As a result, almost all hearing aids now contain some kind of water-resistant design to repel water, delaying or avoiding the detrimental effects of moisture. Starkey Hearing Technologies has developed a new protective hearing aid technology, called HydraShield®2, which not only improves upon existing water-resistant properties, but also adds resistance to waxes, oils and other liquids.
Hearing care professionals and patients want hearing aids that are resistant to water, sweat, earwax and other foreign materials. They desire hearing aids that work reliably in challenging environments and peace-of-mind in knowing that the sensitive electronics in their hearing aids are well-protected throughout years of ownership.
In recent years, hearing aids have integrated water resistance to reduce corrosion and improve reliability. Unfortunately, water resistance did little to address the most common failure mode – the ingress of foreign materials, such as oils and earwax. Through successful laboratory testing and actual patient experiences, HydraShield2 technology offers an effective and comprehensive solution, unrivaled in the industry. Not only does it optimize moisture protection through superhydrophobicity, but it also adds oleophobic surface properties.
Together, these increase the longevity and durability of today’s hearing aids as well as add to patient satisfaction.

The battery is a necessary evil. It can be a nuisance to have to change, but there are a couple of things you can do to prolong the life of your battery and improve your listening experience at the same time. Finding a hearing aid battery that you can trust is key.
There are many different brands but some will last longer than others. If you have a battery brand that you use for other areas of your life, look for this battery for your hearing aid as well.
It’s likely that if you use Energizer, Rayovac or Duracell batteries successfully in your household tools, you’ll find that these brands work well in your hearing aids as well. If you don’t know which brand to trust, ask your hearing healthcare provider. Often, they will be able to provide guidance or, even better, you can get your batteries straight from them.
In many cases, providers will purchase batteries directly from the manufacturer, making their batteries much fresher than what you might find on your local drug store shelf. Freshness of the battery is important. If the batteries have been sitting on the shelf for a long time, they may not perform well. This can cause all sorts of issues in your hearing aid including fluctuations in sound, a steady decrease in volume over time, or strange circuit noises.
There’s nothing more frustrating than having your hearing aid malfunction. Being able to depend on your hearing aid batteries makes it that much easier to wear your hearing aids with confidence.
If you are concerned about the freshness of your batteries, take a look at the box. On the outside of the box will be an expiration date. Generally speaking, hearing aid batteries have a three-year shelf life. This means that from the time they are produced, they can sit in the box dormant (non-functioning) without losing any strength.
So, when you purchase your hearing aid batteries, look for a box with a date the furthest out: a February 2014 date is better than a September 2013 date, for example.
So, how long do hearing aid batteries generally last?
The life expectancy of your hearing aid battery really depends on the type of hearing aid you have and how long you wear them each day. In general, the smaller the hearing aid, the smaller the battery. The smaller the battery, the shorter the life expectancy of that battery. And, it depends on the circuitry in the hearing aid, too. Some hearing aids are constantly working to improve the sound quality and reduce noise.
These “automatic” hearing aids generally require more battery power. You’ll find that with this type of hearing aid, the battery life can fluctuate. For example, if you have a week that is relatively quiet – you’re at home most of the time and not around a lot of noise, your hearing aid batteries may last longer than a week that is very active in terms of listening environments.
The more active you are, the more power your hearing aid may need in order to perform all of its sound cleaning and restoration functions. If you are curious how long your hearing aid batteries should last, ask your hearing healthcare provider. They will be able to calculate the life expectancy of the batteries used in your particular hearing aid. Knowing what to expect from your hearing aid will allow you to plan accordingly and hear with confidence.

This 7-minute vistic accompaniment of classical music. Pletsch, a former medical illustration student at the Medical College of Georgia, first built a physical ear model and mapped which frequency ranges hit which parts of the inner ear. He then created digital renderings of each part of the hearing pathway using several software packages. A narrator describes how the sound waves travel through each portion of the ear, and how hair cells translate the vibrations they induce into nerve impulses.

What Causes Hearing Loss?
The most common form of hearing loss is called “nerve deafness.” This comes as a result of the fact that the cochlea (inner ear) and auditory nerves do not properly transmit their signal to the brain. Other possible causes are prolonged exposure to loud sounds, aging, heredity, certain illnesses, and
medications.
What should I do if I or a loved one suspects hearing loss?
The first step should be a professional hearing examination by a licensed specialist. This will help to determine the level and type of hearing loss, as well as what is needed in order to treat the hearing loss. Today’s modern hearing aid technology allows many hearing losses to be successfully corrected with a hearing aid. However, only about 25 percent of people who could benefit from the use of hearing aids actually do use them.
Which is the best brand of hearing aids?
There are approximately 24 worldwide hearing aid manufacturers, each producing exceptional quality products. Which brand is right for you will be determined by the results of your audiogram, your lifestyle, cosmetic requirements and your dexterity. Your hearing professional will select the brand only after selecting the type of circuit best suited for your individual hearing loss as indicated by your examination.
What style hearing aids do I need?
This is a personal choice which will be made between you and your hearing specialist. At Hearing Aid HealthCare, our approach is to discuss with you the physiological and cosmetic needs available to your individual hearing assessment and listening demands.
There are six primary styles:
1) the Intra-In-Canal (IIC), the newest and smallest style. They cannot be seen at all when worn.
2) The Completely-In-Canal (CIC), which is barely visible when worn.
3) The Receiver-In-Canal (RIC), which places the computer processor on top of the ear, with the receiver worn in the canal; these are practically unnoticeable when worn.
4) The In-the-Canal (ITC), which is slightly larger than the CIC.
5) The In-the-Ear (ITE), which fills the ear bowl.
6) The Behind-The-Ear (BTE), which is used with an ear mold worn in the ear bowl; this style is used when high-power output is needed.
How Much Do Hearing Aids Cost?
Hearing aid prices vary greatly, depending on several criteria, allowing them to be affordable to everyone. An entry level instrument will range from $600 to $1,200, and the premium instruments will range from $2,800 to $3,500 per hearing aid. The most common differences that affect pricing are the level of technology, style, performance, features, warranties and accessories.At Hearing Aid HealthCare, we carry the full spectrum of hearing instruments to fit any lifestyle and budget.
