  3. A hearing aid is a small electronic device that you wear in or behind your ear. It makes some sounds louder so that a person with hearing loss can listen, communicate, and participate more fully in daily activities. A hearing aid has three basic parts: a microphone, amplifier, and speaker. How can hearing aids help? Hearing aids are primarily useful in improving the hearing and speech comprehension of people who have hearing loss that results from damage to the small sensory cells in the inner ear, called hair cells. This type of hearing loss is called sensor neural hearing loss. The damage can occur as a result of disease, aging, or injury from noise or certain medicines. How can I find out if I need a hearing aid? If you think you might have hearing loss and could benefit from a hearing aid, visit your physician, who may refer you to an otolaryngologist or audiologist. An otolaryngologist is a physician who specializes in ear, nose, and throat disorders and will investigate the cause of the hearing loss. An audiologist is a hearing health professional who identifies and measures hearing loss and will perform a hearing test to assess the type and degree of loss.

  6. What problems does a hearing aid have to solve? • You might be wondering, if a hearing aid is just an amplifier, and an amplifier is just a few transistors, how come it costs so much? But of course, it's not quite that simple! First, there isn't simply one type of hearing impairment. You can lose hearing for three different reasons (or a combination of them): • Conductive impairment: Sound doesn't travel properly ("conduct") from the outside to the inner ear. This can sometimes be corrected by surgery or simple amplification. • Sensorineuralhearing loss (SNHL): Generally a problem with the cochlea, in the inner ear, in which the cilia do not detect sounds of certain frequencies as well as they are supposed to. Most hearing impairments fall into this category, so this is the problem that most hearing aids seek to address. • Neural impairment: A problem in the brain itself that affects your ability to interpret sound signals your ears have successfully registered (possibly caused by something like a brain tumor, stroke, or other brain injury). This is a relatively rare problem and not something that a hearing aid can address.

  7. Gain adjustment: The amount by which an amplifier increases a particular frequency (or band of frequencies) of sound is known as its gain. Digital hearing aids adjust the gain selectively, typically for about a dozen different frequency bands, to match a person's particular hearing loss. Gain adjustment is a bit like the graphic equalizer on a stereo, where you can turn different frequency bands up or down to emphasize speech, treble, bass, or particular instruments. Compression: This is a key feature of digital hearing aids. Although it's complex, and there are numerous different kinds, the basic idea is simple. A person with normal hearing can hear the full range of loud and soft sounds (from falling leaves to jets screaming overhead) for all frequencies, but someone with a hearing impairment will hear a smaller range of sounds for certain frequency bands (they will only hear sounds of those frequencies if they're loud). Sound classification: This categorizes the sounds you can hear into music, speech, noise or whatever and amplifies them (or reduces them) selectively. • •

  8. Sophisticated hearing aids effectively figure out what kind of environment you're in (concert hall, noisy restaurant, lecture theater with distant speaker, or whatever) and apply a different amplification pattern to the sounds you're hearing. Speech enhancement: This selectively boosts sound frequencies in the range from a few hundred to a few thousand hertz, which carry most of the energy in human speech. Feedback reduction: Hearing aid users have to suffer two kinds of feedback: acoustic and mechanical. Electrically amplified sound suffers from acoustic feedback: if you turn the volume up too much, the amplified sound enters the microphone with the original sound, gets amplified, enters the microphone again, and so on until you hear a horrible, deafening whistle. Digital hearing aids can also remove mechanical feedback noise from such things as jaw movements. Noise reduction: This works a bit like the noise reduction buttons on old-fashioned cassette tape recorders or (noise canceling headphones) to remove steady background noise (such as hiss or low-frequency vibrations on airplanes and trains) from the "signals" (speech sounds or music) you actually want to hear. • • •

  9. The hearing aid industry is built on innovation, it is like an arms race, if one manufacturer stands still they will simply lose out. For this reason hearing instrument technology is constantly evolving and changing. The fortunes of the big six hearing device manufacturers is built on constant research and innovation. The author of the article spoke about how the concepts around hearing aids have been changing over the last few years. He felt that wireless hearing device innovation had really changed everything. I think that wireless hearing technology has delivered real benefit for people with hearing loss. It has helped to ensure that people with hearing loss can get benefit in as many situations as possible. Initially, the only manufacturer who seemed to really understand the opportunity was Widex. Widex researchers believed that the real opportunity from wireless communication wasn't connecting to ancillary devices. It was connecting the hearing aids to each other which for the first time would allow two hearing aids to act as a system. One of the things that is often said about the Widex sound in recent years is the sense of it being like natural hearing. This strategy of hearing aids working together allows them to make decisions together to provide the very best performance forthe situation they were in.
