Modern hearing aids
In most cases, people with hearing problems are assisted by hearing aids.
Depending on the technology used in CA, they are divided into several types: analog, programmable and digital.
At the location are allocated: pocket, behind-the-bones (most common), in-the-ear, spectacled frames and implantable СА.
With monoural hearing care, the patient wears CA only on one ear. At binauralnom-carries at once two - on the right and on the left ear.
In most cases, people are helped by SA. However, with large hearing loss, when a large part of the auditory receptors (hair cells) are damaged in a person, they do not always cope. In this situation, operation of cochlear implantation (CI) is recommended.
