Hearing aids are small electronic devices that work by amplifying sounds, which means that they make sounds louder and this way help a person with hearing loss hear better. They are worn behind the ear or inside the ear and can be taken off. Hearing aids are used for mild to moderate cases of hearing loss.
On the other hand, hearing implants come in as an ideal option in cases where hearing aids cannot help in a right way anymore. Also, hearing implants are a great solution for people with more severe cases of hearing loss and those who have problems in a certain part of the ear, that hearing aids cannot overcome. These devices are surgically implanted and present a long-term hearing solution.
So, depending on a type and severity of hearing loss, your health care professional will give you the right advice about the possible solution for your hearing problem!

Unlike hearing aids, cochlear implants directly stimulate the inner ear, as they bypass the problems in the ear and send the sounds to the auditory nerve directly.  These devices enable users to hear again and perceive the sounds around them, listen to music and enjoy the social interactions.
The high costs of hearing implants are usually named as a main drawback of CIs – however, this is not necessarily the case. There are many financing options and the insurance can cover certain part or total costs of a cochlear implant, depending on the country.
