Millions of people in India have some form of hearing loss, which affects not only them but also their friends and family, who struggle to talk to them, even during simple conversations.
In short, effective communication is vital through which we can share our thoughts and feelings to others. But, when we cannot speak nicely, we usually feel sad and frustrated.
Thanks to modern hearing aids for coming as a permanent solution to hearing loss. These hearing devices have advanced features and technologies that can fix a range of hearing loss problems in a few days or weeks.
Plus, modern hearing aids also offer an amazing sound-quality and fitting to their users, so that they only get the best hearing experience so far.
Our ear has three main parts including:
This includes everything you can see and the ear canal down to the eardrum.
Behind the eardrum, you’ll find the middle ear. It contains three tiny bones: the malleus (hammer), incus (anvil), and stapes (stirrup). These bones help pass sound waves from the eardrum to the inner ear.
The inner ear contains the cochlea and the semi-circular canals. The cochlea is a small, spiral-shaped structure that helps you hear. It has fluid inside and thousands of tiny hair follicles attached to a thin membrane. Each follicle responds to a different pitch and sends sound signals to the brain through the hearing nerve. In short, the semi-circular canals are responsible for balancing your hearing ability.
When something makes a sound, it sends sound waves through the air. At that time, our outer ear collects these waves and guides them through the ear canal until they reach the eardrum. After that, these sound waves make the eardrum vibrate, and create vibrations that pass through three small bones of the middle ear.
Now, the last bone, called the stapes will connect to the inner ear that will move a fluid like thing inside that organ. This allows the tiny hair components to move along with the fluid that creates an electrical signal in return. And to make you hear properly, this signal must travel through the auditory nerve until it reaches the brain.
