Hearing aids are electronic devices designed to amplify sound for individuals with hearing loss or impairment. They help improve communication, social interaction, and overall quality of life. Here's a comprehensive overview of hearing aids:
Types of Hearing Aids
1. Behind-the-Ear (BTE): The most common type, with a microphone, amplifier, and receiver behind the ear, connected to an earmold in the ear canal. 2. Receiver-in-Canal (RIC): Similar to BTE, but the receiver is placed in the ear canal, reducing size and visibility. 3. Completely-in-Canal (CIC): Custom-fit, tiny devices placed deep within the ear canal, nearly invisible. 4. Invisible-in-Canal (IIC): Smaller than CIC, these devices are almost completely hidden in the ear canal.
