Signs of Loss of Hearing

The consumers who suspect they suffer from hearing loss should obtain a thorough medical evaluation, preferably by an ear specialist, to have their hearing tested.

You may have hearing loss if

• people say you are shouting when you talk to them.
• you need the TV or radio turned up louder than other people do.
• you often ask people to repeat themselves because you can’t hear or understand them, especially in groups or when there is background noise.
• you can hear better out of one ear than the other.
• you have to strain to hear.
• you can’t hear a dripping faucet or a high note of a violin.
• Feel annoyed at other people because you cannot hear or understand them?

Most users encounter the above-mentioned hearing impaired problem and usually choose to buy the personal sound amplifier products (PSAPs) they see on the TV. In fact, this choice is completely wrong, they don’t know the difference between hearing aids and personal sound amplifiers.

Hearing Aids and Personal Sound Amplifiers: Know the Difference

In March 2009, Food and Drug Administration issued guidance describing how hearing aids and personal sound amplifying devices differ.

The guidance defines a hearing aid as a sound-amplifying device intended to compensate for impaired hearing. PSAPs are not intended to make up for impaired hearing. Instead, they are intended for non-hearing-impaired consumers to amplify sounds in the environment for a number of reasons, such as for recreational activities.

How to compensate for impaired hearing

If you have the above hearing impairment problems, you’ve come to the right place. AUSTAR hearing specializes in R&D and manufacture of hearing aids. AUSTAR is the largest manufacturer of professional hearing aids with medical standards in China, and has been helping the hearing impaired people for more than 18 years. Choose a hearing aid instead of PSAPs, hearing aid is a sound-amplifying device intended to compensate for impaired hearing.

Types of hearing aids and how to choose what’s best for you
