What are Hearing Aids?

Hearing Aids (also called hearing instruments) are sound-amplifying devices designed to aid people who have a hearing impairment.

Most hearing aids include a microphone that picks up sound; amplifier circuitry that makes the sound louder; a miniature loudspeaker (receiver) that delivers the amplified sound into the ear canal; and batteries that power the electronic parts.

Many of the newer hearing aids have the capability to sync wirelessly to landline telephones, cell phones, MP3 players and televisions. Each company has its own line to match its particular hearing instrument. The technology is available in most price points of hearing devices.

  • Hearing aids mainly differ by :

    • Technology used to achieve amplification (i.e., analog vs. digital)
    • Design (Style)
  • Symptoms Of Hearing
