What are "hearing aids"?

Hearing aids are devices that help to amplify sound and transmit it to the ear. Usually, hearing aids are composed of a microphone and an amplifier, and they're commonly used by patients who have some form of deafness that was acquired in their life. Most patients who are congenitally deaf use sign language to communicate.
