HEARING AID TRIAL & FITTING

A hearing aid is a small electronic device that you wear in or behind your ear. It makessome sound louder so that a person with hearing loss can listen, communicate, andparticipate more successfully in daily activities. A hearing aid can help people withhearing loss to hear better in both quiet and noisy situations.

Hearing aids are primarily useful in improving the hearing and speech comprehension ofpeople who have hearing loss that results from damage to the small sensory cells in theinner ear, called hair cells. This type of hearing loss is called sensori neural hearingloss. The damage can occur because of disease, aging, or injury from noise or certainmedicines.

A hearing aid magnifies sound vibrations entering the ear. Surviving hair cells detect the largervibrations and convert them into neural signals that are passed along to the brain

To get an individually fitted hearing aid, it is necessary to make a casting of the ear canal toensure that the ear mould fits perfectly. No two ears are alike and especially children need tohave new ear moulds made regularly as their ears grow and mature.
