Hearing aids
A hearing aid is a small digital device that can be worn in or behind the ear. Modern hearing aids contain highly advanced technology that is programmable to make specific adjustments to sounds based on an individual’s hearing. As a result, an individual can listen, communicate and in turn participate more fully in daily activities. This is linked with improved emotional and physical well-being.
Here at CEDA Healthcare we offer a wide range of hearing aids to suit your hearing and lifestyle requirements. Your individual needs will be discussed in detail with our hearing aid audiologist and you will receive honest and expert advice on choosing the best hearing aid for you as well as lifetime aftercare. We use sophisticated equipment to accurately programme hearing aids to your individual hearing loss and physical ear anatomy.
How can hearing aids help?
Hearing aids are primarily useful in improving the hearing and speech comprehension of people who have hearing loss that results from damage to the small sensory cells in the inner ear, called hair cells. This type of hearing loss is called sensorineural hearing loss. The damage can occur as a result of disease, aging, or injury from noise or certain medicines.
A hearing aid magnifies sound vibrations entering the ear. Surviving hair cells detect the larger vibrations and convert them into neural signals that are passed along to the brain. The greater the damage to a person’s hair cells, the more severe the hearing loss, and the greater the hearing aid amplification needed to make up the difference. However, there are practical limits to the amount of amplification a hearing aid can provide. In addition, if the inner ear is too damaged, even large vibrations will not be converted into neural signals. In this situation, a hearing aid would be ineffective.
