Questions

What are the causes of hearing loss?

Many factors can cause hearing loss, such as the aging process, heredity, disease, exposure to noise, and buildup of earwax, among others.

What can I do to protect my hearing?

Protect yourself from extremely loud noise or prolonged exposure to even moderately loud noise as they can cause permanent damage to the tiny hair cells inside the cochlea. If your surroundings are loud enough that you must raise your voice to be heard, then the noise is loud enough to damage your ears - wear earplugs or other protective gear.

How does a hearing aid work?

Modern hearing aids transform incoming sound into digital binary code (0’s and 1’s). This information can then be manipulated by the signal processing chip inside the hearing aid. Once the signal processing is done, the digital signal is returned to an analog signal. This is then sent to the speaker of the hearing aid and is heard by the user.

Which hearing aid style should I choose?

The right hearing aid for you depends on your hearing loss, lifestyle, and technological and cosmetic requirements. Your hearing care professional will review your requirements and recommend hearing aids based on your hearing loss, your audiogram, and fitting requirements.
How can I know if I should wear one or two hearing aids?
Using one or two hearing aids depends on your hearing loss. However, research shows that speech is easier to understand when hearing aids are worn in both ears. Whether in normal environments or noisy situations, while one hearing aid hones in on speech, the other diminish background noise. Two hearing aids also help with localization or recognizing where sounds are coming from.
