If you’ve been diagnosed with hearing loss, hearing aids could help you to hear better and communicate more confidently.
Benefits of hearing aids
Hearing aids come in different shapes and sizes, but all work in a similar way. They use microphones to pick up the sounds around you. A processing chip adjusts the sound digitally. The sounds are then amplified and played into your ear.
You can get modern, good quality hearing aids for free on the NHS. Hearing aids can also be bought from private audiology services.
Your hearing aids will be specially programmed to match the results of your hearing test.
Hearing aids can:
- make quieter sounds easier to hear
- make loud sounds more comfortable
- make conversations easier
- help you hear on the phone
- help you enjoy music, TV and the radio
- help you hear in noisy places.
