Kuulmisaparaatide

Kuulmisaparaatide, also known as hearing aids, are small electronic devices designed to amplify sound and improve hearing for individuals with hearing loss. They are typically worn behind the ear or in the ear canal and can be custom-made or off-the-shelf. Hearing aids work by picking up sound waves, amplifying them, and then sending the amplified sound to the ear. They can be programmed to adjust to different environments and situations, such as quiet settings or noisy environments. There are various types of hearing aids, including behind-the-ear (BTE), in-the-ear (ITE), in-the-canal (ITC), and completely-in-the-canal (CIC) models. Some hearing aids also have additional features like telecoil for amplifying telephone sounds, tinnitus masking, and directional microphones. Regular maintenance and adjustments are necessary to ensure the hearing aids continue to function effectively. The use of hearing aids can significantly improve the quality of life for individuals with hearing loss by enhancing communication, reducing social isolation, and promoting overall well-being.
