How Does ADHEAR Work?

ADHEAR is designed for people with conductive hearing loss. With this type of hearing loss, the outer or middle ear is damaged, which stops sounds from reaching the inner ear. But ADHEAR lets you hear without using your outer and middle ears. Instead, ADHEAR gently vibrates the bone behind your ear to send sound directly to your inner ear, giving you natural sound quality.

In addition, ADHEAR can also be used as a solution for single-sided deafness, to send sound from your non-hearing side round to your “good side”.

Each ADHEAR system has two parts: the adhesive adapter and the audio processor. The thin adhesive adapter sticks to the skin just behind your ear, where you don’t have any hair. The audio processor clicks onto this adapter. Its microphones pick up the sounds around you, and then it vibrates the adapter to send these sounds to your inner ear. Both parts of ADHEAR are discreet to wear, and can be easily hidden under your hair.
