Hearing aid
What is a Hearing aid?• A hearing aid is a device used to regulate and
amplify sound for the user• Hearing aids are used by the partially deaf
but not the completely deaf• They can greatly improve the hearing of
someone partially deaf but it cannot cure or help complete deafness.
• Placed either in and or around the ear• They have 4 major parts: the microphone, battery, amplifier, and receiver
History• Late 1700s: Early hearing aids consisting
of a horn and a long thin tube that concentrated the sound to the ear were created. These were known as ear trumpets
• In the 19th century hearing trumpets were mass produced to aid the hearing impaired and partially deaf
• In 1898 the first carbon-type hearing aid was made due to the invention of the carbon microphone.
• In 1899 The first carbon-type hearing aid was patented by Miller Reese Hutchinson
• In 1920 vacuum tubes were added to the hearing aids to improve sound quality and clarity.
History cont.• In 1952 the first hearing aid with an on/off
switch was created. This new model was known as a transistor hearing aid
• In the 1990’s digital hearing aids were created allowing clearer and better hearing for the user
• 2000s- much smaller hearing aids were produced and are barely visible on the user.

Styles of hearing aids
BTEs behind the ear—are about one inch long and fit snugly behind your outer ear.
OTEs on the ear—are a new style of BTE that is extremely small and sits on top of the outer ear.
ITEs in the ear—are custom-fitted to your outer ear’s contours.
ITCs in the canal—are smaller. They fit farther into the ear canal so they are barely visible.
CICs completely in the canal—are the smallest ITEs. Cosmetically, they may be the most flattering, but their tiny size can be a real disadvantage in handling.

Styles of hearing aids
Communicator, For someone who is unable to fit a conventional hearing aid into their ear, maybe because of poor dexterity, a communicator may be a good option.

Bone-conduction glasses
The arms of the glasses contain the microphone, the amplifier and the vibrator, which is applied to the bone behind the ear. The efficiency of these devices is influenced by the thickness of the skin, the pressure provided, the contact with the skull and any complications that arise from skin irritation. The headband devices work in a similar way and have the same limitations
11
Bone anchored hearing aid
A small box, containing the microphone, processor and vibrator, is clipped onto a surgically-implanted titanium screw behind the ear. Attaching the device in this way drastically improves bone conduction, as there are no problems with transmitting through the skin. In addition, the use of these hearing aids is restricted to certain types of hearing loss and require certain precautions to minimise the risk of infection .
12
Middle ear implants
In a similar way to bone conduction hearing aids, sound is captured and causes the vibrator to move. In this case, the latter is fixed to one of the ossicles, meaning that normal movement of these tiny bones is restored or even amplified, and sound is transmitted to the inner ear normally. The use of these devices is also limited by factors such as the severity and type of hearing loss, the absence or damage of the ossicles

Who uses the Hearing aids?
●Hearing loss with the birth●Hearing loss with the old age●Hearing loss with the accident●Not all hearing loss need Hearing
aid, need doctor's correct examination for determination
14
When we use implantable bone-anchored hearing aids (BAHAs)
medically necessary prosthetics for persons aged 5 years and older with a unilateral or bilateral conductive or mixed conductive and sensorineural hearing loss
Congenital or surgically induced malformations of the external ear canal or middle ear (such as aural atresia); or
Dermatitis of the external ear, Hearing loss secondary to otosclerosis in persons who
can not undergo stapedectomy; or Severe chronic external otitis or otitis media; orTumors
of the external ear canal and/or tympanic cavity Other conditions in which an air-conduction hearing aid
is contraindicated.

how hearing aids work
How dose it work

●Microphone(Catches the sound)●Amplifier(Amplifies the sound)●Speaker(Send amplified sound
to the ear)●Power(Supply the power to
make above all happen )

Benefit and loss hearing aid
18
Benefit:1. Should improve your safety because you
can tell better where sounds are coming from, such as on coming car.
2. Also improve your understanding of words in noisy location s and give you better overall hearing in difficult situations , such as outdoors or in cars
Limitations
19
• Hearing aids only amplify sounds making them useless to the deaf and nearly deaf
• Can have problems concentrating on single sounds allowing background noises to interfere
• They are visible and can cause irritation to the areas that are in contact with the device
• Loud noises can become very loud when amplified
• Many frequent hearing issues• Problems and difficulties with adjustment
Hearing aid limitations in sensorineural hearing loss
20
Hearing aid improving the transmission of sound waves to the inner ear. very useful in treating conductive hearing loss
sensorineural hearing loss, they allow a damaged cochlea to draw the maximum amount of information from the stimulus. However, if the loss of sensory cells, or neurons, is too great, the quality and the performance of the messages sent to the brain will be insufficient to allow normal hearing.
