Hearing Aid Benefits

The hearing system functions on the principle of stereo sound. The hearing center of the brain relies on two independent “microphones” – the ears. If only one ear is functioning properly, it may be difficult to understand speech in noisy environments and in locating the direction from which a sound is coming. This means that it is advisable to wear a hearing instrument in both ears, assuming it is appropriate based on the hearing loss.

Hearing aids can provide users:

• Memory
• Balance
• Lower Dementia risks
• Ability to localize sound
• Better speech understanding in a noisy environment
• Equal hearing in both ears
• Better sound quality
• Improved intelligibility
• Wireless Connectivity
• Improved social and emotional health
• Less listening fatigue
