What Really Makes Hearing Aids Work
Description
In this episode of the Earvangelism Podcast, we unpack the key factors that determine how effective hearing aids truly are. From the degree and type of hearing loss, to the role of technology, fitting formulae, and audiologist expertise, through to the brain’s remarkable ability to adapt — we explore why success with hearing aids depends on much more than the device itself.
You’ll hear why consistency is critical, how patient feedback shapes customization, and why encouraging friends or loved ones to give their hearing aids a real try can make all the difference. Finally, we step back to remind ourselves of an important truth: no matter how advanced the technology becomes, nothing compares to the natural hearing we’re born with — which makes protecting our ears more important than ever.
