HEARING AID TECHNOLOGY
Hearing Technology has developed at a rapid pace, so much so that only about 5% of individuals with a hearing loss cannot be assisted to hear better. About 90% of people with reduced hearing have the loss in both ears, sometimes more so on one side. It is highly beneficial to use two instruments to enhance listening and hearing in cases like this.
Listening with both ears is called ‘binaural’ and is normally what nature intended. The vast majority of us are born with this ability. Having amplified sound to both ears has definite benefits over just one and includes –
- Having better understanding in noisy conditions and group situations
- A much better sound quality overall
- The sound is more natural or balanced
- It’s more relaxing to listen this way
- The user can set sound levels to a lower rating, making it more comfortable
- Helping improve where the source of a particular sound is coming from
