Subject: Should you use USED hearing aids?

When it comes to using hearing aids you first have to bring them to a dispenser to adjust the hearing device based on your ears and hearing levels.

 

Used hearing devices are made specifically for the patient it was made for. Most of the time they wouldn't be able to fit on you. 

 

Once we do the hearing test we can see if these hearing devices fit your needs when it comes to your hearing levels.

En este episodio, Chris explica la diferencia entre los audífonos y los amplificadores auditivos.

 

Amplificadores auditivos utilizados para uso recreativo, observación de aves, películas, etc. Todos los sonidos se amplifican para escucharlos mejor, pero no se debe confundir con los audífonos.

 

Los audífonos se recetan a cada persona y se basan en sus niveles de audición para que solo obtengan amplificación en las áreas en las que los necesitan. Los audífonos solo pueden ser dispensados ​​por audiólogos y dispensadores de audífonos. No recomendamos usar audífonos porque no se prescriben para su pérdida auditiva. Chris también entra en los pros y los contras de los audífonos frente a los amplificadores auditivos.

In this episode, Chris explains the difference between hearing aids and hearing amplifiers. 

 

Hearing Amplifiers used for recreational use, bird watching, watching movies etc. All sounds are amplified to hear them better but it's not to be confused with hearing aids.

 

Hearing aids are prescribed to each person and based on their hearing levels so that they only get amplification in the areas they need them in. 

Hearing aids can only be dispensed by audiologist and hearing aid dispensers. We do not recommend getting used hearing aids because it's not being prescribed for your hearing loss. 

Chris also gets into the pros and cons of hearing aids vs hearing amplifiers.
