The [i]National Institute on Deafness and Other Communicative Disorders[/i] describes a hearing aid as; "a small electronic device that you wear in or behind your ear. It makes some sounds louder so that a person with hearing loss can listen, communicate, and participate more fully in daily activities. A hearing aid can help people hear more in both quiet and noisy situations." "Source":[https://www.nidcd.nih.gov/health/hearing-aids]
