Are there different kinds of hearing aids available?
• Behind-the-ear: a powerful and reliable style that works best in situations of mild to profound hearing loss • In-the-ear: a model that fits in the outer ear which is used for cases of mild to severe hearing loss • In-the-canal: a less visible model than either the behind-the-ear or in-the-ear types which is used for midle to moderately severe hearing loss • Completely-in-canal: an almost invisible model which is placed in the ear canal to treat mild to moderately severe cases of hearing impairment Q: How will I need to adapt to a hearing aid? A: Hearing aids amplify some or all sound, allowing you to hear better. Those with hearing impairments may have grown used to not hearing background noise, such as that from an air conditioner or traffic. Therefore, the new hearing aid user must retrain his or her brain to listen selectively–deciding which sounds to listen to and ignoring the rest. The best way to accomplish this is by wearing your hearing aids as much as possible. Understand
