It typically consists of a miniature microphone, amplifier, and speaker (receiver) contained in a case that fits completely inside the outer ear (concha) [in-the-ear (ITE)]. The microphone receives sound waves and converts them into electrical signals which are increased by the amplifier and sent as sound waves, by the speaker, to the eardrum. The device is used for mild to severe hearing loss; most types are programmable to enable computerized adjustments for a patient's hearing loss and related factors.falseActiveLRBFace plate hearing aidfalsefalse
