questions such as:
- How does that sound?
- Are you comfortable with the sound level?
Uliza kuhusu kiwango cha sauti kwa kila kifaa saidizi cha kusikia.
Ikiwa mtu huyo haridhiki na jaribio lao la vifaa saidizi vya kusikia vilivyosetiwa tayari, jadiliana na mshauri wako. Toa rufaa mtaalamu wa masikio na kusikia ikihitajika.
Kazi
In groups, gather:
- kifaa saidizi cha kusikia na ndoano ya sikio
- Suitable size earmould
- Practice pieces of tubing 5 centimetres long
- Mkasi
- Pen.
1. Ondoa neli kutoka kwenye ukungu wa sikio na ubadilishe na bomba la mazoezi
2. Kata bomba kwa urefu sahihi
3. Angalia kifaa saidizi cha kusikia kinafaa:
- Is the earmould comfortable and staying in place when the person opens and closes their mouth?
- Je, vifaa saidizi vya kusikia inakaa vizuri juu ya sikio lao?
4. After fitting check:
- The person can hear your voice clearly and
- There is no feedback.
