By Hilda Durham


It is actually tiring to repeat your sentences over and over again to a person who does not hear what you are saying. But then getting angry or irritated would not do you any good. So instead of being, it would be better if you can help that person out to afford himself of a hearing aid. Speaking of this, there are actually several shops selling hearing aid Port St Lucie .

This tool will help greatly in improving the capability of one person to hear. Actually, the loss of hearing is not acquired genetically but as the effect of disease, old age, medicines, and injury from noise. That is basically because the hair cells in the ears are damaged which are in charge of sensing the sounds.

So what this mechanism does is that is picks up the sound waves and then magnifies them as they enter the ears. So the process happens when the hair cells catch the vibrations and convert them into signals which are then transmitted to the brain. But if the person has a more severe level of this impairment, then he would have to avail a better amplifier.

But then if you are not sure of the state in which that person in, you can accompany him to an otolayringologist or an audiologist. An otolayringologist is a doctor who specializes in the field of nose, ear, and throat disorders and will investigate the cause of the impairment. While an audiologist is an audio health professional and will conduct tests to assess they degree and type of loss.

Another reason why there is a need to consult a physician first is for you to buy the right hearing aids. They actually have different styles. One is the BTE, the other one is the ITE, and the last one is the ITC. Aside from their features, they are also fitted to they type of impairment as identified in the evaluation.

Behind the ear or BTE consist of a hard plastic case which is worn behind the auditory organ and is connected to a plastic mold that fits inside the outer part of the organ. The electronic tool is held in the case behind. So the process of sound transmission starts from the mold, then to the hearing aid, and into the ear.

While the second one is the in the ear or the ITE style. These ones are used to cater to mild to severe impairment. With this, style, the electronic tool is placed in a case which is made of a hard plastic. Some of the ITE styles possess added features such as the telecoil. This feature is what makes the conversations in the telephone as well as in places with special sound systems to be heard well.

And last of the styles is the ITC or the in the canal style. This one has two styles, the one which fits the whole canal and the one that is hidden inside. But then either of the two, serve to have a mild to worst impairment.

Also, this mechanism has two kinds, the analog and the digital. The analog is capable of being customized according to the specification of the physician while the digital can be adjusted by the doctor according to the need of the patient. So this is the importance of consulting a physician first before buying this mechanism.
