Understanding Your Hearing
The science of how we listen.
Sound is one of life's most intimate pleasures. Understanding how it reaches us — and where it can falter — is the first step toward hearing the world fully again.
The Anatomy
Three types of hearing loss.
Knowing where hearing loss originates makes it easier to understand why a particular solution works — and why H•earrings are designed the way they are.
01 Sensorineural
Occurs in the inner ear (cochlea), where microscopic hair cells called stereocilia can be damaged by noise, illness, or aging — interrupting the signal sent to the brain.
02 Conductive
Originates in the middle ear — a perforated drum, stiffening ossicles, or a blocked canal can prevent sound from passing through cleanly.
03 Mixed
A combination of sensorineural and conductive hearing loss, often requiring a more nuanced approach to amplification.
Are They For You?
Designed for mild to moderate hearing loss.
H•earrings are tuned for the range where most people first notice a change — and first consider getting help. An adjustable boost in sound restores the joy of everyday interactions and tasks.
25–40 dB
Mild loss
40–55 dB
Moderate loss
If you fall in this range, H•earrings may be the elegant, effortless solution you have been searching for.
Open-Ear Concept
A natural sound boost — never plugged in.
One of the most important features of the H•earrings Cuffs is that the ear remains open while the device is worn. This single principle is what makes daily wear so easy and comfortable.
Environmental sounds enter the ear unimpeded while amplified sound is gently blended in — for a crisp, clear hearing experience without the echo or "plugged" sensation common to many over-the-counter hearing aids.

"So comfortable — I forgot I was wearing them."
