What is a hearing aid?

Hearing aids are small, high-tech devices that help you hear if you suffer from hearing loss. They amplify your surrounding sounds (such as conversations, TV shows, or the radio) to help you communicate and participate in everyday situations.

Digital hearing aids

How does a hearing aid work?
Sound is carried across three different components:

  1. Microphone - receives sound waves and converts them into electrical signals
  2. Amplifier - increases the strength of the audio signals and sends them on to the ear
  3. Receiver / speaker - converts the amplified electrical audio signals into sound and sends them further into the ear canal

What are OTC hearing aids?
The FDA’s newly created Over-The-Counter (OTC) hearing aid category is designed to be sold directly to the consumer, over the age of 18, with mild-to-moderate hearing loss. While the intent was to provide access to hearing aids at a lower price, the actual cost in terms of safety, customization and support could make this a costly experience for some. 

Your hearing is as unique as your fingerprint.

HearingLife proudly provides professionally fit hearing devices for all different budgets and offers flexible payment plans. We support our customers throughout their journey with personalized care for the life of the hearing aid, at no additional cost. You can be assured that our recommendations and individualized care result in better hearing and money well spent. Read more about OTC hearing aids at HearingLife.
