Our Hearing Aid Clinic in Maharashtra

A hearing aid is a device designed to improve hearing by making sound audible to a person with hearing loss. Hearing aids are classified as medical devices in most countries, and regulated by the respective regulations. Small audio amplifiers such as PSAPs or other plain sound reinforcing systems cannot be sold as hearing aids.

Modern hearing aids require configuration to match the hearing loss, physical features, and lifestyle of the wearer. The hearing aid is fit to the most recent audiogram and is programmed by frequency. This process is called “fitting” and is performed by a Doctor of Audiology, also called an audiologist. The amount of benefit a hearing aid delivers depends in large part on the quality of its fitting.

Conductive Hearing loss:- It occurs when there is problen in conducting sound waves anywhere in Outer ear, Tympanic membrane (Ear drum) or Middale ear ossicles, Eustachian tube.

Sensorineural hearing loss:-This type of loss seen due to inner ear damage, or if there is a problem in nerve pathways from the inner ear to the brain, this is most commonly seen in gediatric populations. Most of the time medicine or surgery can not fix sensorineural hearing loss.
