Receiver: Converts the electric signal from the microphone into acoustic signals, which makes it easier for the user to hear.
Battery: As the name says, it is a power source for the HEARING AID. These batteries are either rechargeable or disposable zinc-air batteries.
Apart from the details mentioned above, there are a few more parts as well.
Volume Control: This button helps the user to adjust the loudness of sound.
Ear Hook: A small plastic that basically connects the device and loops over the top of the ear.
Ear Mold: This is part of the HEARING AID that is located directly in the EAR canal. It is usually custom-made. The Audiologist or HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONAL takes the impression of the ear to create a personalized ear mold.
