Why do hearing aids amplify so much noise and sometimes make sounds too loud, but not really that clear?
Like any other amplification instrument, there will always be a certain level of distortion for hearing aid wearers. The amount of distortion may increase as a result of the type of hearing loss an individual has. Certain hearing impairments result in distortion within your system, which cannot be corrected because of permanent damage. With regard to clarity, even the most sophisticated hearing aids’ ability to clarify speech is limited by the degree of inner ear and/or central auditory nervous system distortion or impairment. Consult your ListenUP! Canada Audiologist for more information about your personal situation and options.
