"Hearing aid vs. sound amplifier: What's the difference?"
Dr. Reza Ataee:
"That is an excellent question, and thank you for bringing it up. It’s completely normal to feel confused about the difference between a simple sound amplifier and a professional hearing aid, many people feel the same way!
The truth is, a hearing aid is not simply about volume. Instead, I want you to think of it as a tiny, sophisticated computer. It uses advanced chips, sometimes including AI, to deliver the best clarity that is precisely customized for your hearing loss.
These advanced devices include features like directional microphone technology, which focuses on the person speaking in front of you in noisy spots, and instantly adapts to the environment when things are quiet. This smart processing filters out targeted background noise and precisely boosts only the specific frequencies and pitches your ear is missing.
A simple sound amplifier, on the other hand, just turns up all the sound at once, including all the background noise. We need to be very careful with those devices because that excessive, unfiltered volume may potentially damage your delicate hearing system, especially when you already have existing hearing loss.
When you choose my clinic, you are getting a complete audiology program, not just a device. After a complete hearing test, I'll explain your audiogram, the type of hearing loss, and its causes with simple and clear words.
I understand every situation is unique, and if you need more details or have specific questions, I am more than happy to guide you. Please call my clinics in Downtown Vancouver or North Vancouver to book your appointment, or you can simply ask your questions directly by phone or email, and I will do my best to give a clear answer and help you with your hearing health."
