Mount Kisco, NY (PRWEB) August 20, 2005
According to e-HearingAids.com, a new medical device website, the first version of a hearing aid was invented in the early 1500Âs. It was not until 1800, however, that hearing aids became a consumer product. By the end of the 19th century, hearing aids were mass produced and very large in size. The first well-known product was a tabletop model and cost somewhere in the $ 400 range.
Hearing aids amplify sounds, especially voice and speech, effectively so that the person has a better sense of what is being said to them. Although hearing aids have seen tremendous transformations over the years, the concept has remained the same. Most hearing aids still utilize basic principles to help the hard-of-hearing.
As e-HearingAids.com explains, the three basic components of a hearing aid are microphone, amplifier and the receiver. The microphone serves as the reception device that captures sound waves. The microphone is responsible for taking auditory sounds (sounds that humans can hear) and converting them into electronic sounds that are detected by the amplifier. The amplifier takes the sounds transmitted from the microphone and makes them louder.
