Did you know there are different degrees of hearing in many different frequencies in each of your ears? Just as everyone is unique, the level of hearing differs from person to person and is dependent on a variety of factors. For example, some people are born with a lack of hearing. Others begin to lose their hearing in one or perhaps both of their ears as they age. No matter the reason, technology has made it possible for people with hearing issues to hear sounds like never before, thanks to assistive listening devices.
Assistive listening devices (ALDs) amplify voices and other sounds you want to hear. Oftentimes, the devices work with cochlear implants or hearings aids. They’re also small and discrete enough that they won’t impede on your day-to-day life.
As an added benefit, there are a few different types of ALDs available to best suit your needs. Unsure of what type of device is best for you? Let’s take a look at a few of the advantages and disadvantages of each type.
If you’re still unsure what device would be best for you and your needs, schedule an appointment to discuss your options with your doctor. After discussing the pros and cons of each device, he or she will help choose the device that will help your hearing the most.
