Licensed audiologist answers most common hearing aid questions
Katie Koebel, Audiologist, M.Cl.Sc., Reg. CASLPO at HearingLife Canada, provides answers to some of the most common questions people have about hearing aids, giving you a closer look at how they can improve your quality of life.
How do hearing aids work?
Katie describes hearing aids as “little sound boosters for your ears.” They’re like minicomputers you wear that take the sounds around you and make them clearer and easier to understand. The best part? These devices are customized just for you, amplifying sounds based on your unique hearing needs. Everyday conversations, favorite shows, or simply enjoying a walk in nature become much easier
Why consult a hearing care professional?
Because your hearing is unique, and hearing aids aren’t one-size-fits-all. Katie recommends speaking with a hearing care professional to ensure that your hearing aids are fine-tuned for your specific needs.
