Find Yourself The Best Hearing Aid You Can
By Mandy Fain
All hearing aids are expensive, even if you are going to buy a really basic one it's unlikely to cost less than a few hundred dollars. So why can't you splash out and buy a high quality one? After all, it's your hearing that we're talking about!
The problem is that no hearing aid is the best, each hearing aid performs differently. So the best hearing aid for you depends entirely upon what you need and expect from your hearing aid, and also the extent of your hearing loss.
We can start to look at what types of hearing aid would be best suited to certain types of individual:
Types of Hearing Loss
-Conductive Hearing Loss. This is where there is something wrong with your ear, the sound itself is unable to pass from the outer ear to the inner ear. This reason is the most common reason people need hearing aids.
-Sensorineural Hearing Loss. This is where there is a problem further inside the inner ear, or it could possibly be a nerve problem. This problem is much more serious than conductive hearing loss, but it still can be helped using hearing aids.
-Mixed Hearing Loss. This is a mixture of both conductive and sensorineural hearing loss.
Purchase a Hearing Aid
You should only purchase a hearing aid from a company that offers some form of free trial, this should be at least 30 days long, if it's not suitable within this time you can simply return the hearing aid and get your money back. You may consider used hearing aids as well.
Conventional hearing aids
The conventional hearing aids are designed to amplify sounds so that your ear can hear them, these are suitable for any type of hearing loss.
Conventional hearing aids commonly fit behind the ear (BTE), in the ear (ITE) and inside the ear canal (CIC).
There are two forms of hearing aid, digital and analog. Analog hearing aids are cheaper, but they do not have many of the features digital hearing aids are capable of. Digital hearing aids also have better sound quality.
There are a number of different options that hearing aid users can choose from, and so they are becoming more and more customised. There are several interesting new features such as dual microphones, and telecoils that allow you to get more out of your hearing aid.
Implants
You can also have a very new type of hearing aid implanted in your ear, this hearing aid is fitted completely inside the ear. There are obvious advantages to these implants, but also some disadvantages. Implants are designed for people that experience serious hearing loss.
These implanted hearing aids take sound from outside and then transmit it to the middle ear, where the sound is recreated. These hearing aids are best suited to those people who suffer from sensorineural hearing loss, they won't work if the middle ear is damaged.
Earglasses
This is the newest innovation in the hearing aid industry, this device known as an earglass doesn't use any electronics, so there's no expensive battery to replace. This device sites behind your ear and magnifies the sound.
This device basically works in the same way as when you cup your hands around your ear. This is a completely natural way to amplify the sound, however this is only suitable for people that suffer from mild hearing loss, as the gain isn't large enough for more serious cases.
