For those who experience sensorineural hearing loss, hearing aids are a great way to improve their hearing abilities, with approximately 10 million US adults wearing a hearing aid. Hearing aids work by amplifying the sound you would usually hear in your outer ear, helping the vibrations to be picked up by the hair cells that adorn the cochlea. These hair cells then convert the sound vibrations into electrical signals, which can then be transported by the auditory nerve to the brain and interpreted as sound.
When searching for a hearing aid, it’s important to consider several things, including what style, size and features you want.
Hearing aids can be divided loosely into four categories:
Hearing aids are highly personalized and are created for each individual with the help of their audiologist. Having assessed your hearing abilities, your audiologist will often then take an imprint of your ear using a soft, moldable material, which will then be used by the hearing aid manufacturer to create you a hearing aid that fits perfectly inside your ear.
Choosing to improve your hearing by purchasing a hearing aid is a big decision, and understandably you will want to make sure that you find the right one. Your audiologist is on your side, and most reputable providers will offer you a trial and at least a 30-day guarantee on the hearing aid you purchase. It’s important to remember that, like any new device it can take up to four months to feel the full benefits of your new hearing aid, and you will need to work closely with your audiologist during this time to ensure that you experience the maximum benefits.
