With the rapid development of the hearing technology industry, hearing aids have been widely recognized by the market and users. At the same time, cochlear implants have also developed rapidly and are favored by parents of hearing-impaired children.

Cochlear Implants vs. Hearing Aids: What's the Difference?

How are hearing aids and cochlear implants similar? Hearing aids and cochlear implants have similarities and differences. Both are hearing devices, and both use special electronic circuits to convert speech sound signals into electrical signals, and then into sound signals acceptable to the human body. The difference is that hearing aids are amplifiers that can fully amplify external signals and transmit them into the ear canal of hearing-impaired patients, through the middle ear, and then into the inner ear auditory receptors. Cochlear implants do not amplify sound, but apply pulsed electrical stimulation to the auditory nerves in the cochlea that are still functioning well, so that patients can regain sound.

So how do you choose? What kind of people are they suitable for?

Hearing aids are most suitable for patients with mild to severe hearing loss. Some patients with extremely severe hearing loss can also achieve good hearing effects. However, due to the different types and qualities of hearing aids, the amplification effect of sound signals is also different, that is, the "fidelity" of sound signals is different. The hearing-impaired patients will feel differently.

On October 16~18, 2024, the 68th EUHA exhibition was grandly held at the Hannover Exhibition Center in Germany. The AUSTAR team has carefully prepared to show the world the rapid development of China's hearing aid technology, bringing a new audio-visual feast to patients with hearing loss around the world.

Exhibitors from all over the world were attracted by the appearance of AUSTAR's new hearing aids, consulted with the on-site staff to understand the functions and features of the product, and expressed their desire to listen to the sound on site and experience the sound quality firsthand.

AUSTAR hearing aids always adhere to independent research and development, and use technology and love to change the "sound" life of people with hearing loss in the world. Through the meticulous creation of countless scientific researchers, one after another hearing aids with excellent craftsmanship and high sound quality have gone to the world and are deeply loved by users. They have said that the experience is better than the same level of products on the market, and the cost performance is higher.

AUSTAR's star series products have a unique speech perception system, which breaks the traditional speech algorithm of hearing aids, accurately identifies speech signals according to the user's speech habits and language listening environment, helps patients with hearing loss hear more clearly, and makes Chinese hearing aids go global.

AUSTAR has a variety of self-fitting digital hearing aids, popularizing the concept of hearing aid fitting with strength and action, breaking the time, space and technical limitations of hearing aid fitting, and changing the mode that hearing aids are just "amplifiers".

The self-fitting technology is another breakthrough in AUSTAR's hearing aid technology, which matches the hearing compensation according to the intelligent calculation results through the user's self-audiometry, and is no longer an indiscriminate amplification of sound. Each user can have a hearing aid that matches their hearing condition, reducing the impact of indiscriminate amplification of sound on residual hearing.

With its product strength and service, AUSTAR hearing aids have successfully won the love of new and old users, and through on-site negotiations, after in-depth understanding, customers have signed contracts on the spot, and are willing to work hand in hand with AUSTAR to win the future.

Dame, an old customer, said, "AUSTAR always brings us some new surprises. It is developing rapidly and will promote the development of hearing aids in the world, change the hearing industry and benefit mankind."

Hearing Care Professional: Why Should I Visit the Store Regularly to Clean and Maintain My Hearing Aids?

After your hearing evaluation, when your hearing aid dispenser recommends that you consider wearing a hearing aid, you will usually be referred to a number of different types of hearing aids, except for larger behind-the-ear devices (BTE) that hang behind the pinna, and hearing aids that are external to the receiver (RIC), many users expect to wear invisible and beautiful custom hearing aids (in-the-ear) and do not want others to see that they are wearing hearing aids. If you're also looking to test a custom machine that fits in your ear canal, it's helpful to understand the pros and cons of each type of custom machine before you make a decision. Common custom-made hearing aids are in-canal (ITC), deep in-canal (CIC) and ultra-recessed (IIC) hearing aids, which are suitable for mild to moderate to severe hearing loss. If you're also looking for a custom hearing aid that looks invisible, the following detailed analysis can help you understand which of these hearing aids is best for you.

ITC hearing aids

ITC hearing aids are designed to be fixed in the canal of the ear, which is very small compared to the skull, and the skin tone appearance and the occlusion of the pinna help you improve your hearing without worrying that others will easily find your hearing aids.

Nowadays, almost everyone has a smartphone, and many people like to use the Bluetooth of their mobile phones to make calls and listen to music. Due to the suitable wearing position and body size, ITC hearing aids, such as the high-end FUGUE H series hearing aids from AUSTAR, have built-in wireless Bluetooth function, which allows the wearer to use the hearing aid to answer calls, listen to music and radio, etc.

The downside of ITC is that it does not provide sufficient sound gain for extremely severe deafness. For those who are susceptible to recurrent ear infections, ITC may also be inappropriate. On the other hand, there are pros and cons to the size of the ITC, because it is small enough that it may not be visible from the back that the hearing aid is worn, but also because it is small, the ITC requires more skill to remove from the ear than a behind-the-ear hearing aid, and the battery capacity is relatively smaller, and the use time is shorter.

CIC hearing aids

CIC hearing aids are named "completely in the ear canal" and are suitable for mild to moderate to severe hearing loss. CIC hearing aids are popular because they follow the trend of miniaturization and meet the aesthetic needs of users, and it is almost impossible to see after wearing it, and it is difficult for others to notice it. Since CIC hearing aids are made from the ear canal, the earmold is very close to the shape of the ear canal, so it is very comfortable to wear, and sometimes you even forget that you are wearing a hearing aid. Some users will complain that they have ear blockage problems after wearing hearing aids, their voice sounds muffled like they are in a bucket, and the hearing aid has no use when the air vents are opened, but when they wear CIC hearing aids, the situation is greatly improved. This is because the occlusion effect is mainly caused by the vibration of the cartilage of the external auditory canal, and if the hearing aid penetrates deep into the bone of the external auditory canal, the vibrational energy of the cartilage can be released from the external auditory canal, thus significantly reducing the occlusion effect.

Similar to the shortcomings of ITC, CIC hearing aids are smaller and use smaller batteries, so they may need to be replaced more frequently and will not be able to provide enough sound for people with very severe hearing loss. Compared with ITC, CIC is relatively more expensive in terms of price, and adjusting the volume is not as convenient as large hearing aids such as behind-the-ear hearing aids. As one of the smallest hearing aids on the market, those with less dexterous hands may have some difficulty changing the battery and wearing the hearing aids.
