You can.

Meanwhile, the use of hearing aids is increasing due to hearing loss caused by excessive use of earphones or the rapid increase in the population with hearing loss due to aging.

However, it is known that even if hearing aids are worn at the appropriate time, many users do not see proper results due to inconvenience during use.

In particular, the inconvenience that hearing aid wearers often complain about is not feeling the improvement in speech discrimination due to echo or noise. This inconvenience is mostly due to wearing a product that is not suitable for the hearing condition, or due to the adaptation process, standardized fitting, or hearing loss. This is a case where a systematic, personalized hearing solution process, including training and follow-up care, has not been received.

Therefore, in order to achieve the effect of improving hearing by using a hearing aid, there is a need to select a hearing aid tailored to each individual's hearing. Furthermore, as the age group of the hearing loss population diversifies, the external design ranges from ultra-small to earring type depending on the purpose of use and living environment. should be taken into consideration, and in particular, most young and middle-aged people tend to prefer discreet, ultra-small hearing aids in consideration of their social life, so there is a need to develop a hearing aid system that can reflect this.
