Hearing AIDS have only entered the China market for twenty or thirty years, and many people don't know much about hearing AIDS. In fact, hearing AIDS are not medical devices like sphygmomanometer and blood glucose meter. You can only choose models and functions according to your own preferences. Hearing AIDS need to be professionally fitted according to the degree of hearing loss and hearing needs. No hearing aid can fit all ears.
Correct understanding of hearing AIDS
Hearing AIDS can be divided into simulators and digital machines in principle. Most of the hearing AIDS we found on shopping websites are simulators.
What's the difference between a simulator and a digital computer?
The universal simulator can amplify all sounds, including noise. Just like putting a megaphone on your ear, it often makes the wearer feel too noisy. Using this hearing aid for a long time may cause secondary hearing loss, and the more you wear it, the more deaf you become. It is generally not recommended to buy.
Professional hearing AIDS are mostly digital machines, which can compress sound and reduce noise, and can be debugged according to different hearing losses, so as to achieve the effect of "listening in a low voice, and treble is not afraid of noise". This can make the wearer get better listening effect and protect the residual hearing to some extent.
Is the hearing aid as expensive as possible?
In this case, is the hearing aid as expensive as possible? What Bian Xiang Xiao tells you is that the more expensive the hearing aid, the better, and the right one is good.
Each brand will have different grades of high school, high school and low school. To choose one, we should not only consider our own hearing loss and actual hearing needs, but also consider the economic situation.
For example, flat hearing loss, there is no need to choose too many channels of hearing AIDS; If the hearing loss is light and does not gradually decline, there is no need to choose a hearing aid with super powers.
The hearing loss is moderate. Retired at home, most of them just need to talk to their wives at home. In fact, hearing AIDS with low price and average performance can meet the demand.
I suggest you go to the hearing aid fitting center to audition first, compare the experiences of different brands horizontally, and then compare them vertically, and choose a brand audition from three grades: high, medium and low. Finally, according to the comprehensive consideration of audition effect and price, only the suitable ones are selected, not the expensive ones.
In addition, we should remind everyone that, like all walks of life, the professional quality of locksmith is also high and low. I bought a high-quality hearing aid, but the fitting is not suitable, which will not only lead to poor hearing aid effect, but also damage my hearing after a long time.
Choosing a professional fitter, just like choosing a good doctor, can help us solve the listening problem better.
How can I find a professional fitter?
1. Choose a professional fitting organization.
Professional hearing aid fitting institutions should have certain hearing testing and hearing aid fitting equipment.
General adult professional hearing AIDS need pure tone audiometry, speech audiometry and sound field evaluation. Hearing aid fitting for children (especially children) needs middle ear analyzer, otoacoustic emission, frequency-specific brainstem response, real ear analyzer, computer, HIPRO programmer and so on.
2. Look at the fitter qualification certificate.
Generally speaking, hearing aid fitters who are more concerned about hearing aid fitting work and love to study and study will try their best to obtain the hearing aid fitter qualification certificate. At present, there are three certificates and four certificates. When choosing a fitter, you can ask the fitter in the store if he has such a certificate.
3. Look at the professionalism of the reception.
Hearing aid fitting is easy to learn but difficult to master. It is not difficult to learn the fitting process, but it is not easy to do it well.
It must be clear that hearing AIDS can't be bought in buy buy, so you must go to a professional institution to find professionals for hearing testing and fitting. Finally, I hope everyone can choose the most suitable hearing aid.
