No, they are made after your ears.

An audiologist will take a mould impression of your ear using a soft semi-liquid rubber substance that dries when it reacts with oxygen in the air.

The cast will be sent to a laboratory, where it will be fashioned into ahearingaid mould, either by hand or, in some countries, by state-of-the-art laser cutting/moulding.

Because the mould is designed for your ear, it will slip in and out perfectly.


However, if you don't take it out when you sleep, the friction between the mould and your ear can cause irritation and sometimes light bleeding when you roll around in your sleep. So, as long as you take out the hearing aid when you sleep, you'll be fine.


In the UK, hearing aids, hearing aid maintenance and hearing tests are free on the National Health Service.

See an audiologist for more information.

Why would someone need to buy hearing aids?

Hearing aids are critical for persons experiencing hearing loss as a result of aging, exposure to noise, hereditary factors, or underlying medical conditions. They assist in sound amplification, facilitating the ease of participating in conversations and entertainment. People with hearing loss without amplification aids are likely to experience communication difficulties, which leads to frustration, social withdrawal, and clinical depression. Hearing aids not only support communication for day to day interactions, but also improve the user's ability to hear safety critical information such as alarms, traffic, and doorbells. In addition, hearing aids support cognitive health and the risk of cognitive decline. Hearing aids are now equipped with modern Bluetooth and noise reduction capabilities, making the user experience easy and comfortable. They are also rechargeable, making them more discreet, effortless, and adaptable to diverse degrees of hearing loss . If you or someone you know struggles with asking others to repeat information consistently, requires the volume to be maximized frequently, or has a hard time hearing in louder rooms, it is advisable to seek an assessment. Companies such as Ear Solutions provide hearing evaluations, as well as a diverse selection of hearing aids to accommodate different lifestyles and financial requirements. In the end, the purchase of hearing aids goes beyond just better hearing. It is an attempt to improve an individual’s entire life experience. In the context of work, social engagements, or personal pursuits, hearing aids enable a fuller, more confident life.
