Human ear and hearing loss - Before understanding hearing loss, we should know a little about our ears. The diagram of the human ear is given below which is self explanatory to understand the hearloss further.

Types of hearing loss

Hearing loss increases as our age increases are called Presbycusis which is the common reason. Generally, we can classify hearing loss in 3 ways as given below: 1. Conductive hearing loss is related to the outer or middle ear. 2. Sensorineural is related to the inner ear. 3. Mixed hearing loss combines Conductive and Sensorineural hearing loss.

What are hearing aids? Hearing aids are small devices to keep inside and behind  the ear to enhance the listening power of a person who has hearing problems. They are working on chargeable or non rechargeable small size batteries which are supplied with the hearing aid device and easily available in the market and online e-commerce platform.
How does a hearing aid work? It is an electronic device, a combination of mic, amplifier and speaker. When the sound waves come to the ear, a mic fitted in the hearing aid device receives the sound waves, then the amplifier part amplifies the sound waves. After that the speaker sends the enhanced signal to the brain of the people. In this way,  a person having a hearing aid device will get the audible sound and enjoy a normal life.
Who needs the hearing aid device?? Hearing aid devices are beneficial to the people who are suffering from hearing loss . The main reason for the hearing  loss may be the damage to the inner ear auditory nerve that connects the ear to the brain. The reasons of hearing loss may be like below:
Aging	Some Diseases
Ear infection	Loud noises
Certain medications	Trauma to the head or ear.
Build up of Earwax	Poor nutrition
Damage to the inner ear	Unusual bone growths or tumors
Ruptured eardrum, also known as tympanic membrane perforation.	Heredity
Generally hearing loss is irreversible, but with the help of hearing aid devices we can improve our hearing power. Therefore it is advised to protect your ears from different types of noises.

Symptoms of hearing loss: Some of the symptoms are mentioned below: If we feel that nearby people are talking too softly or mumbles. If we often ask people to repeat the words, speak slowly, clearly and loduly. If we  have difficulty listening on the phone. If we feel strain to  listen in the group meeting. If we feel difficulty understanding the word in crowded or noisy places. If we prefer higher volume for listening to TV, audio devices  compared to other people. Muffling of speech and other sounds. If we have a problem understanding the consonants in the words. If we are irritated with background noise. If we feel ringing in the ears, it is called tinnitus.

Who will help to diagnose the hearing loss, and tell the level of the hearing loss, and type of the suitable hearing aid device? If you are feeling any of the above problems or sudden  loss of hearing, especially in one ear. We need to visit a clinic, healthcare provider, doctor or specialist or audiologist. A Doctor specialist (ENT - Ear, Nose & Throat), Audiologists, Otolaryngologist (ENT) or healthcare provider will perform some hearing tests to diagnose the hearing loss, its level, and advise the medications and suitable hearing aid device.

Who is the sufferer from hearing loss? Small babies to senior citizens, anyone can suffer from hearing loss. In some cases of deaf born children, gene therapy may be helpful to regain some hearing power.  There are various reasons as mentioned earlier,  to affect your hearing power but loud noise is one of the most important reasons for hearing loss. Hearing loss cannot be reversed but can be reduced with the help of surgery in some cases. However, in most of the cases,  hearing loss can be reduced with the help of hearing aid devices.

Types of hearing aid devices: Generally, two types of hearing aid devices are available in the market as given below: Analog Hearing Aid Devices: These  devices are simple and older, cheap and have very little features. Normally avoid purchasing them. Digital Hearing Aid Devices: These devices use the latest digital technology, similar to computers and smartphones. They have various smart features like automatic adjustment of volume as per need, smaller size and more powerful. Though they are costlier than analog devices.

Style of hearing aids: Different types of styles of hearing aids are available in the market. They differ in the size  and placement (In The Ear, Behind-The Ear, In The Canal, etc.). Severe hearing loss require greater amplification of the sound and large size of device which may not fit in the ear canal. In this case, Behind-The-Ear (BTE) style may be suitable. The hearing aid styles are elaborated below:

In The Canal (ITC) hearing aid devices:

Fits inside the ear and is hard to see.

Helpful in mild to moderate severe hearing loss.

Due to its small size , it is difficult to adjust and remove.

It is not suitable for children and persons having difficulty to adjust and remove due to its small size.

Too much possibility to be clogged by earwax.

Invisible-In-Canal (IIC) hearing aid devices:

Almost impossible to see by others.

You may keep and remove it everyday or put even a month at a stretch.

Completely-In-Canal hearing aids (CIC) and Mini CIC:

Customized to fit inside the canal.

Smallest size and rarely noticeable by others.

Helpful in mild to moderate hearing loss.

Wind noise resistant during an outside visit.

Lack of volume control.

Small battery, short life, frequently to be replaced, difficult to be handled.

Too much possibility  to be clogged due to earwax.

In-The-Ear (ITE) hearing aid devices:

Encased in a plastic cover.

Can be fitted completely inside the outer ear.

Helpful for mild to severe hearing loss.

Have visible, larger size, and more control options.

Easy to handle the device and battery due to its larger size.

Not suitable for children whose ears shape and size are still changing due to growth.

Pick up more wind noise than a smaller size device during an outside visit.

it may be clogged due to earwax.

Behind-The-Ear (BTE)  and mini BTE hearing aid devices:

BTE Device is placed behind the ear in a plastic cover.

A plastic ear  of BTE device is placed inside the outer ear to direct the sound into the human ear.

These BTE devices are more visible and larger in size, however nowadays smaller size devices are also available in the market.

In mini BTE devices, most of the part of the device is placed behind the ear, only a narrow tube is placed into the ear canal.

Not prone to be clogged with earwax.

Suitable for most of the  types of hearing loss.

Option for  both types of batteries (chargeable or non rechargeable) is available.

Will get good amplification (loud sound) due to the directional microphone.

Prone to wind noise.

Receiver-In-Canal (RIC) and Receiver-In-The-Ear (RITE) hearing aid devices:

Some parts of the device are placed behind the ear.

Receiver part of the device is placed in the ear or in the canal.

Both the parts (receiver and outer part) are connected with a tiny wire.

Smaller than BTE devices.

Low frequency sound goes naturally inside the ear and high frequency sound goes inside the ear after the amplification by the device.

RIC and RITE devices are preferred for mild hearing loss.

These devices have more control options and directional microphone.

Options for chargeable and nonchargeable batteries are available.

May be prone to be clogged with earwax.

Open Fit hearing aid devices

Similar to BTE, RIC and RITE.

It has an open dome in the ear which keeps  the ear canal clear.

It passes low frequency sounds naturally and high frequency sounds after amplification .

Suitable for the person who has hearing loss due to high frequency sound.

With this device, you can listen to your voice in a better way.

It is more visible and difficult to place because it is not customisable.

Bone Conduction hearing aid devices

It is an implanted device, not similar to the devices mentioned earlier in this blog.

By surgery, it is implanted/attached with bone behind the ear.

It is called a bone-Anchored Hearing Aid (BAHA).

This device sends the sound directly to the inner ear through the skull.

It is suitable for the people who have hearing loss due to middle ear problems  or hearing loss in one ear.

Middle Ear Implant (MEI) hearing aid device

By surgery, it is implanted in a bone of the middle ear. Bone reacts directly as per the sound waves.

It is suitable for sensorineural hearing loss caused by the damage to the inner ear.

What is the difference between the Hearing aids and Cochlear implants?

Hearing aids are external devices which are helpful for mild to moderate hearing loss.

Cochlear implants are surgical insertion and helpful for severe hearing loss due to damage to the inner ear. Or we can say that when hearing aid devices are not successful, Cochlear implants may be recommended. In this method, the damaged part of the ear is bypassed and electrical signals stimulate the  auditory nerve directly.

Special features of the hearing aid devices:

IP Rating: IP69 rating is considered the best. Here number 6 denotes that the device is protected against dust, and number 9 denotes that it is protected against water when submerged deep into the water for a long period like 30 minutes and more.

Directional microphone: Devices having directional microphone work well when sound is coming from a particular direction. It reduced the wind noise or outside noise also.

Direct audit input option: Devices with this feature allow plugging in a remote microphone directly to the audio system like FM radio, TV or a similar device.

Noise reduction filters: Devices having good quality noise reduction filters will reduce the wind noise or outside noise more effectively.

Rechargeable batteries: Devices having the option of rechargeable batteries are considered better because it is easy to recharge rather than frequent replacement of the battery.

Telecoils: Devices having telecoils will work well when you are visiting public or crowded or noisy places like church, conference, seminar, theater,  restaurants, etc. you will get a better sound at such places.

Variable digital programming: Devices having options for variable digital programming, setting may be adjusted as per the different environments like home, crowded places, wedding functions, wind noise, outside noise, etc. Such an option provides better sound quality.

Remote control: Hearing aid devices with remote controls increase the life of the device because there is no need to fiddle with the device, setting may be adjusted remotely with the help of smartphone apps  or tablets, etc.

Synchronization If you are using two hearing aid machines, then with the help of this option, both machines can be synchronized and any adjustment or change with one machine will automatically be adjusted in another machine.

Bluetooth enabled hearing aid devices Nowadays, the latest hearing aid devices are loaded with bluetooth features. These devices can be controlled remotely with smartphone apps or tablets, etc. Audio from the smart devices can be streamed directly to the bluetooth enabled hearing aid devices.
