Different Types Of Hearing Aids ?
Hearing disorders affect a large number of people in all different age groups. Hearing problems can be due to heredity or a serious injury, and it is not uncommon for adults to suffer from hearing loss as they get older. Some other causes for hearing loss are a build up of ear wax, and prolonged exposure to loud noises. While this is a serious disorder that can have a vital impact on the patient's quality of life, many of them are unwilling to try hearing aids of any kind. Research shows that at least one third of senior citizens between the ages of sixty-five and seventy-five experience hearing loss to some degree. Hearing loss does not have to interfere with your everyday activities. With the micro hearing aids that are available today, those who have hearing problems can feel comfortable with a tiny device that can barely be seen by others. They are easy to operate and hearing aid batteries are simple to install. Hearing aids can be found in a variety of different types such as behind the ear, in the ear, open fit, inserted partially in the canal, and inserted completely inside the canal. Each type offers benefits that should be discussed with your health care provider. The type of hearing aid recommended by health care professionals will be determined by the extent of the patient's hearing loss. Behind the ear, or BTE models sit directly behind the ear and is connected to a small tube inside the ear canal. The volume can be manually adjusted, and hearing aid batteries can be readily purchased from a variety of different stores. They are used in moderate to severe cases of hearing loss. Some things to consider when choosing hearing aids are size and visibility, and the warranty for the device, as well as the hearing aid batteries. You should also check your health insurance to make sure your hearing aid will be covered. Hearing aids are available in both analog and digital models. Analog hearing aids can not clearly distinguish different sounds. All sounds are equally amplified, which can make the volume too loud, or the sounds may not be heard at all. Digital hearing aids are rather expensive, but they are designed to produce accurate and clear sound. Disposable hearing aids with built-in batteries can also be purchased. Simply discard the entire device when the batteries die out.
