| What is a hearing aid? |
| |
| A
hearing aid is a small electronic device that you wear in or behind your
ear. It makes some sounds louder so that a person with hearing loss can
listen, communicate, and participate more fully in daily activities. A hearing
aid can help people hear more in both quiet and noisy situations. However,
only about one out of five people who would benefit from a hearing aid actually
uses one. |
| |
| A
hearing aid has three basic parts: a microphone, amplifier, and speaker.
The hearing aid receives sound through a microphone, which converts the
sound waves to electrical signals and sends them to an amplifier. The amplifier
increases the power of the signals and then sends them to the ear through
a speaker. |
| |
| How can hearing aids help? |
| |
| Hearing
aids are primarily useful in improving the hearing and speech comprehension
of people who have hearing loss that results from damage to the small sensory
cells in the inner ear, called hair cells. This type of hearing loss is
called sensorineural hearing loss. The damage can occur as a result of disease,
aging, or injury from noise or certain medicines. |
| |
| A
hearing aid magnifies sound vibrations entering the ear. Surviving hair
cells detect the larger vibrations and convert them into neural signals
that are passed along to the brain. The greater the damage to a person’s
hair cells, the more severe the hearing loss, and the greater the hearing
aid amplification needed to make up the difference. However, there are practical
limits to the amount of amplification a hearing aid can provide. In addition,
if the inner ear is too damaged, even large vibrations will not be converted
into neural signals. In this situation, a hearing aid would be ineffective. |

Nexear 900 Hearing Aid, Left CustomerReview
I am ordering the left ear today. Do not know why it is more expensive. I do know I needed them both and thought I would try the right ear. It came quickly and I am astonished at what I can hear and cannot wait to get the left ear. Sure beats the 00.00 I was quoted by an audiologist for the same or similar equpment. Do your family,clients and friends a favor and get over your vanity. The only people that know I am wearing an aid are the ones that notice I do not say “what” ‘huh” and answer them correctly. Great to hear the crickets birds and other new sounds that I have missed for years. Cannot wait until hunting season when I can hear movement in the woods again.
