Hearing is not just the perception of sound; it is a key component of communication, emotion, safety, and experience. In this article, we will discuss the advantages of in-the-ear hearing aids, popular models on the market — Phonak Virto and Helix Alfa Box — and how the Avaz Hearing and Speech Center stands out.
Why Are Hearing Aids Needed?
Hearing Problems and Their Effect on Daily Life
Hearing loss is a serious problem that weakens a person’s connection with society. As hearing deteriorates, the individual faces both social and psychological isolation.
The Importance of Hearing Aids
Modern hearing aids are specially designed to address this problem. They not only amplify sound but also purify it and deliver it in the correct direction.
What Is an In-the-Ear Hearing Aid?
Structure and Function
An in-the-ear hearing aid is a small and almost invisible device placed directly in the ear canal. It captures sound, amplifies it, and transmits it to the auditory nerves.
Comparison with Other Types
Unlike behind-the-ear models, in-the-ear aids are more aesthetic and suitable for personal use, especially for young and working individuals.
Advantages of In-the-Ear Hearing Aids
Aesthetic Appearance
Many users care about whether the device is noticeable. In-the-ear models are almost invisible.
Comfort and Daily Usability
Perfect for those who wear glasses. Also easier to use with masks compared to behind-the-ear devices.
Sound Quality and Technology
These devices include the latest technology, capable of distinguishing noise and emphasizing speech.
Possibility of Individual Calibration
Each ear can be calibrated separately, ensuring clearer and more appropriate sound quality.
