CAN HELP
Q. I'm not hearing as well as I used to. My doctor said I should consider getting hearing aids. Exactly how does a hearing aid help people hear better? A. Hearing aids come in a variety of shapes and styles, but they all operate in the same basic way.
When we hear, our brain is interpreting the size or amplification of the sound waves that reverberate against our eardrums. As we grow older, a gradual deterioration occurs far within the inner ear or along the nerve endings that carry the impulses to the brain. (It may surprise you to learn that this deterioration may begin as early as age 30.)
To overcome this weakness in our hearing system, we use hearing aids to amplify the sound sent to our brain. You might think of a hearing aid as a miniature public address system.
Hearing aids today are incredibly small and inconspicuous. This is amazing, considering that each hearing aid must contain a microphone, an amplifier, a receiver, and a battery. Bukly aids are a thing of the past. Today's aids can fit inside the ear, behind the ear, or inside the temples of your glasses. Take your doctor's advice. Make an appointment with the Be (tone Hearing Aid Center.
Beltone is the nation's largest and best known manufacturer of hearing aids.
