Abstract
The conventional hearing aid has benefited from the progress made in electronic miniaturization and digital signal processing. The prescriber should be familiar with these improvements, the anatomic and acoustic limitations related to hearing aids, the possibilities of surgical rehabilitation, as well as the indications for other auditive rehabilitation techniques (bone conduction hearing, middle ear implant, and cochlear implant). A hearing aid should be prescribed within a precise context taking into account patient history, clinical examination, audiometric testing, and choice of the device. Optimal management of a hearing device for a child should be conducted within an adapted network including a specialized ENT physician, audiophonology, a qualified hearing prosthetist, a speech therapist, etc.).
