When hugging someone with a hearing aid is it normal to hear it screech?
The screech or squeal you hear when hugging someone with a hearing aid is caused by sound waves. Hearing aids amplify sound to help the person hear better, and typically some of the sound waves escape out of the ear unnoticed. If you get too close to the hearing aid, however, instead of escaping out into the world, the sound waves are recycled back into the hearing aid. This is similar to putting a mic in front of a speaker. Screech! Most of the newer hearing aids have the technology to identify this sound and reduce it within microseconds, so they screech very little. Either way, if you are lucky enough to get a hug from someone, just disregard the sound, and enjoy the "squeeze" instead of the "screech"!
