Very
few people
are deaf
with no hearing
at all. Usually
there is
some hearing,
which can
be illustrated
on an audiogram.
In these
cases a hearing
aid can be
fitted to
make maximum
use of the
residual
hearing.
Euthymiades
Audiology
Centre
Ltd is
in a position
to provide
hearing
aids that
give:
- maximum information from environmental sounds; for example the sound of the doorbell or birds singing etc.
- maximum speech intelligibility
- minimum interference from background noise
- minimum distortion
- GSM compatibility
- various
programs
according
to different
acoustic
enviroments.
There is a very wide range of hearing aids available. The hearing impaired person can be fitted according to his/her specific needs.
BODY-WORN
 Microphone,
amplifier
and batteries
are all housed
in the hearing
aid case.
This is connected
by a cord to
an external
receiver,
which in
turn attaches
to a solid
earmould.
The high
gain and
output and
the low frequency
response
provided
by the BW
are advantageous
to the very
severely
or profoundly
hard of hearing
persons.
The large
size of the
controls
can be of
help to people
with manual
dexterity
problems.
However,
nowadays
there are
BTE hearing
aids so powerful
that make
BW aids obsolete.
SPECTACLE-HEARING AIDS
 There is a solution when the person needs both glasses and hearing aids. Bone as well as Air conduction spectacle aids are available. In the case of the latter, all the hearing aid components are housed in the arm of the spectacle and connected to the ear canal by a tube or earmould. The bone conduction ones (nothing in the ear) are ideal for cases of conductive hearing losses. Also, when for some reason, no earmould can be used.
