Types of Hearing Loss
Sensorineural Hearing Loss (nerve loss)
Conductive Hearing Loss
Mixed Hearing Loss (both nerve and conductive loss)
A hearing aid is an electronic device worn in or behind the ear to amplify sound and help users hear better in all different environments. All our hearing aids are digital and wireless, which means they provide a personalised listening experience and can easily adapt the the environment.
But, hearing aids are more than just a fancy technology; they reconnect you to your world. A recent university study revealed people who are more socially connected to family, friends, and community are happier, healthier, and actually live longer.
Limestone Audiology & Tinnitus Clinic offers seven different styles that fall into three main categories: Behind-the-Ear, Receiver-in-Ear, and custom hearing aids. Finding your hearing aid style is personal and depends largely on three factors.
- Your degree of hearing loss. In-the-Ear and Behind-the-Ear hearing aids are better for treating severe hearing loss. While custom hearing aids worn in the ear canal are a favourite of those with mild to moderate hearing loss.
- Your lifestyle and interests. Are you an avid hiker, a movie buff, or a foodie? You can choose a style that helps block out the wind, streams sound directly to your device, or easily adjusts in noisy environments.
- Your personal preferences. For some people, comfort is king. For others, it’s all about convenience. And, of course, some want the most discrete hearing aid possible. There is a style to suit your needs.
