The document discusses Beltone hearing aids and their features. It describes how hearing works and how noise exposure can lead to hearing loss over time. Beltone has been making hearing aids for over 70 years using knowledge of ear anatomy. They produce various types of hearing aids to address different degrees of deafness, from mild to profound. In addition to hearing aids, Beltone offers accessories like an alarm clock that uses light and vibration to wake up users. They also supply replacement batteries in bulk.

1. Beltone Hearing Aids
Do you know how your ears work? I am afraid to say that not many people do, which may be why so
many people, especially young people, risk their hearing so frequently. The problem with hearing is that,
people rarely lose it over night. Typically, protracted exposure to loud noise will not have a noticeable
effect until several years or even several decades afterwards.
The outer ear is only there to feed sound waves into the inner ear. This is the reason why people cup their
hands to their ears when they cannot hear something well - in effect, your hand is increasing the size of
your outer ear, meaning that it collects more sound waves. These sound waves are then funneled down
your ear canal to your eardrum.
The sound waves pulsate tiny bones, which in turn causes fluid in the cochlear to move about. This
activates thousands of tiny hairs which create electrical charges which are picked up by nerve endings.
These are passed on to your brain which interprets them as sound. As you can suppose, there are heaps of
things that can go wrong in this process, which could impair your hearing.
Doctors and scientists have been aware of this and more for decades and Beltone, which started up in
1940, have been using this information to create hearing aids for the benefit of the deaf and hard of
hearing. They now manufacture some of the most advanced hearing aids on the market including the
latest digital units.
Beltone make a wide variety of hearing aids or listening systems. Some of their models are for the mildly
deaf, may be those people who have trouble focusing on one sound in a large number of sounds to the
profoundly deaf. There are so many degrees of deafness, which have come about for so many reasons,
that there have to be plenty of choices.
Beltone have all the bases covered. Hearing aids are obviously enormously useful, but they are not always
that comfortable to go to bed with, particularly the behind-the-ear-devices (BTE), which can lead to a
problem if you are hoping to be woken up by an alarm clock. Likewise, wake up calls over the telephone
are pretty useless.
Beltone has the answer in a portable alarm clock which not only has a strobe light to alert the light
sleeper, but also incorporates a vibrator that can be put under your pillow so that even heavy sleepers will
be woken up on time.
Batteries are an important part of any hearing aid and Beltone supply cut-rate replacement batteries for
hearing aids. They can be bought in packs of four or boxes of forty-two either in local malls or from their
website.
If you are on the look out for hearing aid equipment, you obviously have to take advice from the experts
like your physician and perhaps the local society for the deaf, but Beltone has such a long history and
good track record that it should be on any short list when you go looking for deaf aids or deaf aids
supplies and accessories.
