The auricle captures all sound signals and channels them through the ear canal to the eardrum. The shape of the auricle is crucial for directional hearing of sound that reaches the ear from the front or from behind.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>The middle ear<\/strong> is filled with air. The Eustachian tube leads from the middle ear to the throat. Behind the eardrum are the ossicles: malleus, incus and stapes.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>The inner ear<\/strong> is shaped like a snail shell and ultimately contains the sensory receptors for hearing, the hair cells. They connect to the brain via the auditory nerve. <\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=&#8221;Tinnitus&#8221; icon_color=&#8221;#e02b20&#8243; use_icon_font_size=&#8221;on&#8221; icon_font_size=&#8221;26px&#8221; open_icon_color=&#8221;#e02b20&#8243; open_use_icon_font_size=&#8221;on&#8221; open_icon_font_size=&#8221;26px&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.3&#8243; title_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; title_level=&#8221;h3&#8243; border_radii=&#8221;on|8px|8px|8px|8px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Tinnitus is the technical term for persistent ear noises of many different kinds. These include whistling, hissing, humming or recurring clicking sounds. In most cases, only the affected person can perceive them, which makes them difficult to diagnose. Unfortunately, tinnitus can be very distressing for those affected\u2014sleep disturbances, anxiety and even depression may result.<br \/>Treatment options  <\/p>\n<p>In two thirds of people affected by tinnitus, there is a measurable hearing loss. The pitch of the tinnitus often corresponds to the frequency range with the greatest drop in hearing ability. <\/p>\n<p>Compensating for the hearing loss and the associated perception of natural environmental sounds often causes the tinnitus tone to fade or even disappear. A recognised model for treating tinnitus is \u201cTinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT)\u201d. The aim of this model is for the tinnitus to no longer be perceived.  <\/p>\n<p>Among other things, so-called noisers or combination devices are used. These systems actively deliver a pleasant, barely audible noise to the affected person. With a combination device, in addition to the noise, the reduced hearing ability is also compensated.<br \/>Xino Tinnitus  <\/p>\n<p>The patent-pending \u201cTinnitus Multiflex method\u201d can generate an individual sound bed in addition to the ear noise. The affected person can actively participate in the fitting process and significantly shape it. <\/p>\n<p>In addition to the volume and timbre of the noise, it can also be determined whether a steady signal distracts from the tinnitus or whether the signal should resemble recurring ocean surf and thus promote relaxation. In addition to this core function, Xino Tinnitus supports you in all aspects of everyday communication. <\/p>\n<p>In addition to classic features such as improved understanding in noisy situations, the hearing systems can be paired with numerous additional products. For example, the TV sound can be transmitted directly to the hearing aids, or you can make phone calls via the hearing systems. <\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_toggle][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_toggle title=&#8221;Hearing aid types&#8221; icon_color=&#8221;#e02b20&#8243; use_icon_font_size=&#8221;on&#8221; icon_font_size=&#8221;26px&#8221; open_icon_color=&#8221;#e02b20&#8243; open_use_icon_font_size=&#8221;on&#8221; open_icon_font_size=&#8221;26px&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; title_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; title_level=&#8221;h3&#8243; border_radii=&#8221;on|8px|8px|8px|8px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>There are different types of hearing aids. This allows us to offer you an individual, optimal solution. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Behind-the-ear devices (BTE):<\/strong> Behind the auricle, the electronics are housed in a prefabricated plastic casing. Sound is guided into the ear via a custom-made earmould. A wide range of shapes and colours is available.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Receiver-in-canal devices (RIC):<\/strong> Hearing aids with an external receiver are, by design, smaller and lighter than classic \u201cBTE hearing aids\u201d. They now account for a large proportion of fittings. The advantages are obvious: even severe hearing loss can be well treated with these discreet devices. They are significantly less noticeable and provide an open, natural wearing experience.   <\/p>\n<p><strong>In-the-ear devices (ITE):<\/strong> Hearing aids specially adapted to the shape of your ear canal. They offer the highest wearing comfort with maximum benefit. \u201cIn-the-ear models\u201d are used for mild to severe hearing loss and are available in a wide range of skin tones.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>CIC hearing systems:<\/strong> These are the smallest hearing aids. A thin nylon pull cord is attached to the hearing aid to help remove it from the ear. For easier identification, the hearing aid for the right ear is coloured red and the one for the left ear blue. However, these colours are not visible when the device is in your ear.   <\/p>\n<p><strong>Wireless hearing systems:<\/strong> Whether for TV, radio or mobile phone. With easy-to-use accessories and Bluetooth connections, your hearing systems become true all-rounders. You can understand your conversation partner comfortably with both ears, or adjust the TV sound comfortably and individually.

These can usually be remedied very easily. Acting quickly is important to avoid damage to hearing.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Causes in the middle ear:<\/strong> Inflammation, perforations of the eardrum and otosclerosis\u2014a calcification that impairs the mobility of the ossicles\u2014most commonly affect middle-ear function. Most disorders of the outer and middle ear can be treated with medication or surgery. If this is not possible, permanent hearing loss can, in most cases, be successfully compensated with hearing aids.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Causes in the inner ear:<\/strong> The majority of hearing losses affect the inner ear. The natural ageing process is the most common cause. However, severe noise exposure, taking medications that have a harmful effect on the ear, as well as head injuries can also impair hearing.  <\/p>\n<p>Such influences damage the delicate hair cells and impair the transmission of signals to the auditory nerves. As a rule, \u201cinner-ear hearing loss\u201d cannot be treated medically. However, hearing losses of this type can usually be corrected with hearing aids.  <\/p>\n<p>Hearing loss caused by a disorder of the outer or middle ear is called \u201cconductive hearing loss\u201d. Damage to the inner ear, on the other hand, is referred to as \u201csensorineural hearing loss\u201d. If both types are present at the same time, this is called \u201cmixed hearing loss\u201d. An accurate diagnosis of the cause of your hearing loss is the responsibility of your ENT specialist. <\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=&#8221;Helping those affected&#8221; icon_color=&#8221;#e02b20&#8243; use_icon_font_size=&#8221;on&#8221; icon_font_size=&#8221;26px&#8221; open_icon_color=&#8221;#e02b20&#8243; open_use_icon_font_size=&#8221;on&#8221; open_icon_font_size=&#8221;26px&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; title_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; title_level=&#8221;h3&#8243; border_radii=&#8221;on|8px|8px|8px|8px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Hearing aids provide what the brain needs.
