RIC HEARING AIDS – “TREASURE” MODEL

The RIC is an open fitting digital hearing aid that has gained worldwide popularity since its introduction at the turn of the century.

The appeal of RIC hearing aids

The RIC hearing aid is placed behind the ear in a body that contains the microphone, amplifier and processing chip, while the receiver (speaker) is placed in the ear canal via a thin wire connection. This design means that the size can be smaller than traditional behind-the-ear hearing aids and produces a more natural sound with less acoustic feedback (whistling).

Ric hearing aid and its wearing effect

Ability to hear high frequency sounds

The first symptom of hearing loss for most people with hearing loss is the absence of high frequency sounds (e.g. finding themselves unable to hear an electric bell, birds chirping in the park, etc.).

RIC hearing aids excel at amplifying high frequency sounds, while still producing a natural sound effect. Therefore it is very suitable for people with early detection of hearing problems or mild to moderate hearing loss, but of course RIC also has models designed for people with severe hearing loss.

 

Hardly noticeable when wearing a hearing aid

The RIC is extremely compact and lightweight, making it much more comfortable to wear than other hearing aids.

 

Hear a more natural sound

Because the receiver is placed in the ear canal, it transmits sound directly into the ear canal, which means the sound is less likely to be distorted. In addition, because RIC machines can be used with open ear plugs as an option, the discomfort of the plugged ear benefit is greatly reduced, two factors that make RICs one of the most natural-sounding types of hearing aids available.

 

Mitigating the benefits of blocked ears

Hearing aids cover or block the ear canal, which can lead to problems such as hearing yourself too loudly or feeling a hollow sound, a cacophony of sounds when swallowing, and other sensations.

RIC hearing aids with receivers leave the entrance portion of the ear canal open, so severe occlusion benefits can be avoided.

 

Reducing annoying acoustic feedback

Since the receiver is separate from the microphone and amplifier, this means that there is much less potential for signal confusion within the device itself, and therefore also reduces the occurrence of acoustic feedback (whine).

ADVANCES IN HEARING AID TECHNOLOGY: IMPROVING LIVES FOR THE HEARING IMPAIRED

图片
Hearing aids are becoming increasingly popular as a solution for those with hearing loss. With the aging population, the demand for hearing aids is expected to increase in the coming years. Advances in technology have made hearing aids more powerful, smaller, and easier to use. There are two main types of hearing aids: behind-the-ear ( BTE ) and in-the-ear (ITE). BTE hearing aids are worn behind the ear and have a small tube that connects to an earpiece that sits inside the ear canal. ITE hearing aids are worn inside the ear canal and are custom-made to fit the individual’s ear. Recent developments in hearing aid technology have led to the development of “smart” hearing aids. These devices are capable of connecting to smartphones and other devices, allowing the user to control the hearing aid through an app. They can also adjust to different listening environments, such as a noisy restaurant or quiet office. Another recent development in hearing aid technology is the use of artificial

hearing Loss   is a widespread issue that can greatly affect communication and overall well-being. It is essential to take proactive measures to protect our   hearing   and maintain good   auditory health . This article provides valuable tips and strategies for safeguarding our ears from noise-induced hearing loss. Limit Exposure to Loud Noises: One of the most effective ways to prevent hearing loss is by minimizing exposure to loud sounds. Encourage individuals to avoid or reduce their time in noisy environments, such as attending excessively loud concerts or sporting events. In situations where exposure to loud noises is unavoidable, it is crucial to use  earplugs  or earmuffs to reduce the intensity of sound and protect the delicate structures of the inner ear. Utilize Volume-Limiting Devices: With the prevalence of personal audio devices like smartphones and MP3 players, it is important to promote the use of devices with volume-limiting features. These features restrict the maximum

Binaural hearing brings you a better hearing experience

hearing   impairment in one ear for an extended period may lead to a gradual increase in the   hearing Loss   of the weaker ear and can impede the development of the hearing pathway. In a similar vein, hearing deprivation in one ear may compromise the ability to locate sounds accurately. When an individual cannot judge the direction of a sound source, it can lead to potentially hazardous situations. Additionally, hearing difficulties are often exacerbated in noisy environments, and individuals may struggle to discern critical information. For instance, even in quiet settings, it may be possible to miss essential sound cues. Asymmetric hearing loss during childhood can lead to developmental barriers to language acquisition, intellectual hurdles, and difficulties in communication, highlighting the importance of early intervention. Binaural hearing offers several benefits, such as eliminating hearing deprivation in the weaker ear. For children, early intervention is crucial for developing
