All Hearing Aids Are Not Created Equal

Loss of high frequency hearing can lead to a confusing blend of hearing correctly at normal volumes, but without understanding the consonants in the words spoken. Doctors reveal the specific type of hearing aid that must be used to address this type of hearing loss.

Ear Hearing aids have long been known to be the solution for hearing loss. But according to Mr. Randy Wohlers, founder of MyHearPod.com, just any ear hearing aid won’t cut it for a type of hearing loss known as high frequency hearing loss.

According to the Hearing Loss Association of America, 10% of all Americans have hearing loss, and this percentage increases with age. The numbers according to a hearing loss study reported by US News were higher: 16.1% of American adults have speech frequency hearing loss, and 31% have high frequency hearing loss.
