Feedback happens as a delayed repetition of the original sound which then creates an undesirable sound effect that can interfere with clear hearing. While Mimitakara hearing aids are designed to reduce echo and feedback, certain factors can still contribute to its occurrence.

Factors contributing to feedback

• Room’s acoustics: The physical characteristics of a room, such as its size, shape, and the materials used in its construction, can significantly influence the propagation of sound. Hard surfaces like walls, floors, and ceilings can reflect sound waves, leading to feedback. In environments with poor acoustics, hearing aids may inadvertently pick up these reflected sounds and amplify them, resulting in feedback.

• Feedback loop: Feedback occurs when sound from the hearing aid’s speaker is picked up by its microphone and preamplifier, creating a loop of continuous sound. This can happen when the microphone and speaker are in close proximity, often exacerbated by the shape and fit of the hearing aid in the ear canal.

• Improper fitting: An improperly fitted hearing aid can allow external sounds to leak into the ear canal, potentially causing feedback. Additionally, an improperly fitted hearing aid might not effectively block out external noises, leading to a mix of direct and reflected sounds that contribute to the echo effect.

Ways to Mimitakara minimizes echo noise:

• Advanced signal processing: Mimitakara hearing aids are equipped with sophisticated signal processing algorithms that can identify and suppress the majority of the echo noise. The algorithms work by differentiating between the original sound source and echos, effectively reducing their impact on the user’s hearing experience.

• Directional microphones: Some Mimitakara hearings aids are designed to focus on sounds coming from a specific direction, while minimizing sounds from other directions. This can help mitigate the amplification of the reelected sounds, reducing the occurrence of feedback.

• Proper fitting and maintenance: Ensuring that hearing aids fits correctly and is well maintained can go a long way in preventing feedback. Regular cleaning, inspection and adjustments by a professional can help maintain optimal hearing aid performance.
