Hearing Amplifier & Hearing Aids - The Difference

In essence, the difference between a hearing amplifier and a hearing aid lies in their functionality and purpose.

A hearing amplifier is designed to enhance the overall volume of sounds, making them louder and more audible for the user. It is primarily used for individuals with mild hearing loss or for situations where slight amplification is needed, such as watching television or having conversations in quiet environments. However, it does not address specific frequencies or customize sound processing to individual hearing needs.

On the other hand, a hearing aid is a sophisticated medical device that is programmed to amplify sounds selectively based on an individual's unique hearing profile. It is designed to address specific frequencies of hearing loss and provide tailored amplification to improve speech clarity and overall hearing quality. Hearing aids also often come with advanced features such as noise reduction, feedback suppression, and directional microphones to enhance the listening experience in various environments.

Choosing a hearing amplifier over a hearing aid offers distinct advantages, particularly with our customizable and upgradeable solution. Our hearing amplifiers provide immediate relief for mild to moderate hearing impairments, offering amplified sound tailored to individual preferences. What sets us apart is our custom-fitted design, ensuring maximum comfort and stability for users.

Moreover, our amplifiers are equipped with programmable features, empowering users to fine-tune their listening experience effortlessly. This customization caters to diverse environments and personal needs, enhancing clarity and comfort.

But what truly distinguishes our product is its potential for future growth. With programmable digital signal processing (DSP), users can seamlessly transition to a full-fledged hearing aid with the guidance of an audiologist. This forward-thinking approach ensures that as hearing needs evolve, our amplifier evolves too, providing a long-term solution that prioritizes flexibility and user satisfaction.

In conclusion, our custom-fitted hearing amplifier offers a versatile and adaptable solution that not only addresses immediate hearing needs but also provides a pathway to advanced assistance in the future, making it the ideal choice for those seeking both immediate relief and long-term usability.

CIC, RIC, BTE Hearing Amplifiers - The Difference

Custom In-The-Canal (CIC), Receiver-In-Canal (RIC), and Behind-The-Ear (BTE) hearing amplifiers vary significantly in design, fitting, and functionality. Here are the key differences:

  1. Design and Size:
  2. Fitting Process:
  3. Visibility:
  4. Amplification and Power:
  5. Feedback and Occlusion:
  6. Features and Connectivity:
  7. Maintenance and Repairs:

In summary, the choice between CIC, RIC, and BTE hearing amplifiers depends on factors such as hearing loss severity, visibility preferences, lifestyle, and desired features. A thorough evaluation by a hearing care professional is essential to determine the most suitable option for an individual's needs.

What are the different types of hearing amplifiers available?

  • We offer three main types of hearing amplifiers: Custom In-The-Canal (CIC), Receiver-In-Canal (RIC), and Behind-The-Ear (BTE). Each type varies in design, fitting, and functionality to cater to different hearing needs and preferences.

How do I choose the right type of hearing amplifier for me?

The choice of hearing amplifier depends on factors such as the severity of your hearing loss, lifestyle, visibility preferences, and desired features. Our team of experts can guide you through the selection process to find the best option for your individual needs.

Are hearing amplifiers suitable for all types of hearing loss?

Our range of hearing amplifiers is designed to accommodate various degrees of hearing loss, from mild to severe. During the consultation process, we assess your hearing profile to recommend the most suitable amplifier for your specific requirements.

How do I get a custom-fitted hearing amplifier?

Custom-fitted hearing amplifiers, such as CIC models, require impressions of your ear canal for a perfect fit. Once you place an order, we provide instructions for obtaining ear impressions, which are then used to manufacture your personalized amplifier.

What features do your hearing amplifiers offer?

Our hearing amplifiers come with a range of features to enhance your listening experience, including noise reduction, feedback suppression, directional microphones, and wireless connectivity options. We tailor the features to suit your lifestyle and preferences.

How do I maintain and care for my hearing amplifier?

Proper maintenance is essential to ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your hearing amplifier. We provide guidance on cleaning, battery replacement, and troubleshooting common issues. Regular check-ups with our professionals also help to address any concerns and keep your device in top condition.

Do you offer warranties and support for your hearing amplifiers?

Yes, all our hearing amplifiers come with warranties to cover manufacturing defects and ensure your peace of mind. Additionally, our dedicated customer support team is available to assist you with any questions or issues you may encounter throughout your journey with our products.

What is the most common hearing loss frequencies?

The most common frequencies affected by hearing loss are typically those in the speech range, which is crucial for understanding conversation. These frequencies range from about 500 Hz to 4000 Hz. Within this range, the frequencies around 1000 Hz to 2000 Hz are particularly vulnerable and commonly affected in many types of hearing loss. This is because these frequencies encompass the fundamental frequencies of most speech sounds, including vowel sounds and some consonants. Consequently, hearing loss in this range can lead to difficulties understanding speech clearly, especially in noisy environments.
