Hearing aids are the front-line treatment for hearing loss, especially for sensorineural cases. Health professionals use them to tackle various degrees of hearing loss, from mild to profound.
Here’s a step-by-step process of how hearing aids help your auditory system:
The device's microphone picks up nearby sounds.
A processing chip analyzes and adjusts the sounds to the wearer's needs.
An amplifier strengthens the sounds and sends them to the speaker.
The speaker sends the sounds to the inner ear.
Hearing Aids Do More than Amplify Your Hearing
Did you know that hearing aids do more than just allow you to hear better? Many studies suggest that using these devices can improve your overall health and wellness:
Prevent Cognitive Decline
Research shows a link between hearing loss and severe diseases like dementia. When you don't use your auditory system, the part of your brain responsible for hearing degenerates slowly. In other words, the longer you forego hearing loss treatment, the more you expose your brain to damage.
Boost Mental Health
Studies suggest that hearing aids may prevent depression and improve your overall mental health, but how? When people regularly fail to follow conversations, they often begin to isolate themselves and avoid activities and time with their loved ones. Hearing aids will bring back the loss of function and encourage you to interact with others again.
Protect Physical Health
According to some studies, people who leave their hearing condition untreated become three times more likely to sustain physical injuries like falling or slipping. This is because our auditory health is significantly connected to our balance.
Correct Tinnitus
There is no permanent cure for tinnitus, but modern hearing aids can lessen the symptoms significantly. If you suffer from this condition, you might want to discuss potential options with your doctor.

Types of Hearing Aids
Behind-the-ear (BTE)
BTE devices are small, easy to wear all day, and budget-friendly. The unit behind your ear matches your hair and complexion, so it is less noticeable. The main advantage of BTE devices is their capacity to help the entire spectrum of hearing loss, from mild to severe.
Receiver-in-Ear (RIE)
RIE-style devices are virtually invisible, featuring a tiny casing that rests behind your ear and connects tiny components that are fitted in your ear canal using thin clear tubing.
In-the-Ear (ITE)
In-the-Ear (ITE) style hearing aids are larger still but don’t require the same level of fine dexterity for insertion and removal, and they make it easier to adjust controls or change batteries.
In-The-Canal (ITC)
In-the-Canal (ITC) style devices are a mid-sized option that combines wearing discretion with push-button controls. These aids offer a secure fit, easier insertion and removal, and longer battery life.
Completely-in-the-Canal (CIC)
Completely-in-Canal (CIC) styles are slightly more visible than IIC devices but offer features, such as wireless connectivity, to use with your smartphone, allowing you to take calls directly in your hearing aids and adjust your device using our app.
Invisible (IIC)
Invisible-in-Canal (IIC) style devices are our most discrete, designed to fit inside your ear canal where they are almost completely invisible.
