Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. How do I read an audiogram?
The audiogram is arranged from left to right according to frequency, ranging from low-mid frequencies to high frequencies (125 Hz–8000 Hz). From top to bottom, it represents sound intensity levels from very soft to very loud sounds (-10 dB to 120 dB).

2. How can I choose a suitable hearing aid?
- Appearance is one factor to consider when choosing a hearing aid. Common styles include Receiver-in-Canal (RIC) and In-the-Ear (ITE) hearing aids.
- For individuals with more severe hearing loss who require higher amplification power, Behind-the-Ear (BTE) hearing aids are generally the preferred choice.
- If the hearing loss mainly affects high frequencies (for example, difficulty understanding speech while low-frequency hearing remains relatively good), Receiver-in-Canal (RIC) hearing aids are usually the most recommended option.
- The price of a hearing aid depends mainly on its technology level (basic, mid-range, or premium) and the brand. Costs can range from a few thousand dollars to several tens of thousands of dollars.
- Almost all hearing aid styles except RIC models require a custom-made earmold or shell, which generally provides better comfort and performance.
- Both RIC and In-the-Ear (ITE) hearing aids require the regular replacement of wax guards to prevent earwax buildup from affecting sound quality and overall performance.
