What is a hearing aid?

Hearing aids are small, electronic devices that can be worn in, or behind the ear, to amplify sounds for those affected by hearing loss. These clever little devices are packed full of technology which works hard to adjust sounds, clarify speech and reduce the impact of noisy backgrounds.

Typically a hearing aid is made up of three key components; a microphone, an amplifier and a speaker. Sound waves are picked up through the microphone and converted into electrical signals. These signals then travel to the amplifier where the power before being sent to the ear via the speaker.

How does a hearing aid work?

Hearing aids work by adjusting sounds, not just by making things louder. In fact, with today’s hearing aid technology, audiologists can programme hearing aids to reduce background noise, whilst increasing the volume of the sounds that you want to hear, so you can comfortably focus on conversations without being distracted.
