3. All hearing aids are, to a
certain degree, just a
sophisticated amplifier.
With modern digital
technology, these
amplifiers can be
customized to create very
user specific output.

4. Specific pitches where
your hearing loss is worse
can be amplified to a
greater extent, while areas
where your hearing is
better can me minimally
amplified.

5. Every hearing instrument has
a microphone, an amplifier, a
receiver, a battery, and in
modern digital hearing
products, a computer chip.
Sound is picked up by the
microphone located on the
outer casing, and converts that
sound into an electric signal.

6. Batteries are
required to power
the aid, varying in
size based on the
type and brand of
the instrument.

7. Being man-
made, even the
most advanced
hearing
instruments have
their limits.

8. None will restore hearing to
normal, no matter how
sophisticated the device.
While the individual’s
hearing can be improved
drastically with an
appropriate fit, the sound
still has to pass through the
damaged system that is
causing the hearing loss.

9. Ask your hearing
healthcare professional
about what you can do
to improve hearing in
these situations more!
