Hearing aids are the single most effective therapeutic approach for the majority of people with hearing loss.
All hearing aids receive their power from a battery.
Hearing aids for a given individual should be selected following a complete audiologic evaluation. For many reasons, a hearing aid for each ear typically provides superior benefit compared to a hearing aid for one ear only. It also is important to understand that all these decisions are generally independent of one another. The hearing aid is worn behind the ear and connects to a custom-made earmold with plastic tubing that fits in the user's ear. The earmold is created from an impression of the outer ear and ear canal.
