Hearing aids capture soundwaves and amplify specific frequencies to make sounds audible and clear. Speech understanding is improved, and you don't have to work as hard to listen to the world around you.

Ultimately hearing aids are small electronic devices designed to improve hearing for individuals with hearing loss. But how do hearing aids work? These devices amplify sounds to help users better engage with their environment, conversations, and daily activities.

They consist of a microphone, amplifier, and speaker, working in harmony to convert sound waves into electrical signals, amplify them, and deliver the enhanced signals into the ear canal. This process provides clarity and volume adjustment for sounds, aiding those with hearing difficulties.

There are three basic steps involved to get sound from the outside world into your ear:

Sound capturing - One or two tiny but powerful microphones capture sound and translate it into electrical signals.
Sound processing - These signals are sent to the processor, where they are optimized according to the wearer’s hearing needs and the characteristics of the acoustic environment (such as loudness, contrast, and background noise).
Sound transmission - Following this customized processing, the electrical signals are then converted back into acoustic signals and delivered to the ear.

Many state-of-the-art hearing aids are powered by built-in high-capacity rechargeable batteries. Simply recharge your hearing aids at night when you sleep and you will never need to worry about buying or changing batteries.

Hearing aids now allow you to hear the technological world along with the natural world, with easy connections to your phone, TV, tablet, and other devices. Signia hearing aids offer Bluetooth connectivity for remote control adjustments, phone calls, audio streaming, and guided assistance with your hearing aids via the innovative Signia Assistant.
