Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: What is a Hearing Aid?
A: Hearing aids are small electronic devices that you select with the help of your hearing professional. They are worn in or behind your ear. They amplify sound so that a person with hearing loss can listen, communicate, and participate more fully in daily activities. Hearing aids can help people hear better in both quiet and noisy situations. However, only about one out of five people who would benefit from a hearing aid actually use one. A hearing aid has three basic parts: the microphone, amplifier and receiver (speaker). The hearing aid receives sound through the microphone, which converts the sound waves to electrical signals and sends them to the amplifier. The amplifier increases the power of the signals and then sends them to the ear through the receiver. - Q: How can hearing aids help?
A: Hearing aids are primarily useful in improving the hearing and speech comprehension of people who have hearing loss that results from damage to the small sensory cells in the inner ear, called hair cells. This type of hearing loss is called sensorineural hearing loss. The damage can occur as a result of disease, aging, or injury from noise or certain medicines. A hearing aid magnifies sound vibrations entering the ear. Surviving hair cells detect the larger vibrations and convert them into neural signals that are passed along to the brain. The greater the damage to a person’s hair cells, the more severe the hearing loss, and the greater the hearing aid amplification needed to make up the difference. However, there are practical limits to the amount of amplification a hearing aid can provide. In addition, if the inner ear is too damaged, even large vibrations will not be converted into neural signals. In this situation, a hearing aid would be ineffective. - Q: How can I find out if I need a hearing aid?
A: During your visit an audiometric exam will be conducted. This exam will determine if you have a hearing loss and if it’s correctable by hearing aids. If you have a hearing loss and it is determined that it cannot be corrected with hearing aids, you will then be referred out to an otolaryngologist. An otolaryngologist is a physician who specializes in ear, nose, and throat disorders and will investigate the cause of the hearing loss. - Q: What qualifications should I look for?
A: Most hearing aid dispensers in Ireland are members of I.S.H.A.A., ISHAA has represented Clinical and Diagnostic Hearing Aid Audiologists working in the private audiology sector across Ireland since 1987. In order to be a member of I.S.H.A.A. a member has to hold a recognised qualification to practice as a hearing aid audiologist. I.S.H.A.A. membership is your guarantee that the professional you are dealing with is qualified. ISHAA is the professional body recognised by the Department of Social protection to represent Qualified Hearing Aid Audiologists regarding the Treatment Benefit Scheme.
