To take sounds from the world into your ear to make them louder, all hearing aids in Sri Lanka use the same simple components. The majority of hearing aids are digital, and they all require either a conventional hearing aid battery or a rechargeable hearing aid battery to function.
Sounds from the field are recorded using portable microphones. The incoming sound is converted into digital code by a computer chip with an amplifier. It analyzes and changes the sound based on the hearing loss, listening conditions, and the frequency of sounds in the environment. The amplified signals are then translated to sound waves and transmitted to your ears through speakers, which are also known as receivers.
The features mentioned below are extremely important when investing in the right technology in the process of your purchase.
-
Microphones with a directional pattern. These are placed on the hearing aid so that sounds coming from in front of you are picked up better, while sounds coming from behind or beside you are diminished. Any hearing aids have the ability to aim in one direction only. When you're in an atmosphere with a lot of background noise, directional microphones will help you hear better.
-
Batteries that can be recharged. Rechargeable batteries are used in some hearing aids. This will make repairs easy for you by avoiding the need to replace the battery on a daily basis.
-
Telecoils are a form of telescoping device. When talking on a telecoil-compatible phone, telecoils make it easy to understand. The telecoil filters out noise from the surroundings when picking up signals from a hearing-aid-compatible phone. Telecoils can also pick up signals from public induction loop systems, which are used in certain churches and theaters and enable you to hear a speaker, play, or movie more clearly.
-
There is a wireless link open. Hearing aids are increasingly able to communicate wirelessly with Bluetooth-enabled gadgets such as cellphones, music players, laptops, and televisions. To pick up the phone or other signal and send it to the hearing aid, you will need to use an intermediate system.
-
Controls via a remote. Any hearing aids come with remote control, allowing you to change settings without needing to contact the unit. Any hearing aids attach wirelessly to a cell phone and come with a smartphone app that lets you use your phone as a remote control.
-
Direct audio input is available. This function requires you to use a cable to connect to audio from a tv, tablet, or music player.
-
Programming of variables. Some hearing aids have the ability to store several pre-programmed settings for different listening situations and conditions.
-
Synchronization is a term used to describe the process of bringing two Hearing aids with two ears should be designed to work together with such that modifications made to one ear's hearing aid (volume modulation or software improvements) are often made to the other ear's hearing aid, allowing for easier communication.
Hearing aid prices in Sri Lanka are extremely affordable, but make sure you follow the procedures mentioned below.
-
Have an appointment for a physical examination. Consult the doctor to rule out any potentially treatable sources of hearing loss, such as earwax or bacteria. Also, get your hearing checked by a professional (audiologist)
-
Make an appointment with a reputable audiologist. Ask the doctor for a recommendation if you don't know a decent audiologist. An audiologist will evaluate your hearing, assist you in selecting the best hearing aid, and customize the equipment to suit your specific needs. If you have hearing damage in both ears, two hearing aids will provide the greatest outcomes.
-
Inquire for a free trial duration. A hearing aid is normally available for a trial duration. It will take some time for you to adapt to the device and assess if it is right for you. Get the cost of a trial written down, along with if it is counted against the final cost of the hearing aid and how much is refundable if the hearing aid is returned after the trial duration.
-
Consider the future requirements. Inquire about the opportunity to boost the strength of the hearing aid you've selected such that it can always be effective if the hearing loss worsens. Hearing aids are not indestructible, although they can last for at least five years.
-
Seek for a promise. Check to see that the hearing aid comes with a warranty that protects all components and labor for a set amount of time. The warranty of certain dispensers may provide office visits or consulting services.
