Hearing aids are tiny devices worn in or near the ear by people with hearing loss. Hearing loss treatment options have come a long way from the ear trumpets of the 1700’s, and these days hearing aids are incredibly small and high-tech.
How hearing aids work
Prescription hearing aids, which are the only type available at HearingLife, are programmed for each individual user based on their unique hearing loss. They amplify sounds only at the specific frequencies that the person needs amplified so that they can hear with more clarity.
There’s more than one factor to consider when choosing a hearing aid. To make sure you get the one that’s right for you, you’ll need to consider a few things, such as the severity of your hearing loss, ear canal shape, dexterity, lifestyle, your budget, and other personal preferences. The guide below will help you learn the differences between the main types of hearing aids.
