Earphones or headphones are a pair of personal sound amplifying device designed to be held in place close to the ears of the users. They enhance the hearing experience of hearing-impaired people by increasing the volume of spoken words and sounds. These hearing aids produce sound by processing the electrical signals. Earphones or headphones can be worn covering the ears, or set inside the ears, or placed in front of the ears. The main features of amplified headphones for hearing impaired include attached microphones, bluetooth, noise reduction etc. They deliver great sound and are often used to boost the sounds of radio, television or conversational voices.

Binaural headsets come in a variety of designs, out of which, over-the-ear type is most commonly used. Many models feature noise-cancellation to enhance the hearing experience of users.
Noise-cancelling headphones are designed to minimize the unwanted surrounding noise. They allow the users to listen to music without increasing the volume excessively. Noise-cancellation also helps a person to sleep in noisy environment.
Wireless headphones digitally encode audio using bluetooth technology and wirelessly transmit sound over short distances. They are great for outdoor use because they provide greater freedom of movement with fewer tangles.
Around the ear headphones go around the ears and cover them completely. The way these hearing headphones are shaped improves the sound quality. They contain pads that encircle the ears to create a soundproof room. In this way, the ambient sound is filtered out and user gets high quality sound.
Ear buds are designed to be placed on the outer area of the ear canal. They are known to block the outside noise, thereby allowing the users to hear what they actually want to hear.
Noise reduction earphones for hearing impaired completely cover the outer ear with noise reduction rating to minimize the damaging external noises. They are designed to be worn in areas where exposure to noise can be dangerous to users.
