Hearing Aid Basics

• Hearing Aids are digitally programmed to fit your hearing loss. Hearing Aids will only target the sounds you can't hear well, while amplifiers just make all sounds louder.
• Hearing aids can have multiple programs for different listening environments- including noisy places.

• Components include at least one microphone, an amplifier, a speaker and a battery
• Some batteries are rechargeable!

Hearing Aids can help make some sounds louder so that they can listen, communicate, and participate more fully in daily activities.

• Wearing the hearing aids all-waking-hours: from the time you get up in the morning until you go to bed at night
• Communicating with your audiologist about your needs and concerns
