What is general good health?
Background noise may be a reason why a hearing aid or CI may not be enough in a certain situation. This may be another reason.

One component of AR that only audiologists can do and one component of AR that only SLPs can do.
What is fitting hearing aids, tinnitus mgt, vestibular rehab, mapping cochlear implants, etc.?
What is speech, language, voice, literacy, etc. assessment and treatment?
This hearing aid would not require an earmold impression.
RITE
ITC
BTE with silicone custom earmold
CIC
What is RITE?
This part of the CI receives the coded signal from transmitter through the skin.
What is the internal transmitter?
A way a person with a profound hearing loss could be alerted to a door bell.
A 3 year old has had chronic ear infections since infancy. Therefore, she continues to have significant conductive hearing loss. It is affecting her speech and language. An air conduction hearing aid does not work due to the drainage.

What is that CI use electrical stimulation and HA use acoustic amplification?
What is that CI bypass the hair cells and HA rely on remaining hair cells?
