Starkey Hearing Aids Reviews

How hearing devices work

 

Starkey hearing aids, like all hearing aids, have the same basic function. A three-part system makes is standard for any hearing device.

The microphone hears the sounds around the wearer and converts them into a digital signal. The amplifier then increases the strength of this digital signal. Finally, the speaker produces the amplified sound into the ear.

Naturally, all Starkey hearing aid models have different features, but all hearing aids will contain this basic three-part system.

 

 

Types of hearing loss

There are many types of hearing loss. Every type of hearing loss requires a unique solution. This has to be taken into account when looking into Starkey hearing aid models and prices.

It’s why EarPros always recommends scheduling a consultation with a licensed hearing care specialist for advice and recommendations.

Conductive Hearing Loss

Conductive hearing loss is caused by sound not being able to traverse the outer and middle ears.

Ear infections most commonly cause it, but they can also be caused by earwax and/or fluid buildup. For most people, this is a temporary form of hearing loss. Doctors may cure it through antibiotics or a minor surgical procedure.

Sensorineural Hearing Loss

Sensorineural hearing loss is a serious type of hearing loss because it afflicts the inner ear. For this reason, sensorineural hearing loss is mostly permanent. There are no known treatments for it, but hearing loss can be alleviated through hearing aids.

Science reveals that the most common reasons for this type of hearing loss are noise exposure, age, and genetic makeup.

Mixed Hearing Loss

A combination of conductive and sensorineural hearing loss. Depending on the severity of mixed hearing loss, doctors may be able to treat it. However, most sufferers will require a hearing device of some kind to restore their hearing.

Single-sided Hearing Loss

Single-sided hearing loss could mean either hearing loss in one ear or hearing loss to different extents in both ears.

Starkey hearing aids models are available specifically for treating single-sided hearing loss. These hearing devices transmit sounds from one ear to the other.

Tinnitus

Tinnitus is a common hearing condition whereby the sufferer will hear a persistent ringing, chirping, or buzzing. This condition most commonly arises from prolonged exposure to noisy work environments.

Sound therapy has been shown to alleviate the symptoms of tinnitus, but modern hearing aids are also effective at providing relief.
