Hearing Aids
In short: hearing aids help you hear better if you experience hearing loss. Regardless of the style and model, hearing aids consist of similar elements. Inside each hearing aid is a computer chip that helps with processing and amplifying sound, a battery that powers the device, and a speaker that sends amplified, processed sound to your ear.
BTE hearing aids consist of two main parts: a plastic casing that sits on top of your outer hear and houses the hearing aid’s electronical components, and a tube that connects to a custom ear mold that rests inside your ear canal. BTE hearing aids treat moderate to severe hearing loss and are prized for their flexibility and ease of use. BTE hearing aids come in a number of sizes, with many manufacturers now offering miniBTE devices.
RITE/RIC hearing aids resemble BTE hearing aids in appearance, with the speaker resting in the ear canal, connected to the electronic components through a thin tube.
ITE hearing aids rest – as they are named – inside your ear bowl. Half shell and full shell models are available. ITE hearing aids provide a longer battery life and can treat a wider range of degrees of hearing loss. They are more visible than other hearing aid styles and are often the choice of people who wear glasses.
CIC and IIC hearing aids are prized for their discrete aesthetic – often times, they are not noticeable at all when they are worn. In some cases, CIC or IIC hearing aids may have to be inserted by a hearing professional, as they are placed deep inside the ear canal. While they are discreet, CIC and IIC hearing aids tend to treat lower degrees of hearing loss and may not be suitable for more severe cases.
