Hearing aids are the medical devices which are designed to amplify the sound for an individual. It is basically an electroacoustic device. The primary aim of a hearing aid is to make speech more detectable by rectifying an impaired hearing as detected by audiometry. There are different types of hearing aid instruments, which usually differ in their size, power and circuitry. Though hearing aids are found to be very useful in case of deaf individuals but hearing aids as such are incapable of correcting a hearing loss completely. They simply act as an aid that make sounds perception more accessible for deaf individuals. As the cell loss in the primary auditory cortex region of the brain increases the degree of hearing loss also increases. This region of the brain is concerned with the processing of sound on receiving the regular stimulations. Damage to the hair cells of the inner ear also results in hearing loss which affects an individualâs ability to understand speech. It is often manifested as a decreased ability to discriminate between sounds. Scientific journal is a periodical publication intended to further progress of science, usually by reporting novel research. There are thousands of scientific journals in publication, and many more have been published at various points in the past. Most journals are highly specialized, although some of the oldest journals publish articles and scientific papers across a wide range of scientific fields. Scientific journals contain articles that are peer reviewed, to ensure that articles meet the journal's standards of quality, and scientific validity. The publication of the results of research is an essential part of the scientific method. If they are describing experiments or calculations, they must supply enough details that an independent researcher could repeat the experiment or calculation to verify the results. Each such journal article becomes part of the permanent scientific record.
