The exact date of the evolution of the first hearing aid is unknown, but the first written description was written in Natural Magick by Giovanni Battista Porta in 1558. For years, movies, comics, books and mocked hearing aid users, ignoring the usefulness of the device. No wonder nobody wanted to be seen wearing one. There is much about the history of hearing aids to satisfy the curious. There are museums that have documented the long history of hearing aids in U.S. and from other countries.

Just the thought of getting one was usually a cause for despair, until five years ago, nobody wanted a hearing aid. They were huge and unattractive and shouted to the world – me! Many people equate with age and that definitely carried a stigma. Furthermore, early hearing aid, even when he had moved beyond being trumpets, horns and carrying in the body, were still unattractive. Even with the new behind the ear hearnig AIDS called BTE, continued to carry some level of stigmatization.

However, the future of hearing aids is here with the development of hearing aids virtually invisible. The new offerings are certainly high-tech and part of the information age. Some are even very elegant, it offers Bluetooth technology and transmission of music via iPod, which helps remove the stigma of age in our youth-obsessed society.

Even some of the aid smaller audience today will allow the user to connect directly to TVs, computers, CD players or other electronic devices. These types of use as known as "Direct Audio Input" technology, but are designed so that most people do not even know they're using one, assuming instead that you are only using the technology as others.

Types of hearing aids are almost invisible

Almost headphones invisible are maintained inside the ear or ear canal itself. These are installed on the basis of the severity of hearing loss, size and shape of the ear of the person and style.

Hearing aids Some of the main types of "almost invisible" are the guys behind the ear, namely:

The small open BTE fits behind the ear. These are very discreet and equipped according to the size of the ear. This type is best suited to people with mild to moderate hearing loss. Behind the types of ear (BTE). This type of hearing aid is good for all types of loss hearing.

These are barely visible, with the only witness sign is the tube that enters the ear itself. Another popular style is the digital hearing aid that fits inside ear.

These include:

In the canal hearing aids (ITC) are very small and most fit into the ear canal thus be quite hidden. They are great for moderately severe hearing loss. In ear type hearing aids (ITE) work well for severe hearing loss. Although not as attractive as the ITC, are still a big improvement on previous types.

The latter type satisfies the truth "almost invisible" label. They are known as the CIC or completely in the ear canal hearing aid. It is mainly used for mild to moderate loss, these fit, as its name suggests, entirely within the ear canal. In most cases, are completely invisible to the viewer. This is far from the headphones principles in terms of size and appearance aesthetics. The small battery-operated device is the only drawback. Some users find it difficult to operate.

The invisible audience support The Unitron Moxi CRT Hearing Aid is a canal receiver technology (CRT) device that fits inside the ear so completely that it is virtually invisible. It is better for people with mild to severe hearing loss.

Fully implantable hearing aids are also invisible so that you can not see at all. This new fully invisitble headset, which is still undergoing clinical trials is also water resistant. With such social stigma that still exists to some extent will be greatly eliminated. In fact, these new small lightweight headphones have a significant disadvantage, often get lost or be hard to find when taken and placed on a surface.

No more than any person regardless of age must decide between ignore their hearing problems and use of hearing aids. The new devices make this choice not invisible item, and carriers of hearing can now use your style and pride.
