Hearing Aid Singapore
What is a hearing aid?
Hearing aid is a device used to regulate and amplify sound for the partially deaf and can greatly improve ones hearing but it cannot cure or help complete deafness.
The four basic core function for a hearing aid consists;
-
The microphone picks up the sounds in the environment and passes it to the processor.
-
The processor enhances the signal and delivers it to the receiver
-
The receiver delivers the amplified signal to the ear canal.
-
The power source mainly the battery, drives the system.
With the rapidly growing of today digital technology, these basic parts have transformed into four sophisticated components. The signal picked up by the microphone is now converted from analog to digital before processing, then converted back from digital to analog by the processor before the receiver delivers the enhanced signal into the ear canal. The technology has driven digital instruments to perform multiple sound processing and management tasks efficiently and simultaneously. Battery is the main power source driving the system.
What are different styles of hearing aid available in the market today?
There are varieties of hearing instrument styles and lets take a look at them in summaries:
- Complete-in-the-canal (CIC) fits deep inside your ear canal, making it almost invisible. For mild to moderately severe hearing losses users.
- In-the-canal (ITC) fits almost entirely inside your ear canal. The slight size increase allows the ITC to accommodate options that may not fir on a CIC. For mild to moderately severe hearing losses users.
- In-the-ear (ITE) fits securely in the outer ear and provides sufficient space for extra options. For mild to severe hearing losses.
- Behind-the-ear (BTE) sits comfortably behind your ear, with sounds passing through a tube to an ear mold that fits in your outer ear. For mild to profound hearing losses.
- Receiver-in-the-canal (RIC) provides an open fit (meaning nothing plugs your ear canal) and natural sounds via a discreet slim wire that directs sound into the ear. For mild to severe hearing losses.
