Did you know there are directional hearing aids? These modern devices help those who are hard-of-hearing to listen better in noisy situations.

A hearing aid can help you regain your independence and sense of safety and can also help block out unwanted noises in the same way hearing aids enable you to amplify other sounds. And, did you know that some hearing aids enable you to wirelessly stream audio from your media equipment?

Otoacoustic Emissions is a relatively new test that's currently being used to assess hearing in newborns and whether the cochlea is functioning. Here, a probe is inserted into the ear canal with a speaker and microphone, which is able to pick up whether the hairs in the cochlea are being stimulated.

Every hearing aid works by increasing the gain (or volume) of the surrounding sound, but digital hearing aids use digital compression by digitally processing the sound. This mean digital hearing aids have much greater flexibility and control than analog hearing aids.

When it comes to hearing aids, there are many types available that differ in size and placement in the ear. Some are small enough to fit inside of your ear canal, while others are larger and fit behind the ear.

Did you know you should never use your hearing aid in the shower or when you go swimming, unless you have special hearing aids that permit in-water usage? Water can significantly damage the inner workings of your hearing aid.
