Basic knowledge of how hearing aids work What is a hearing aid?

In-the-ear hearing aids are designed with a compact structure to ensure comfortable, discreet placement inside the ear canal. Key components include a small microphone that captures surrounding sound, a signal processor that amplifies sound appropriately, a miniature speaker that delivers sound into the ear canal, and a small battery engineered for longer usage. The device is typically crafted with a simple, streamlined appearance that blends naturally with the shape of the ear, providing comfort and a natural look during use.

What is a hearing aid, and how does it help people with hearing loss hear better?

A hearing aid is a small electronic device designed to amplify sound for individuals with hearing difficulties or hearing loss, helping improve listening and communication. Its components include:

• Volume Control Potentiometer – adjusts the loudness
• Microphone – captures external sounds
• Amplifier – increases the strength of the sound signals
• Fine-Tuning Potentiometer – allows precise sound adjustment
• Shell – the outer casing that houses and protects all components
• Receiver – delivers the amplified sound into the ear

These components work together by capturing external sounds, processing and adjusting them according to preset programs, and finally transmitting the enhanced sound to the eardrum at a louder and clearer level, enabling individuals with hearing loss to hear more effectively.

There are four common types of hearing aids available on the market:

Behind-the-ear, receiver-in-canal, and in-the-ear types. In addition, Mimitakara hearing aids distributed by Digibionic also come in other models such as portable types, neckband types, and Bluetooth wireless earbuds.

ITC Hearing Aid

In-The-Canal

This type of hearing aid is designed to fit closely to the user’s ear, offering comfort and a natural feel. Its smaller size, compared to the outer ear, allows for better sound perception and a more natural listening experience.

BTE Hearing Aid

Behind-The-Ear

This type of hearing aid sits behind the ear and connects to the ear canal via a tube, offering convenience and ease of use. It is durable, robust, and suitable for everyday activities.

CIC Hearing Aid

Completely-In-Canal

This hearing aid is designed to closely match the shape of the user’s ear and is the smallest size available. It fits entirely inside the ear canal, making it discreet and barely noticeable.

RIC Hearing Aid

Receiver-In-Canal

This hearing aid sits behind the ear and transmits sound through a thin wire to a speaker placed inside the ear canal. It delivers clear, detailed, and natural-sounding audio.

What are the functions of a hearing aid? What essential features do experts recommend?

Television

Telephone

Noise Reduction

Auto sound Focus

Echo reduction

Watching television
If the user regularly watches dramas, news, or other TV programs, they should choose a Bluetooth hearing aid that can receive audio directly from the television via Bluetooth, providing clearer sound.

Phone conversations
If the user needs to talk with relatives or friends on the phone or through voice chats on Line, they should choose a Bluetooth hearing aid that can receive call audio directly from the phone via Bluetooth for convenient use.

Automatic noise reduction
If the user is often in noisy environments such as air-conditioned rooms, engine rooms, factories, temples, or churches—with continuous noise (including distant voices and traffic) or sudden loud noises (such as fireworks)—they should choose a digital hearing aid capable of automatically filtering and reducing noise.

Automatic sound focusing
If the user is frequently in crowded environments such as meetings, seminars, or restaurants, they should choose a hearing aid with a directional sound function that can automatically focus on voices coming from the front within a 60-degree or 30-degree angle.

Echo reduction
Echo from the user’s own speech or reverberation in large spaces can make conversations difficult to understand. If an elderly user with hearing loss tends to look at the speaker but cannot respond clearly, or replies only with short sounds like “Oh” or “Hmm,” they should choose a hearing aid with an echo-reduction function to improve speech clarity.

How should I compare and choose a hearing aid?

Just like choosing eyeglasses, before buying a hearing aid, you should visit a hearing aid shop for a free hearing test so that a hearing specialist can recommend the most suitable model for you.

When choosing a hearing aid, you should consider the following comparison criteria:

Suitability for daily life and personalized adjustments
Check whether the hearing aid can meet your daily needs, such as hearing performance in different environments, and whether it can be customized to suit your hearing requirements.

Functions and cost-effectiveness (CP Value)
Consider the functions of the hearing aid, such as noise reduction and directional microphones, and compare them with the price to ensure that the chosen device meets your needs and is reasonably priced.

Government subsidies
Check your eligibility for government financial support to help with the purchase of a hearing aid (Universal Coverage Scheme, disability card, Social Security).

Payment convenience
Check whether the hearing aid company offers payment options such as credit cards or installment plans for your convenience.

Warranty period and conditions
Review the warranty period and conditions of the hearing aid to ensure that you will receive after-sales service from the hearing aid shop or provider.

Branch distance or home delivery service
If you are unable to visit the shop, choose a company that offers home delivery services. If you prefer to buy at a hearing aid shop, choose a branch located near your residence.
