Hearing Aids - Digital Types, Cochlear Implants and Limitations

Hearing aid is an electronic device that helps people with hearing loss to hear more and communicate more effectively. Only 1 out of 5 people benefit from a hearing aid.
The app works by increasing the audio levels of only low sounds while turning down the audio levels of loud sounds, similar to what a human ear does. “We are very excited about the potential of BioAid which could genuinely change lives. People with hearing impairment very often withdraw from public life. Even if they have a hearing aid, the technology is not sophisticated enough to offer a tailor-made solution to their impairment and in many cases people simply stop using them”, lead researcher Professor Ray Meddis said.
