This comprehensive guide provides essential information on the types of hearing aids and key factors to consider when choosing the best hearing solution for you. We also recommend suitable designs, such as classic behind-the-ear hearing aids, behind-the-ear hearing aids with an external receiver, or in-the-ear hearing aids.

It’s incredible to think, but our ears play a crucial role in keeping us upright! The inner ear comprises two main parts:

• The vestibule, which informs the brain about the position of the head. Dysfunction in this area can lead to feelings of dizziness.
• The cochlea (or spiral), which converts sound vibrations from the eardrum and ossicles into nerve impulses that the brain can interpret as sounds.

Hearing is one of our five senses and, along with sight and smell, helps us navigate our environment. For example, sight helps us identify where we are, whether in a mall, a forest, or a city, while hearing alerts us to approaching vehicles or the presence of people chatting nearby. Smell can indicate whether a place is clean or dirty. Together, these senses help us understand the context of our surroundings.

Furthermore, hearing plays a significant role in consciousness, sleep, and emotional well-being.
