Features of Digital Hearing Aids
Today, digital hearing aids are the mainstream, and the technology is advancing rapidly.
Hearing aids have gone digital, making it easier to hear high and low pitched sounds, as well as suppressing only the tinnitus.
One of the most important features of digital hearing aids is the ease with which sound can be adjusted.
Once you have purchased your hearing aids, we often hear that high pitched sounds are too loud or that you have difficulty hearing in crowded places. The best part is that you can stop by the store each time you need help, and we can respond to your symptoms as often as you like.
Difference by price
The difference in price will vary depending on the features of the hearing aid.
The more features a hearing aid has, such as the ability to distinguish between human speech and other sounds, the ability to reduce background noise, or the ability to reduce the volume of other sounds, the more expensive it will be. In other words, the higher the performance of the computer inside the hearing aid, the higher the price. The difference in price is not so great depending on the shape of the hearing aid, regardless of whether it is an in-the-ear or in-the-hole type.
Difference between a hearing aid and a sound collector
Most of the products sold at electronics retailers and by mail order are called "sound collectors. Although they are inexpensive, with prices starting at around 10,000 yen, "sound collectors" and "hearing aids" are not the same thing.
The differences are as follows
-
hearing aid
A hearing aid is a medical device. In order to sell hearing aids, which are controlled medical devices (Class II), approval is required by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare as stipulated by the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law.
-

Types of Hearing Aids
Hearing aids come in many shapes and sizes.
At Glasses of Osaka, we mainly deal with digital hearing aids. We will help you choose the best hearing aid for your hearing condition and the environment in which you will be using it. Just as technology in computers and cell phones has evolved considerably in recent years, so too have hearing aids. Not only are they small and unobtrusive, they are also small but increasingly offer a great deal of functionality.
Earhole type (fits in the ear hole)
This type of hearing aid is placed in the ear canal. There are various types of in-the-ear hearing aids, from those that are placed so deep in the ear canal that it is difficult to see the hearing aid when looking closely, to high-power types that cover the ear canal and are placed inside the ear. Usually, the hearing aid is custom-made to fit the shape of the ear canal and the level of hearing loss.

Ear-hanging type (worn behind the ear)
The earpiece type is worn behind the ear. The ear-mounted type, in which the main body is placed over the ear, is now the most common type of hearing aid. There are a variety of types, from small, easy-to-handle large ones to those with a wide range of color variations to choose from. In recent years, the RIC type, in which the sound-emitting parts are separated from the main body, has become popular.
