Hearing loss, which may be caused by exposure to loud noise, can be treated with the usage of a hearing aid. According to the Discovery Health website, the first hearing aid device was created in the 19th Century.
Patients with loss of hearing used an ear trumpet to deal with the condition. It wasn’t until the 1950s, that a small hearing aid was created. As Discovery Health states, “Early transistor hearing aids were designed to fit within the frames of eyeglasses. Later, they were adapted to fit behind the ear. The first transistor hearing aid to hit the market in late 1952 was sold by Sonotone for $229.50.”
These days, hearing devices can be found in different styles and colors. The phonak brand carries three different styles:
Custom and Instant In-The-Ear (ITE)
Micro Behind-The-Ear (micro BTE)
Behind-The-Ear (BTE)
