Hi all,
I am suffering from sensorineural hearing loss. The nerves in my ears are not developed completely. I have difficulty in hearing higher frequency sounds since birth. Now, I am missing out on many important high-frequency consonants in words ( for eg: S, K, F). Without them, the words were unclear and it is just like a murmuring sound. I decided to finally get a hearing aid and consulted an expert audiologist in westside audiology for a detailed check-up. My audiologist recommended that I need an advanced hearing aid and advised me to choose the best style aid from the list ( http://www.westsideaudiology.com/hearing-aids/hearing-aid-styles/ ) To be frank, I don’t have any knowledge in this field. Which type hearing aids suits me? Open fit plugs or closed fit? Any suggestions would be appreciable. Thank you in advance.
