Listen "Hearing Aids vs Hearing Amplifiers: What’s the Difference, Really?"
Episode Synopsis
They both make things louder, so what’s the big deal? Quite a lot, actually. In this episode, we look at the growing world of over-the-counter hearing amplifiers — how they compare to prescription hearing aids, when they might help, and when they might do more harm than good.From custom fitting to feedback control and brain adaptation, we’ll dive into the science of why “louder” doesn’t always mean “clearer.” If you’ve ever wondered whether those online amplifiers are worth it, this one’s for you.
