HOW IMPORTANT IS IT TO CARE FOR YOUR PRECIOUS HEARING AIDS??
What is a HEARING AID? How does it help you?
A HEARING AID is a device that is exclusively designed to improve the hearing of a person who is suffering from HEARING LOSS. HEARING AIDS are usually battery operated, but as technology improves HEARING AID manufacturers have also come up with HEARING AIDS that are rechargeable, waterproof, and with a lot of other features that is on par with the growing technology.
WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT PARTS OF A HEARING AID?
Microphone: Picks up sound and sends it to the amplifier.
Amplifier: Converts the sound into electric signals and sends it to the receiver or the speaker.
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.
Wax Guard: It is a small filter and it mainly prevents the EAR WAX from entering inside the HEARING AID.
