Hearing aid research is going on all the time. Better instruments and better circuits are being developed right now. If you have hearing loss, don't wait to get help. Just like computers, there will always be something better in the future. Implantable hearing aids are being developed that will be completely under the skin. These hearing aids will require surgery but aren't yet available. Cochlear implant-hearing aid hybrids are being investigated for people who have mild loss at some frequencies but can't hear some sounds at all. There also are new developments in other devices that help you hear better when hearing aids aren't enough. Ask your audiologist about assistive devices for TVs, phones, fire alarms or anything else you want to hear better. (by sicologic.com) |
