# If they're not a hearing aid, what are they?

## Audeara Buds are designed as Personal Sound Amplification Products (PSAPs), not hearing aids.

While they can enhance your listening experience by tailoring to your unique hearing profile, they are intended for people looking to amplify and improve environmental sounds, like conversations and music.

Hearing aids, on the other hand, are medical devices specifically made for those with diagnosed hearing loss. Audeara Buds offer personalised sound amplification for general use, not as a replacement for medical-grade hearing solutions.
