If the audiologist at Acoustic Hearing Centre determines that you have a hearing loss, they will discuss with you your lifestyle and loss so you can pick the right hearing aid technology. We prescribe the hearing aids local residents have depended on since 2010, and we also offer cleaning and repair services.
How Hearing Aids Work
Hearing aids cannot replicate natural hearing but they can amplify sounds so you can hear them better. By turning up the volume on sounds, the tiny hairs in the inner ear vibrate and send the signals to the brain, which interprets them as sound so you can understand them. If that section of the brain does not get stimulated, it loses its ability to interpret sounds – so it will take your brain some time to re-learn how to interpret vibrations again. Pretty soon, you will be hearing things you have not heard in awhile!
Which Hearing Aid is Best for You?
Acoustic Hearing Centre prescribes a number of different hearing aid styles and will recommend one for you depending on your unique needs. Common hearing aid types are:
