What Is a Hearing Aid and How Does It Work?

What is a Hearing Aid and How does it Work?

A hearing aid is more than a tiny device; it’s a life-changing tool that helps people reconnect with voices and the world around them. Whether you’ve noticed difficulty following conversations or want to enjoy clear hearing again, understanding how a hearing aid works can help you make the right choice.

What Is a Hearing Aid?

A hearing aid is a small electronic device designed to amplify sound for individuals with hearing loss. It picks up sound through a microphone, processes it digitally, and delivers it to the ear through a receiver.

Hearing aids like the Interton Move, Interton Presto, and Interton Spark are easy to use, lightweight, and made for comfort so people can hear well in any situation.

How Does a Hearing Aid Work?

Every hearing aid, regardless of brand or model, functions through three key components that work together to enhance your hearing experience.

1. The Microphone

The microphone picks up sounds from its surroundings and converts them into digital signals. Modern hearing aids use dual microphones to detect direction and filter background noise, ensuring clear, focused listening.

2. The Amplifier (Processor)

The amplifier boosts sound frequencies based on your personal hearing profile. For example, it can emphasize speech frequencies while suppressing ambient noise. This creates a more natural listening experience.

3. The Receiver (Speaker)

The receiver delivers the processed sound directly to your ear canal. This is where clear, natural sound becomes audible, allowing you to reconnect with conversations and your environment.

Types of Hearing Aids

While hearing aids come in various styles, these are the most popular types available in Nigeria today:

    • Completely-in-canal (CIC): when discretion matters most: a small model that features ear-to-ear communication, non-wireless connectivity and direct audio streaming from iOS and selected Android™ devices.

        • Behind-The-Ear (BTE):

          These powerful hearing aids are for you if have more severe hearing loss since they typically offer the most amplification and lots of features.

          The BTE hearing aid type sits comfortably behind the ear and sound is directed from the hearing aid through the tubing into your ear canal. An added benefit is they are very durable as you do not have any parts inside the ear canal.

        • Right-In-the-Ear (RIE):

          This type of hearing aid is for you if you have mild to severe hearing loss, and is a combination of a “behind-the-ear” and an “in-the-ear hearing aid”.

          Sounds are collected by a unit that sits behind the ear. The receiver sends sound into the ear canal, and transmits these amplified sounds directly to the ear. The result is exceptional sound quality, making this a great option for a discreet, contemporary look with great performance.

      The Interton Move, Presto, and Spark models are available in these designs, ensuring you can find a style that fits both your hearing needs and lifestyle.

      Smart Hearing Aid Technology for Better Sound.

      Modern hearing aids are not just for amplifying sound; they’re smart digital devices that have advanced features like:

          • Rechargeable batteries for all-day performance

          • Bluetooth connectivity for phone calls, music, and TV streaming

          • Adaptive noise reduction for better clarity in noisy environments

          • Automatic sound adjustment.

        Benefits of Using a Hearing Aid

        Using a hearing aid does more than improve hearing; it enhances your overall quality of life. Some of the key benefits include:

            • Better communication and stronger relationships

            • Increased confidence in conversations

            • Improved concentration and reduced listening fatigue

            • Greater safety and awareness of surroundings

          How to Choose the Right Hearing Aid

          When selecting a hearing aid, consider the following factors:

              • Your hearing loss level (moderate or severe).

              • Your daily lifestyle (quiet or busy environments)

              • Design preference (discreet, rechargeable, or behind-the-ear)

              • Budget and long-term aftercare services
