This year's World Hearing Day 2020 fell on March 3rd, but the key messages are so important, we feel they should be shared constantly—not just for one day! Although good hearing is something many of us take for granted, decreased hearing and deafness can greatly impact the quality of life of those effected, as well as their loved ones.

We all want to be heard. It means that we are valued; that others care about us. When we aren’t heard, misunderstandings can arise. Opportunities can be missed. Listening is one of the greatest gifts we can offer the people we love. What if the heart is willing but our ears aren’t up to the task?

Digital hearing aids are made up of a powerful minicomputer. The minicomputer analyses the sound environment from data gathered by the microphones. The computer selects the sounds you need help with. The highest quality and best hearing aids only amplify the parts of sound you need help with. They also remove any excess sound and amplify the personalized result in your ear.

Ready to improve your hearing but not sure what type of hearing aid is best for you? You’ve come to the right place. This quick guide breaks down the basics of hearing aid types and the factors you should consider when choosing the right hearing aid for you.
