The occlusion effect can be quite distracting, especially for those suffering lower level hearing loss. The occlusion effect sounds and feels similar to listening to yourself talk while you’ve got your fingers stuck in your ears. The occlusion effect is the uncomfortable experience of hollow or booming-like sounds from a hearing aid wearer’s own voice.
The purpose of the hearing aid dome is to overcome that occlusion to provide hearing aid users with better sound quality than ever before.
The earmolds of hearing aids can cause sound to be occluded or impeded, also called the occlusion effect. One feature that affects the design of hearing aids, their fit and the perception of sound is hearing aid domes.In a behind-the-ear (BTE) model of hearing aids, sound is delivered into the ear canal using a custom-made earmold, foam tip or silicone dome.
Hearing devices have become increasingly smaller and more effective at delivering sound. The search for the best way to technologically deliver sound directly to the inner ear of a person who suffers hearing loss is always being advanced.
