HEARING AIDs
A HEARING AID is meant to be used by people who
are having some difficulty hearing in certain
situations (maybe in a class, religious service,
restaurant, or at home watching television) but who
are not yet candidates or ready for hearing aids.
The Apollo is a fairly general, basic amplifier. It
amplifies all sounds the same amount. It is not
programmed specifically for your hearing loss and is
not based off your audiogram or test results. A
hearing aid is fine-tuned specifically for your
individual hearing loss.
