In today’s society, for those patients who are unfortunately suffering from hearing loss, the most direct way to hear the sound and hear the sound is to wear a hearing aid or choose to implant a cochlear implant.
So for hearing loss patients, is it better to wear a hearing aid or implant a cochlear implant?
First of all, we need to understand the difference between the two working principles. The hearing aid is to amplify the external sound, use your residual hearing to make a hearing compensation and let you hear the sound again, and the cochlear implant is directly implanted into your subcutaneous tissue. Stimulate your auditory nerve to make you hear the sound. The cochlear implant has nothing to do with your residual hearing and auditory hair cells, so one is just as long as it is worn and the other is surgically implanted.
Secondly, the range of hearing loss for hearing aids and cochlear implants is different. For patients with mild or moderate hearing loss, it is best to wear hearing aids to compensate for hearing, and it is also a better way because they The hearing loss is not very serious. You can use the hearing aid to amplify the outside sound, and then the residual hearing allows you to hear the sound.
Cochlear implants are more suitable for patients with severe or severe hearing loss. For these people, wearing hearing aids has no obvious effect, especially for some extremely severe patients, even those who are close to full hearing loss. They, even if they choose to wear a super-powered hearing aid, they can only hear the shock of the sound, but can’t hear what the other party is talking about.
From the above comparisons, it is already obvious that the choice of hearing aids or cochlear implants is determined by the degree of your hearing loss. If your hearing loss is mild or moderate, then we naturally recommend it. You wear a hearing aid. If your hearing loss is severe or extremely severe, then we recommend that you choose to implant a cochlear implant.
