A person with hearing loss which cannot be surgically or medically corrected is rehabilitated with amplification devices. Hearing aids are amplification devices which serve to amplify the acoustic signal to a level which is audible to the hearing-impaired individual. Hearing aids do not restore hearing ability but they boost up the signal so that the hearing impaired listener is able to use up his/ her residual hearing to hear the amplified signal clearly.
Hearing aid selection and fitting is based on objective and subjective measures. After the dispensing of hearing aids, the hearing aid user is oriented and counselled regarding the care and maintenance of hearing aids. Availability of facilities for reprogramming the programmable hearing aids and servicing of hearing aids provides the hearing aid users with good after sale services.
