Today modern hearing instruments is a complex piece of technology, but the basic functions is simple as follows:

• The amplifier increases the strength of the electrical signal
• From the amplifier the signal is channelled into the ear canal, either through a small tube or through an ear mold

Some hearing instruments comes with a user control, which enables the user to adjust the hearing aid parameters:
