Kurasikirwa kwekunzwa kwezera-kare kunobata anofungidzirwa mumwe wevanhu vatatu vanopfuura makore makumi matanhatu nemashanu, uye nhamba iyoyo inowedzera sezvaunokura, achikwira kune vaviri kubva kune vatatu vakwegura vanoda rubatsiro rwekunzwa nemakore makumi manomwe. Sezvo tarisiro yeupenyu inoramba ichiwedzera, nhamba yevanhu vane kurasikirwa kwekunzwa kunotyisa. Kutsvakurudza kwakaratidza kuti kurasikirwa kwekunzwa kunobatsira kune zvimwe zviitiko zvakakomba zvinosanganisira kuora mwoyo, kuzviparadzanisa, kusanganisa kunzwisisika, uye kunyange kuora mwoyo .
Pasinei nhamba idzi, pasi pehafu yevakuru vakwegura vanoda ruzivo rwekunzwa zvechokwadi vanozvitenga. Mari inofungidzirwa kuti inonyanya kukosha kuodza mwoyo vanhu kutenga mabatsiro ekunzwa, sezvo pavhareji chete rubatsiro rumwe rwekunzwa runodhura madhora 2 500. Kunzwa rubatsiro kazhinji hazvifukidzwi neinishuwarenzi . Zvimwe zvinhu zvinogona kusanganisira nzira iyo manzwiro ekuteerera anotarisa (vanhu vanobviswa nechitarisiko chavo) uye kusagadzikana kwekuenda kunyoreswa kwekuongororwa kwekunzwa uye kuongororwa. Vamwe vakuru vakwegura vangangosarudza kuramba vari mukuramba sezvo kubva kurasikirwa kunzwa kunobatanidza nekukura.
Iye zvino muUnited States, FDA haina kubvumira zvigadzirwa zvingatengeswa zvakananga kune vatengi se "manzwiro ekunzwa" saka makambani akawana zvakapoteredza izvi kuburikidza se "manzwiro emhando yezvigadzirwa zvemiti" kana PSAPs. Kusiyana nezvinobatsira kunzwa, PSAPs dzinogona kutengeswa zvakananga kuvanhu pasina rubatsiro kana mazano emudzidzisi wekunzwa ( audiologist ), uye ivo vanonyanya kudhura.

PSAPs vs. OTC Hearing Aid
Maererano nekuongorora kwe 2017 kwakabudiswa muAmerican Journal of Audiology, PSAPs dzaingova zvishoma zvishoma kudarika kunzwa rubatsiro rwakaparidzirwa uye rwakarongedzwa nenyanzvi yevanzwi, (kana inoshandiswa pakuneta kusvika pakuenzanisa kurasikirwa kwekunzwa).
Kupihwa kuderera kukuru kwekutengesa kwakanaka kutaura kuti kuita mazwi ekunzwa anowanika pane-the-counter kunogona kuita kuti vawane nyore kune vakwegura, zvingaita kuti kuwedzerwa kunzwa kwemamiriyoni evanhu. Chimwe chiitiko chinonakidza chekudzidza, zvisinei, ndechokuti vatori vechikamu vakapiwa sarudzo yekutenga manzwiro avo ekunzwa pakupera kwekudzidza, uye mari inodhura yakawanda yakaparidzirwa nevanzwi vepamusoro-soro yaiva shoma shoma yekutengwa kupfuura yepasi- inodhura PSAPs.
Zvimwe sechikonzero chekuti matauro ekunzwa anotarirwa sei muUnited States uyewo nokuti pane zvishoma zvekutsvaga pamusika, zvizhinji zvekorovhinzi inowanika haisati yashandiswa pakuvandudza manzwiro ekunzwa, zvakadai semafuta e-teknolojia uye mabhatiri rechargeable . Kambani imwe kambani inotengesa PSAPs, Doppler Labs, iri kuedza kuita manzwiro ekunzwa mamwe maitiro uye anoshanda. Vanoshandisa magadzirirwo anowirirana ne smartphone yako uye anogona nyore kukanganiswa nemashandisi anoshandiswa kuparadzira mimhanzi kana kutora foni. Kuchinja nzira iyo FDA inodzora pamusoro pe-counter-counter-aid kunzwa inogona kubatsira kubatanidza makwikwi akawanda mumhizha uye pakupedzisira inotungamirira mukuvandudzika mumagetsi anonzwa ivo pachavo.
Hapana mubvunzo kuti kushorwa uye kutaridzika chinhu chikuru chekuita nei vanhu vakawanda vakwegura vanotanga kubatsirwa, asi vamwe vanhu vanofungidzira zvigadziro zvekunzwa zvinowedzera kana kuenzanisa mune zvimwe. Kana iyo yakabhadharwa pakunzwa rubatsiro, uye iyo inogona kutengwa panzvimbo yako yemapurisa, vamwe vanhu vari mumabhizimusi vanofunga kuti vanofananidzwa nemafambisirwo emafashoni. Iwe unogona kutosarudza kuti inzwa rubatsiro runoshandisa sei zuva iroro zvichienderana nezvinoenderana nemapfekete ako.

Kugadzirisa kurasikirwa kwekunzwa hakusi chete pamusoro pekunzwa rubatsiro mushure mezvose, mutori wenhau anokwanisa kukudzidzisa iwe kuverenga miromo. Vanhu vanofarira kuita zvinyorwa zvekunzwa zviripo pane-the-counter vanotaura kuti varwere vangave vachiri kutsvaga mazano ehupenzi, vachibhadhara mari yebasa, asi kuti kuchinja mitemo kuchazarura misika, kukurudzirwa kwevanokurudzira, kuunza mitengo pasi, uye kutungamirira kuti kuvandudzire mune teknolojia yekunzwa. Mwedzi nemakore ari kuuya zvinounza kuwedzera kutsvakurudza uye kukurukurirana pamusoro pehurukuro iyi, iyo ichatarisira, pakupedzisira, inotungamirira kukunzwa kwakanaka kwemamiriyoni evanhu.
