Hearing Device Options Include: A Hearing Aid: An electronic device worn in the ear that amplifies and modifies sound to allow for improved hearing and communication
An Assistive Listening Device: Any type of device that improves daily communication in specific listening situations by overcoming the negative effects of background noise and listening at a distance. This device is typically used in conjunction with hearing aids. This would include personal amplifiers, FM Systems, Infrared Systems, and Amplified Telephones

Symptoms of Hearing Loss
-
Are you straining to hear conversations?
-
Can you hear people talking, but can't understand what is being said?
-
Do you have difficulty clearly hearing speech when in groups or in background noise?
-
Do you find that you are consistently asking for repetition?
-
Do you have trouble understanding speech on television or radio at normal volume levels?
-
Does speech sound unclear or "mumbled"?
-
Do you find it more difficult to hear the voices of women or children?
-
Are those around you noticing that you are not hearing as well? Are they getting frustrated?
-
Do you hear ringing or buzzing in your ears?
-
Do you have difficulty hearing when on the telephone?
If you have answered "yes" to three or more of these questions, you might benefit from wearing hearing aids. Consider having a professional at the Halton Hearing Centre complete your hearing test.
