I. Introduction
With the development of technology, hearing aids have become a blessing for many people with hearing loss. However, is it possible for people who wear glasses to wear hearing aids?
This article will discuss the principle, applicable population, and precautions of hearing aids.
Second, the principle of hearing aids
A hearing aid is a device that amplifies sound and helps a hearing-impaired person hear better.
It mainly consists of a microphone, amplifier, and speaker. When the microphone captures the sound, the amplifier amplifies the sound signal and then plays it back through the speakers.
In this way, even sounds at normal volume can be easily heard by hearing-impaired people.
3. Whether people who wear glasses can use hearing aids
For people who wear glasses, it is possible to wear hearing aids. In fact, wearing glasses does not affect the use of hearing aids.
Because hearing aids are in contact with the ears primarily through the ear canal, while glasses are on the eyes, there is no direct relationship between the two.
Therefore, as long as the right hearing aid model is chosen, people who wear glasses can also get good hearing compensation.
Fourth, the type of hearing aid suitable for wearing glasses
1. Behind-the-ear hearing aids: These hearing aids are more discreet and look similar to headphones, making them suitable for people who have high requirements for appearance.
At the same time, the battery compartment of the behind-the-ear hearing aid is located behind the ear, so there is enough space between it and the glasses to prevent the wearing of glasses.
2. In-the-ear hearing aids: These hearing aids are placed directly in the ear canal for more concealment. However, it is important to note that in-the-ear hearing aids may not be suitable for people with narrow ear canals.
In addition, in-the-ear hearing aids have a shorter battery life and require regular battery replacement.
3. Bone-conduction hearing aids: These hearing aids transmit sound signals by vibrating the skull to bypass the outer and middle ears.
Since it does not depend on the structure of the ear canal, it is not affected by glasses. However, bone-conduction hearing aids are more expensive and less comfortable.
5. Precautions
1. Choose hearing aids produced by regular manufacturers to ensure product quality and after-sales service.
2. Before purchasing a hearing aid, it is best to have a hearing test so that the doctor can recommend the right hearing aid model for you.
3. When wearing hearing aids, pay attention to keeping the ear canal clean to avoid earwax blockage affecting the hearing effect.
4. Conduct regular hearing examinations and hearing aid maintenance to ensure that the hearing compensation effect is continuous and stable.
6. Summary
To sum up, it is perfectly acceptable for people who wear glasses to wear hearing aids. As long as you choose the right type of hearing aid and the products of regular manufacturers, you can get a good hearing compensation effect.
During wearing, you also need to pay attention to things like keeping your ear canal clean and having regular hearing checks.
