Hearing Aids - What You Should Know...
Those who benefit from the use of a hearing device can tell you, you will enjoy a "new life" with your hearing aid. Understanding how your hearing works, and knowing your options for hearing improvement are essential to making the right choice.
Hearing is a complicated and intricate process. As sound passes through each ear, it sets off a chain reaction. Sound wave vibrations are collected in the outer ear and funneled through the ear canal. The vibrations then strike the eardrum. The eardrum vibrates the delicate bones of the middle ear, which conduct the vibrations to the fluid in the inner ear. Tiny nerve endings in the cochlea, called hair cells, transform the vibrations into electro-chemical impulses. These impulses travel to the brain where they are understood as sounds such as speech, music or noise.
There are a number of conditions that cause a disruption in the hearing process and can lead to hearing loss. the two most common types of hearing loss are sensorineural and conductive.
