BTE (Behind-the-Ear) hearing aid style

BTE (Behind-the-Ear)

Although behind-the-ear hearing aids are a larger style, they can accommodate more features and have a longer battery life than other styles. The sound is guided directly to the ear canal using a specially formed earmold at the end of a tube.

Receiver-In-The-Canal hearing aid style

Receiver-In-The-Canal

This open-fit style hearing aid has a thin plastic tube that runs across the outside ear and into the ear canal from the body of the hearing aid without sealing the ear canal. Smaller than a behind-the-ear style, it is easy to operate and has a range of available features.

In-the-Ear (ITE) Hearing Aid Style

In-The-Ear

In-the-ear hearing aids are custom fit to a person’s outer ear and are a good option for those who prefer to manually adjust their hearing aids rather than use a remote or app. This style comes in a range of skin tone colors and is recommended for those with a moderate to severe hearing loss.

Completely-in-Canal (CIC) Hearing AId Style

Completely-In-The-Canal

This style fits inside the ear canal, with only the top of the hearing aid or a small plastic tail visible, making them very discreet. The CIC hearing aid style is recommended for those with a mild to moderate hearing loss.

Invisible-in-Canal (IIC) Hearing Aid Style

Invisible-In-The-Canal

The least visible of all hearing aid styles, the invisible-in-the-canal style fits deep in the ear canal, making it hardly noticeable. This option is recommended for those with a mild to moderate loss of hearing.

How do hearing aids work?

Hearing aids amplify external sounds using a microphone, amplifier, and speaker to stimulate the hearing nerve and enhance the hearing ability of users. Hearing aids cannot cure hearing loss, but can help preserve and extend the natural hearing function.

How do I buy hearing aids?

If you have mild hearing loss, it is possible to buy a hearing aid over the counter. However, there are many causes, types and degrees of hearing loss, so it is recommended that you work with an audiologist to find the best hearing aid solution for your unique needs and situation.

Where do I find hearing aids near me?

What hearing aids are best?

Hearing aids vary in functionality, shape, color and price. To find the best hearing aid for your needs, it is important to work with a hearing specialist and review all your options.

What if I already have hearing aids?

Hearing aids typically last between three and seven years. During that time, it is possible for a person’s hearing to change or deteriorate, depending on the cause of their hearing loss. It is important to get regular hearing assessments and work with an audiologist to make sure you are using the appropriate hearing aid and getting the most out of your device.
