Hearing aids

No two people have exactly the same hearing loss. But pioneering research and development in the hearing aid industry has led to the design of a very wide selection of technologically advanced hearing aids and other hearing support systems to help people meet the challenge.

Hearing aids are available in four basic styles designed to meet most hearing needs:

CIC

Completely-in-the-Canal (CIC): The newest, smallest hearing aids, these are custom-made to fit deeply inside your ear canal so that they are practically invisible.

ITC

In-the-Canal (ITC): These are also custom-made and small enough to fit almost entirely in your ear canal. They can be hardly noticeable.

ITE

In-the-Ear (ITE): These are custom-made hearing aids made to fit within the external ear. They are the most widely recommended style.

BTE

Behind-the-Ear (BTE): These fit snugly behind the ear and are attached to a custom earpiece molded to the shape of your external ear.
