Virtue Hearing Podcast


Sep 4, 2019

In this episode, Chris explains the difference between hearing aids and hearing amplifiers. 

 

Hearing Amplifiers used for recreational use, bird watching, watching movies etc. All sounds are amplified to hear them better but it's not to be confused with hearing aids.

 

Hearing aids are prescribed to each person and based on their hearing levels so that they only get amplification in the areas they need them in. 

Hearing aids can only be dispensed by audiologist and hearing aid dispensers. We do not recommend getting used hearing aids because it's not being prescribed for your hearing loss. 

Chris also gets into the pros and cons of hearing aids vs hearing amplifiers.
