What is a hearing aid?
A hearing aid is a small electronic device specifically designed to enhance the volume of sounds

to improve hearing for people suffering from hearing loss.
How do hearing aids work?
Essentially a hearing aid has three main parts: a microphone, an amplifier, and a speaker.
The microphone collects the surrounding sounds, the amplifier then increases the volume of these sounds,
and the speaker transmits the amplified sound into the ear.
