Hearing Aids Q&A

What are hearing aids?

A hearing aid is a small electronic device that you wear in or behind your ear to improve your hearing.

The device contains a microphone, speaker, and an amplifier to make sounds louder whether you’re in a quiet or noisy environment. Hearing aids can enhance the volume of sounds and the clarity of your conversations with other people.

When should I consider hearing aids?

You may benefit from hearing aids if you have hearing loss that results from damage to the sensory cells in your inner ear. This type of hearing loss can occur because of ear injuries, disease, or age-related changes in the ear.

The South Lake Ears Nose and Throat, Hearing and Tinnitus Center team recommends scheduling a hearing loss evaluation if you:

  • Keep the television or radio very loud
  • Can’t hear in noisy spaces
  • Have difficulty following conversations
  • Feel like everyone mumbles or speaks softly

The team offers comprehensive hearing evaluations and provides a wide range of hearing aids in-office. They can provide hearing aid repair services on-site to ensure your hearing aids fit well and are working properly.
