How Hearing Aids Work

Hearing aids are designed to mimic the natural hearing process. Here’s how they work:

Microphones
 

These capture sounds from the environment and convert them into vibrations and then into electrical impulses.

Amplifiers
 

These electrical impulses are often too weak initially. The amplifiers inside the hearing aid strengthen these signals, making even very quiet noises audible.

Speakers
 

The speakers convert the amplified signals into sound, calibrated to the environment and the wearer’s hearing loss.

Hearing Aids Styles

 

There are several different types of hearing aids available, each with unique features and benefits. Choosing the right one depends on your specific needs and preferences.
