How do hearing aids work?
Today’s advanced hearing aids are small and enhance sounds so you can hear much better. While there are many different types and levels of powerful sound processing technologies, five basic components are common to them all:
- Microphones that pick up sound.
- An amplifier that makes it louder.
- A loudspeaker (receiver) that sends amplified sound into the ear.
- An ultra-small chip that processes the sound to fit your hearing needs.
- A tiny battery that runs the sound processors.
The hearing aid shells may or may not look alike, but it is the technology inside you are paying for. Imagine the impact a great set of hearing aids could have on your daily life! You would be able to respond more naturally and communicate more freely with family and friends. And get maximum pleasure out of your favourite pastimes.
Three performance levels
Generally speaking there are three performance levels of hearing aids: Essential, Advanced and Premium. Which performance level you choose will depend on your hearing, listening needs, lifestyle, personal preferences and budget. The different types process loud sounds and quiet sounds in different ways.
What you need...
Essential hearing aids are designed to make speech easier to hear.
What you would like...
Advanced hearing aids shape the sound even more closely to fi t your needs. Because these automatically adapt to changes in your environment, listening becomes even easier, particularly when it is noisy.
…What you deserve
Premium solutions offer the richest, most natural sound quality imaginable. Some even use wireless technology to keep your sound picture as true-to-life as possible. Wherever you go, with these at your side, you will feel completely tuned in to what is going on around you.
Did you know that it is not our ears that do the listening, but our brain? Our ears capture the sounds, but it is the brain that recognises and interprets them. That is why it is vital to be able to hear the widest range of sounds as clearly as possible.
