Dealing with hearing loss, no matter the cause, can negatively impact your career, relationships and overall quality of life. Fortunately, there are various technologies available to help manage your hearing problems, and one of the easiest solutions is using a hearing aid.
Hearing aids are small electronic devices worn in or behind your ear that assist you in hearing. They amplify sound and can help people hear better in both quiet and noisy environments. Hearing aids allow you to regain the confidence you once had in social situations and give you the ability to engage comfortably with your friends and loved ones.
The team of expert audiologists and ear, nose and throat (ENT) physicians at The Ohio State Wexner Medical Center will work closely with you to determine the exact level of your hearing loss and treat any underlying conditions that might be causing it. Then, we can fit you with the ideal hearing aid type to help improve your hearing and get you back to enjoying life.
Types of hearing aids available from the Ohio State Wexner Medical Center
Hearing aids vary by size, their placement (behind the ear or completely inside the ear canal) and how much they amplify sound. The hearing aid that will work best for you depends on what kind of hearing loss you have and how severe it is.
Choosing the right hearing aid is essential and there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Our audiologists can help make sure you choose the correct device for your medical issues, financial budget and goals.
