All hearing aids have a microphone, a digital amplifier, and a speaker. The microphone picks up sounds and sends them to the amplifier, which is actually a tiny digital processor that selects which sounds to make clearer and which sounds to ignore. It then gives those important signals a boost before pushing them through the speaker. The end result? Crisper, clearer sound with better understanding.

Signs of hearing loss may include: turning up the TV or radio higher than what others prefer, experiencing the perception that others mumble, asking people to repeat themselves often, and more. You might also find yourself leaning forward to hear a conversation or having trouble hearing in noisy situations, like in a crowded restaurant.

Hearing loss ranges from mild to profound, depending on how much a person’s hearing deviates from normal levels. The signs and impact of hearing loss vary based on both the degree and type. For instance, someone with mild to moderate hearing loss may follow conversations in quiet settings but struggle in noisy environments. In contrast, individuals with severe to profound hearing loss may find it extremely difficult to communicate without hearing aids, cochlear implants, or sign language. Different types of hearing aids are suited to different levels of hearing loss. Eargo hearing aids are primarily designed to support mild to moderate high-frequency hearing loss, which often results from aging or prolonged noise exposure.

Tinnitus is often described as a ringing, buzzing, or hissing in the ears. We don’t know the exact cause of tinnitus, but there is a high correlation between tinnitus and hearing loss. If you are experiencing ringing, buzzing, or hissing in your ears, we recommend you visit your doctor. Your doctor may suggest a hearing aid since hearing loss and tinnitus often go hand in hand. Although a hearing aid doesn’t mask the tinnitus, it may help you focus on what you want to hear.

Eargo devices are designed for adults with mild to moderate high-frequency hearing loss. These advanced hearing aids are particularly well-suited for individuals who benefit more from enhanced clarity rather than increased volume.
