Hearing Aid by RG ENT Hospital

Description

Your ability to communicate is a priceless gift. Hearing loss isolates you from contact with other people. Our aim is to restore your quality of life through better hearing……

There are broadly two categories of hearing aids (HA) depending on the technology used:

    Analogue
    Digital

Analogue HA is like just loud-speaker. They have a switch for change of volume. They are generalized or what we can say over-the-counter. But they cannot separate the sounds coming from surrounding or conversation. They just enhance the volume and thus create disturbance to ones ears. They are not recommended though cheap.

Digital HA is one, which is computer chip based. They are programmable one. They can be individualized, based on that persons hearing loss. They can be re-programmed, in case of any difficulty or change in hearing loss. They are the one, which should be used in consultation with your doctor.
