ADHEAR – Bone Conduction
ADHEAR is a bone conduction device that is designed to help individuals with conductive hearing loss. It is a non-surgical, adhesive-based solution that uses a small audio processor to transmit sound waves through bone vibrations. ADHEAR works by attaching a small adhesive adapter to the skin behind the ear, which is then connected to the […]
What is a NAL hearing aid fitting formula ?
The National Acoustic Laboratories (NAL) hearing aid fitting formulas are a set of algorithms that are used to prescribe hearing aids based on an individual’s unique hearing profile. These formulas were developed through extensive research on the relationship between hearing loss and the benefit that can be obtained from amplification. The NAL fitting formulas are […]
Is there a social stigma associated with using hearing aids, and if so, why?
There are several reasons why stigma may exist around the use of hearing aids. One reason is that hearing loss is often associated with aging, and there may be a societal bias against aging or a desire to avoid being perceived as “old.” This can lead to people being reluctant to use hearing aids because […]
