Hearing Aids

Hearing aids are instruments that amplify sound and assist with speech recognition. They come in many shapes and sizes and are customizable to meet specific hearing needs and preferences.

Generally speaking, all hearing aids contain the same components: receiver (microphone), amplifier, speaker, battery, and program/volume control. Hearing aids function in the same way your auditory process does. First, a sound is picked up by the microphone. This sound is then amplified and fed to your ear by the speaker. The sound your ear receives is processed by a chip which uses algorithms to balance and clarify sound. The hearing aid is powered by a battery.
