The
function
of
the
outside
ear
is
to
collect
sound
waves.
These
waves
vibrate
the
air
inside
the
auditory
canal
which
in
turn
passes
the
vibration
to
the
eardrum.
Inside
the
ear,
the
hammer
bone
is
attached
to
the
anvil
and
stirrup
bones,
which
vibrate
the
oval
window
and
the
round
window.
This
vibration
results
in
fluid
moving
to
the
cochlea,
which
surrounds
the
Organ
of
Corti.
This
organ
is
very
important.
It
is
covered
with
thousands
of
tiny
hair
cells
which
cause
chemical
reactions
which
create
nerve
impulses.
The
ear
is
a
complex
part
of
the
body
and
the
outer
ear
which
we
can
all
see
is
just
the
start.
What
you’ve
just
read
is
a
basic
version
of
something
much
more
complicated,
and
Beltone
have
known
the
intricacies
of
the
ear
and
hearing
for
many
years
and
use
their
knowledge
when
designing
hearing
aids.
Beltone
hearing
aids
have
been
on
the
market
since
1940
and
have
a
number
of
different
models.
The
traditional
shell
styles
include:
Beltone
One
(a
small
BTE
hearing
aid),
Beltone
Access,
Beltone
Arca,
Beltone
Corus,
Beltone
Edge,
Beltone
Linq
and
the
Beltone
Mira.
The
Invisa,
Petite
and
Opera
Plus
are
all
worn
in
the
canal.
Beltone
has
helped
a
number
of
generations
who
have
relied
upon
their
services.
They
also
sell
other
products
for
the
hearing
impaired
such
as:
amplified
cordless
phones,
Blue
tooth
ear
sets,
loud
alarm
clocks,
neckloops,
personal
listening
systems
and
phone
modules.
Beltone's
listening
systems
can
help
those
who
have
difficulty
hearing
in
public
places
such
as
theaters
and
cinemas.
Those
people
who
are
were
once
limited
to
reading
lips
and
figuring
out
actions
no
longer
need
to
miss
out.
It
also
used
to
be
very
common
for
hearing
impaired
people
to
have
difficulties
when
wanting
to
wake
up
in
the
morning
as
without
their
hearing
aid,
they
would
not
hear
their
alarm,
but
the
older
hearing
aids
were
very
uncomfortable
when
trying
to
sleep.
Beltone
has
designed
an
alarm
clock
which
vibrates,
known
as
the
‘Wake
and
Shake’
which
features
a
vibration
and
a
flashing
strobe.
Beltone
sell
batteries
for
hearing
aids,
but
you
can
also
find
tem
in
many
stores
and
pharmacies
so
there
should
always
be
somewhere
open
if
your
battery
runs
out
at
an
inconvenient
time.
Name-brand
batteries
are
obviously
more
expensive
that
unnamed
brands,
but
if
you
want
to
go
for
the
named
brands,
you
will
find
that
it
works
out
cheaper
to
buy
in
bulk
and
also,
this
way
you
do
not
have
to
worry
about
getting
out
to
buy
a
new
battery
every
few
weeks.
Beltone
has
products
available
throughout
the
US
and
representatives
can
visit
to
show
you
the
wide
range
of
products
available.
The
only
problem
finding
a
representative
would
be
if
you
live
in
a
very
small
rural
area.
