1. Five Interesting Facts About Hearing Aids
If you have mild or moderate hearing
loss, you may have trouble following
conversations in crowded rooms,
picking out individual instruments in a
piece of music or responding when an
alarm or siren goes off. Hearing aids
are most commonly used for people
with damage to the hair cells of your
inner ear. Too much damage prevents your ears from amplifying
sound waves enough for your brain to detect them. Here are a
few interesting facts to get you started if you’re considering
hearing aids for yourself or a member of your family.
1. Hearing devices come in three main styles. Behind-the-ear, or
BTE, aids are plastic cases for behind your ear, attached to a wire
that goes into your ear canal. In-the-ear, or ITE, aids have the
plastic case inside your ear. In-the-canal, or ITC, aids are
practically invisible to other people.
2. 80% of people who need hearing aid don’t have hearing
devices. The National Institute on Deafness and Other
Communication Disorders reports that only one out of five
individuals with hearing loss have hearing aids.
3. Two hearing aids are better than one in most cases. You

2. do better with just one hearing aid. An audiologist can help you
determine whether you should get one or two hearing aids.
4. Batteries are among the hearing accessories can make your
hearing aid work better and last longer. Batteries last 5 to 14
days, and you can get them from a supermarket or hearing aid
provider. Mercury-free batteries are better for the environment.
Battery carriers and testers help you ensure that you won’t run
out of battery life unexpectedly.
5. Medicaid provides hearing aid help to low-income children and
adults up to age 21. Medicare, for older adults, may help with the
cost. Other insurance plans may help cover the cost of a hearing
test.
