Types of Hearing Aids
Four styles of hearing aids are currently available. Three types are worn in the ear: Completely-in-the-Canal (CIC), In-the-Canal (ITC), and In-the-Ear (ITE); and Behind-the-Ear (BTE).
In CIC, ITC and ITE hearing aids, the receiver, microphone and amplifier are contained in a shell which is worn in the ear. Completely-in-the Canal aids are the newest and smallest model available. They fit deep inside your ear canal so that they're practically invisible. In-the-Canal aids are small enough to fit almost entirely in your ear canal, making them hardly noticeable. In-the-Ear aids fit within your outer ear and are the most widely recommended hearing aid style.
We offer a wide selection of these custom-made hearing aids, including a variety of sizes and circuit options.
MAdvantages of CIC, ITC and ITE aids:
We offer a comprehensive range of BTE hearing aids in a variety of circuit options. Our wide selection of amplifier types and parameters allows us to optimally meet your amplification needs.
