Benefits of hearing aids for kids, seniors and adults
Hearing loss affects Green Bay residents of all ages, from children to adults to seniors. According to federal data, 30 million people in the U.S. over age 12 have hearing loss in both ears. But only 1 in 5 people who could benefit from a hearing aid uses one.
A hearing aid has three parts: a microphone, an amplifier and a speaker. Sound enters through the microphone. An amplifier then analyzes and adjusts the sound according to the user’s hearing loss and environment before sending the sound to the ears through the speaker.
Benefits of hearing aids for kids, seniors and adults include:
- Improved hearing
- Improved mental health
- Improved physical health
- Increased sociability
What types of hearing aids are available in Green Bay?

| Open fit | Like BTE but only has a narrow tube going to ear canal | Less visible than BTE; own voice sounds less “plugged up” | Only works for mild to moderate hearing loss |
| Receiver in the ear (RITE) | Like BTE but speaker is in ear canal | Behind-the-ear part is less visible | Earwax can interfere with speaker |
| In the ear (ITE) | Custom-molded; fits in outer ear | Feature options; easier to handle than smaller hearing aides | More visible than smaller hearing aides; may get clogged with earwax |
| In the canal (ITC) | Custom-molded; fits partly in ear canal | Among the most discreet devices | May be difficult for user to adjust |
| Completely in the canal (CIC) | Custom-molded; fits inside ear canal | Smallest and least visible type of hearing aid | Short battery life; fewer features |

Start by figuring out which hearing aids are available for your level of hearing loss before weighing other priorities, like cost, look and comfort.
Getting a hearing aid test and fitting
Before getting hearing aids in Green Bay, you will need a hearing aid test and fitting with an audiologist or hearing care professional. A hearing aid test will measure your hearing loss and determine which hearing aids are a good match. Use the hearing aid test and fitting as an opportunity to ask questions, like which devices come with a trial period (most do) and how long warranties last (usually one to three years) and what they cover (damage, repairs and loss).
When your hearing aids are ready, the hearing care professional will help with fitting and programming. The specialist should explain what to expect when first wearing your hearing aids, how to put the device in and take it out and how to clean it, as well as other tips and suggestions.
