Condition is down.

What are the digital hearing aid channels?

Digital hearing aids are apart from these 3 basic structures, there are also 3 basic factors. There is a built-in precision tool that can process sound. Loss of hearing of specific sound frequencies and suppress unnecessary audio frequency ranges we call it frequency compression, for example, it can amplify high-pitched sounds (high frequencies) so that users can hear them clearly. And loud sounds (low frequencies) do not sound very harsh. These are things that analog hearing aids cannot do. In addition, most people with hearing loss have a hearing loss. Hearing loss is often caused by high-frequency sounds and the reason why digital hearing aids are so popular.

What are hearing aid components? What is the principle?
  1. Microphone
  2. Amplifiers
  3. Speaker (Receiver)
  4. Battery
  5. External Machine Model

Hearing aid principles: After receiving external sound waves the microphone converts sound into radio waves, and the amplifier converts the power of the corresponding speaker ( receiver ) to the intensity required by the hearing aid according to the level of adjustment. The receiver then converts the corresponding energy back into sound waves and sends them to the wearer’s ears.

How many types of hearing aids are there?

Why can’t I hear clearly when I wear a hearing aid?

There may be many reasons why you may not be able to hear clearly even though you wear a hearing aid. Here are some possible reasons:

  • Improper adjustment: it is necessary to adjust and adjust the hearing aid to meet the individual hearing needs if the sound amplified by the hearing aid is not loud enough. May not provide the best hearing enhancement.
  • Surrounding noise: in a noisy environment even people with normal hearing can have similar problems when amplification obscures part of speech and interferes with speech understanding. In this case, using a hearing aid with a highly effective noise canceling directional microphone function can help.
  • Poor speech discrimination: that is, you can hear the sound but you can’t understand the meaning or hear it clearly. In reality, hearing aids amplify sound so that we can hear it, and the brain’s job is to analyze and determine the meaning of sounds. However, because when a person with hearing loss is in a “silent” state for a long time, the brain gradually loses the memory of speech. Therefore, after wearing the hearing aid, there will be problems in hearing the sound. But always heard clearly however, the brain is malleable, as long as you wear hearing aids for a long time, cooperate with daily language communication and train the brain, the more clearly you can hear.
  • Adjustment period: adjustment is required after wearing a new hearing aid. This is because the auditory system takes time to adapt to new auditory input methods. It may take time and patience to get used to hearing aids at first. Adaptive can refer to this method of progressive use of hearing aids.

If the distance is too far, you cannot hear clearly. Or you can choose a hearing aid with bluetooth function which can connect to your mobile phone via bluetooth so that the sound can be sent directly to your ears.
