Hearing aid parts

Image of hearing aid with common parts labeled

Hearing aids use these parts to help channel and amplify sound from your environment into your ear — microphone (detects the sound), amplifier (makes the sound stronger), speaker (sends the sound into your ear so that you can hear it), battery (provides power to the electronic parts) and volume control (increases or decreases the volume of the sound).
