Low-gain hearing aids aren\u2019t effective for everyone with hearing loss. It\u2019s helpful to understand the conditions they would work with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nLow-gain hearing aids work best with auditory processing disorder and hidden hearing loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Auditory processing disorder is a condition where the brain doesn\u2019t properly translate the meaning of sounds. It commonly displays itself by feeling like you can\u2019t hear, even though your hearing test is normal and struggling to hear or being easily distracted in noisy situations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Hidden hearing loss<\/a> is hearing loss that\u2019s not detectable on standard hearing tests. Those with hidden hearing loss often feel like they have hearing loss and struggle to hear in noisy settings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Low-gain hearing aids aren\u2019t appropriate if you have significant or profound hearing loss since they only provide minimal amplification. Your hearing specialist can help guide you through a proper diagnosis and treatment options; you should avoid self-diagnosing APD and HHL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How They Work<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Hearing aids that provide less volume amplification may seem counterintuitive, however, low-gain hearing aids enhance parts of sound that specifically help what those with APD and HHL are missing. A 2018 study found that low-gain hearing aids provided significant improvements<\/a> in self-perceived auditory processing difficulties and speech-in-noise performance. <\/p>\n\n\n\nLow-gain hearing aids improve the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Speech clarity: Low-gain hearing aids better amplify high-frequency, low-intensity sounds. This provides clarity of speech, helping amplify sounds those with ADP and HHL may be missing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Signal-to-noise improvements: Those with ADP and HHL often struggle to hear in noisy environments. Low-gain hearing aids help to amplify speech, making it easier to hear conversations in places with noisy environments, such as Condesa Coffee.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
As with most medical conditions, not everyone will benefit from low-gain hearing aids as a management option. To learn more or discuss it with a hearing specialist, schedule an appointment at Advanced Hearing<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
