🔊 Audiology Awareness Month: Week 3 — Cochlear Implants & Bone Conduction Devices

While hearing aids are the most common form of hearing amplification, they’re not the only option. For some individuals, other advanced technologies can make an even greater difference in hearing and communication.

👂 Cochlear Implants
Cochlear implants are designed for people with moderate to profound sensorineural hearing loss who receive limited benefit from traditional hearing aids.
These small electronic devices bypass the damaged parts of the inner ear and directly stimulate the hearing nerve, allowing sound signals to reach the brain.
Many people who receive cochlear implants experience improved speech understanding and are able to reconnect more fully with family, friends, and the world around them.

🦻 Bone Conduction Devices
Bone conduction devices are ideal for individuals with conductive or single-sided hearing loss. Instead of sending sound through the ear canal, they transfer sound vibrations through the bone directly to the inner ear — bypassing the outer and middle ear altogether.
They can be worn on a soft headband or surgically implanted, depending on the user’s needs and lifestyle.

Both cochlear implants and bone conduction devices are specialized medical treatments, and candidacy is determined through a thorough evaluation by an audiologist and ENT specialist.

👩‍⚕️ The good news? There are more options than ever before — and with the right technology, hearing and connection can be greatly improved!

🎧 Audiology Awareness Month: Week 3 — Hearing Aids: Prescription vs. Over-the-Counter

Hearing aids have come a long way — today’s devices are small, smart, and powerful. They don’t just make sounds louder; they make speech clearer, reduce background noise, and can connect seamlessly to your phone or TV. 📱

When it comes to choosing a hearing aid, there are two main categories:

👩‍⚕️ Prescription Hearing Aids
These are fit and programmed by a license professional after a comprehensive hearing evaluation. Prescription hearing aids are customized for your unique hearing loss, ear shape, and communication needs. They can treat mild to profound hearing losses and are professionally supported with ongoing adjustments, maintenance, and counseling.

🏪 Over-the-Counter (OTC) Hearing Devices
OTC devices are designed for adults with perceived mild to moderate hearing loss and can be purchased without a hearing test. While they can be more affordable, they’re not custom-programmed and may not provide the same clarity or comfort as prescription devices — especially if your hearing loss is more complex.

💡 The key takeaway:
If you’ve noticed difficulty hearing, start with a hearing evaluation. A hearing care professional can help determine the degree and type of hearing loss — and guide you toward the right option for your needs, budget, and lifestyle.
