Hearing amplifiers are devices that can be used to amplify sound for people with hearing loss. They are not a substitute for hearing aids, which are regulated medical devices that can only be fitted by a licensed hearing professional. However, hearing amplifiers can be a more affordable option for people with mild hearing loss.


There are two main types of hearing amplifiers:

Personal sound amplification products (PSAPs) are small, over-the-counter devices that can be purchased without a prescription. They are typically worn in the ear canal and amplify all sounds, including background noise.
Assistive listening devices (ALDs) are a broader category of devices that can help people with hearing loss hear better in specific situations, such as watching television or listening to a lecture. Some ALDs work by amplifying sound, while others use different technologies,

such as frequency modulation (FM).
