Considering a hearing aid but unsure about the options and what factors to consider? The decision to enhance your hearing can be transformative, but understanding the available choices is crucial. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you navigate through the diverse world of hearing aids.
Understanding Hearing Aid Basics: How They Work
All hearing aids share fundamental components to capture and amplify sounds. Typically digital, they use microphones to gather environmental sounds, a computer chip to process the digital code, and speakers to deliver the amplified signals into your ears. It’s important to note that while hearing aids can enhance hearing, they can’t restore normal hearing.
Varieties of Hearing Aids: Styles and Features
Hearing aids come in various styles, each with unique features and suitability:
1. Completely in the Canal (CIC) or Mini CIC: The smallest and least visible, suitable for mild to moderate hearing loss.
2. In the Canal (ITC): Custom-molded, fitting partly in the ear canal, effective for mild to moderate hearing loss.
3. In the Ear (ITE): Custom-made in full or half shell styles, beneficial for mild to severe hearing loss.
4. Behind the Ear (BTE): Hooks over the ear, connected to a custom earpiece, suitable for various types of hearing loss.
5. Receiver in Canal (RIC) or Receiver in the Ear (RITE): Similar to BTE but with a wire connecting the earpiece, providing options for less visible behind-the-ear portion.
6. Open Fit: A variation of BTE or RIC/RITE with an open dome in the ear, ideal for mild to moderate high-frequency hearing loss.
Before Buying: Key Considerations
· Checkup: Rule out correctable causes of hearing loss with a medical checkup and a hearing test from an audiologist.
· Trial Period: Opt for a hearing aid with a trial period to ensure you can adjust to and are satisfied with the device.
· Future Needs: Ensure the chosen hearing aid can accommodate increased power if your hearing loss worsens.
· Warranty: Verify the warranty covering parts and labor for a specified period.
· Cost Planning: Understand the complete cost, including professional fees and additional features. Check insurance coverage.
