How to Pick the Perfect Hearing Amplifier
Do you ever find yourself repeating yourself
to your spouse? Ever said something only to
have your spouse act like he or she didn’t
hear you? It gets pretty annoying, doesn’t it?
It doesn’t have to be annoying and
frustrating anymore.
Have your spouse get his or her hearing
checked, as it’s possible he or she has
hearing loss or tinnitus, not just “selective”
hearing loss, as some husbands and wives
like to call it. Actually, they blame it on selective hearing loss, but
some couples learn that there’s an underlying hearing problem.
Before you can determine what the best hearing amplifier is for
your situation, you have to know just how much hearing loss you
have sustained. Hearing loss could be from age, being exposed to
loud sounds, medication and illness, so it’s best to get checked
out by a doctor.
That is, unless you know you listened to head-banging music
through headphones for most of your life — oh, and that the
volume was cranked up to the maximum. Or, if you were flying in
a helicopter and someone was shooting a 50-caliber rifle right
next to your ear. That’s a good way to get tinnitus, too — you
know, that annoying dinging in your ear that never seems to go
away.
Once you determine you need a hearing amplifier, you may want
to speak with your spouse or other family members regarding the
type you should get. Ultimately, the type you choose should be
the type you are most comfortable with. Speaking with your

spouse or family member will also help you feel more comfortable
about what type to choose. After you decide which type you
would like, then you need to find a reputable hearing aid
company, such as Abry Hearing.
During your research, review that company’s website. A company
such as Abry hearing can also help you make a decision as to the
type of hearing amplifier would best suit your needs. The
company will be able to tell you which hearing aids are great for
excessive hearing loss, tinnitus, limited hearing loss or other
problems that contributed to hearing loss.
You may want to choose a behind-the-ear, in-the-ear or a canal
type hearing amplifier. The canal-type hearing amplifiers are
small and are not suited for children because of their size. They
may not be great for someone who likes to adjust the hearing
amplifier a lot because of their small size, but if you get the in-
the-canal type with a remote control, you can adjust to your
heart’s content without removing the amplifiers.
The canal type and its remote allow users to change the volume,
set the amplifiers for listening to the television, the radio or for
outside just enjoying nature. You don’t have to take them out to
adjust them, and they are “hidden” inside the ear canals.
Once you have chosen the hearing amplifier you are most
interested in, contact us at Abry Hearing to discuss your choice,
and the company will help you determine if the type you are
interested in is the best fit for you.
