What’s That in Your Ear?

Every hearing instrument is a miniature conglomeration of electronic circuitry encased in plastic. Every hearing instrument has these parts: a microphone that picks up sound, an amplifier to boost the sound, and a receiver that delivers the amplified sound into the ear. All are powered by tiny replaceable batteries.

Any hearing instrument you buy should help to compensate for your hearing loss and be comfortable to wear. Equally important is the attitude and commitment of the wearer—whether that’s you or someone close to you. It takes time and dedication to get the best possible result from any hearing instrument.

Fortunately, you can try hearing instruments without fear—there’s a mandated trial period of a minimum of 30 days in the U.S. (it varies by state) so you can be sure that your new instruments meet your criteria.

There are many makes of hearing instruments, and many models from each manufacturer. What’s important is to find the best solution for your listening requirements.
