Why Choose Hearing Aids

Human hearing is a subjective experience for each individual. As people age and their living environments change, their hearing generally declines gradually. Especially for many elderly people in their seventies and eighties, hearing loss can reach a severe level, making it almost impossible to hear anything. They may only be able to hear if someone speaks loudly right next to their ear.

For age-related hearing loss, the best solution currently available is to wear hearing aids to help the elderly improve their hearing. As long as the hearing loss is not caused by a serious illness, hearing aids are generally the optimal solution. This raises the question, how should one choose a hearing aid?

How to Choose Hearing Aids

Many hearing aids on the market resemble Bluetooth earphones, leading many people to mistakenly believe that they are just like Bluetooth earphones, only with an added amplifier. In fact, the differences are significant. Ordinary Bluetooth earphones are designed for listening to music with normal earphones and do not consider sound reception and noise. Hearing aids, on the other hand, take into account the need for long-term wear, requiring not only higher standards for comfort but also stricter control over noise.

After all, if a hearing aid simply amplifies sound, it will also amplify environmental noise and may even produce feedback like in a karaoke setting. Such a hearing aid would not only fail to facilitate the elderly's life but could also severely impact their daily living and potentially further damage their hearing.There are many foreign-brand hearing aids on the market, with prices ranging from over a thousand to several thousand, which are quite expensive. However, this does not necessarily mean that their products are good. After all, expensive does not always mean good, but cheap certainly will not be good. That's the principle. Foreign-brand hearing aid solutions may also not be suitable for the Chinese in many cases, so domestic brand hearing aids are more suitable for the Chinese.

The Ting Shi hearing aid brand was recommended to me by a colleague. With my colleague's recommendation, I looked up a lot of information online and finally purchased the Ting Shi (TINX) TC1600 hearing aid. So, how is its effect? Let's take a look together.

Appearance

After unboxing, it comes with quite a few accessories, including an instruction manual, extra ear caps, and even a tail brush.

The appearance of the Ting Shi TC1600 hearing aid is compact and looks just like a Bluetooth headset. It is very convenient to carry and charge, and it also looks aesthetically pleasing. In this way, it is more harmonious when worn on the ear, and there will be no abrupt feeling due to the awkward shape of the hearing aid. The most important thing is that most people can't tell that it is a hearing aid. In this way, the elderly can wear it more relaxed and fashionable. If young people wear it, there will be even less pressure and no discrimination.The headphones are crafted with a high-gloss piano lacquer process, which gives them a smooth and sleek feel to the touch. With an in-ear design, they can better minimize sound loss and provide a more secure fit, reducing the likelihood of them falling out. Of course, as can be seen from the accessories, the headphones also come with an additional two pairs of ear tips in different sizes to accommodate the ears of different individuals. It also includes a skin-friendly rubber cord that can be worn around the neck, further preventing the loss of the headphones.

In terms of appearance, it indeed looks impressive, reflecting the style of a top-tier manufacturer. But what about its specifications?

Performance

The Ting Shi TC1600 hearing aid is equipped with an ultra-sensitive DPP microphone and employs array sound pickup technology, which can more accurately identify human speech, separating it from background noise to make the speech clearer.

Moreover, the internal circuit design incorporates low-frequency electrical noise, echo, and howl suppression techniques, effectively reducing noise. It cleans up all internal and external noise, preventing the buzzing noise that can affect hearing and even mood after wearing the hearing aid for extended periods.Additionally, it also features a 64-channel sound separation technology for both near and far fields, as well as an imported hearing aid quad-core DSP noise reduction chip. This allows the collected sounds to be processed by the digital chip, making the sounds more natural and authentic. Consequently, wearers can enjoy a more natural and genuine auditory experience.

Moreover, the Ting Shi TC1600 hearing aid is equipped with a dual-audio balance softening technology, which can automatically soften sharp and irritating sounds commonly encountered in daily life. Even when faced with sudden noises, there is no discomfort, such as the sounds of electric drills, machinery, or cutting.

Actual Experience

Looking at the specifications, it indeed seems impressive. But what about the actual experience? After my mother put it on, she exclaimed that it was comfortable, without any ear swelling, and especially easy and comfortable to wear for extended periods. This is very significant, as the domestic brand is specifically designed for the Chinese, and if it is not comfortable to wear, even the best hearing aid would be useless.

Additionally, the control of the hearing aid is very convenient. It does not require frequent manual adjustments but can intelligently switch between different scenarios. After all, the elderly are not naturally adept at electronic products, so intelligent operation is the most convenient.Certainly, the Ting Shi TC1600 hearing aid can also be connected to a smartphone for control through the phone. With text instructions, it is easier to understand than operating directly on the small earbuds, and it is clear at a glance.

In terms of sound, my mother exclaimed that it is very clear, whether it's watching TV, shopping on the street, or chatting and gossiping with people. With the Ting Shi TC1600 hearing aid, it's as if she has become a different person, returning to her youthful days. This device is truly a good thing, more effective than anything else.

Additionally, in terms of music listening, the performance of the Ting Shi TC1600 hearing aid is also quite impressive. Its sound is rich and delicately clear, with a balanced frequency response. After all, it is meant to reproduce the sounds of the real world, and good sound quality is a must. The sound quality of the Ting Shi TC1600 hearing aid is clearly excellent.

In conclusion, it cannot be denied that as people age, the inability to hear and see clearly does significantly affect the quality of life. The Ting Shi TC1600 hearing aid has effectively resolved the discomfort my mother experienced in her daily life, greatly enhancing her sense of happiness in her later years. It is recommended that for families with elderly people experiencing hearing loss, giving them a hearing aid like this is, in fact, the greatest care.
