Hearing Aid Myths
Most hearing aid

associated with
the older analog
models.

Myth # 1: Hearing aids are not effective
Myth # 2: Hearing aids are big and bulky
Myth # 3: Hearing aids are too expensive
Myth # 4: You can save time and money buying
hearing aids online
Myth # 5: Hearing aids are uncomfortable and
difficult to operate
The Myths

Myth # 1: Hearing aids are not
effective
Reality: A study reported in the Journal of the American Medical
Association comparing the effectiveness of three popular types of
hearing aids concluded that:
“Each [hearing aid] circuit markedly improved speech
recognition, with greater improvement observed for soft
and conversationally loud speech....All 3 circuits
significantly reduced the frequency of problems
encountered in verbal communication....Each circuit
provided significant benefit in quiet and noisy listening
situations.”

Myth # 2: Hearing aids are big and
bulky
Reality: Hearing aids come in various sizes, with
some models that are nearly invisible when worn.

canal
Half Shell

Myth # 3: Hearing aids are too
expensive
Reality: As with most consumer electronics, hearing aids range in
price depending on performance and features. While you may not
want—or need—the top of the line hearing aids, you can probably
find a pair that matches your needs, preferences, and budget.
Most patients also feel that the value of better hearing and a better
life is usually well worth the cost.

Myth # 4: You can save time and
money buying hearing aids online
Reality: Would you buy a pair of prescription glasses online
without first consulting your eye doctor, having an eye exam,
and obtaining your prescription?
Probably not, and buying hearing aids is very similar. Hearing
aids need to be professionally programmed by a hearing
specialist according to your unique hearing loss
characteristics. Otherwise, it’s like wearing someone else’s
prescription glasses.

Myth # 5: Hearing aids are
uncomfortable and difficult to operate
Reality: Digital hearing aids dynamically process sound with a small
computer chip so that you don’t have to worry about manual
adjustments; additionally, some digital hearing aids can even be
controlled through your mobile phone. The bottom line: digital
hearing aids are being manufactured with maximum ease-of-use in
mind.

Don’t let the hearing aid myths
stop you from enhancing your
life with better hearing!

The shoulder complex acts as in coordinated fashion to provide the smoothest and greatest range of motion possible of the upper limb. Combined motion of GH and ST joint of shoulder complex helps in: Distribution of motion between other two joints. Maintenance of glenoid fossa in optimal position. Maintenance of good length tension Although some amount of glenohumeral motion may occur while the other shoulder articulations remain stabilized, movement of the humerus more commonly involves some movement at all three shoulder joints.

1. The Top 5 Hearing Aid Myths Exposed

2. Hearing Aid Myths Most hearing aid myths are based on the problems associated with the older analog models. By photo taken by Udo Schröter (Own work) [GFDL (http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html) or CC-BY-SA-3.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/)], via Wikimedia Commons

4. Myth # 1: Hearing aids are not effective Myth # 2: Hearing aids are big and bulky Myth # 3: Hearing aids are too expensive Myth # 4: You can save time and money buying hearing aids online Myth # 5: Hearing aids are uncomfortable and difficult to operate The Myths

5. Myth # 1: Hearing aids are not effective Reality: A study reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association comparing the effectiveness of three popular types of hearing aids concluded that: “Each [hearing aid] circuit markedly improved speech recognition, with greater improvement observed for soft and conversationally loud speech....All 3 circuits significantly reduced the frequency of problems encountered in verbal communication....Each circuit provided significant benefit in quiet and noisy listening situations.”

6. Myth # 2: Hearing aids are big and bulky Reality: Hearing aids come in various sizes, with some models that are nearly invisible when worn. Micro-behind-the-ear Completely-in-the- canal Half Shell

7. Myth # 3: Hearing aids are too expensive Reality: As with most consumer electronics, hearing aids range in price depending on performance and features. While you may not want—or need—the top of the line hearing aids, you can probably find a pair that matches your needs, preferences, and budget. Most patients also feel that the value of better hearing and a better life is usually well worth the cost.

8. Myth # 4: You can save time and money buying hearing aids online Reality: Would you buy a pair of prescription glasses online without first consulting your eye doctor, having an eye exam, and obtaining your prescription? Probably not, and buying hearing aids is very similar. Hearing aids need to be professionally programmed by a hearing specialist according to your unique hearing loss characteristics. Otherwise, it’s like wearing someone else’s prescription glasses.

9. Myth # 5: Hearing aids are uncomfortable and difficult to operate Reality: Digital hearing aids dynamically process sound with a small computer chip so that you don’t have to worry about manual adjustments; additionally, some digital hearing aids can even be controlled through your mobile phone. The bottom line: digital hearing aids are being manufactured with maximum ease-of-use in mind.
