At the behest of my mom (and I always do exactly as she tells me) I'm posting a bit of information on hearing aids. A lot of people think that using a hearing aid will involve a drastic lifestyle change. The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association's brief breakdown of various types of hearing aids highlights the flexibility available with current technology. Two types of modifications are specifically made to digitally programmable hearing aids: to custom fit your pattern of hearing loss, and to custom fit your lifestyle and needs.

Happy hearing :)
Although ASHA includes conventional analog and analog programmable, these are not commonly sold. Digital technology will be the primary technology discussed and available. So true that LIFESTYLE is such an important factor in choosing a hearing aid! It's not just about the ears, but the person who is carrying those ears around!
