The decision to purchase hearing aids can
seem confusing, but we try to make it as simple as possible by giving you
the necessary information you need to make an informed decision.
Hearing aids come in different styles and circuitry. Below you will
find descriptions of the various styles available. By style, we mean
shape and size of the aid. Following that, a brief discussion is
available about differences in circuitry. Your Hearing Instrument
Specialist will discuss with you, after a complete hearing examination,
the style and circuitry best suited for your loss.
HEARING AID STYLES
|
FULL SHELL -
In the ear (ITE)
hearing aid. Fills the entire bowl of the ear. This is the most
versatile instrument style. |

|
|
HALF SHELL -
Similar to the full
shell hearing aid, but about half the size. |

|
|
CANAL AID -
In the canal (ITC)
hearing aid. Fits into the opening of the ear canal making it less
visible, yet still provides the size needed for longer battery
life. |

|
| MINI CANAL AID - This
instrument is smaller than the traditional canal aid, therefore is
designed for less severe hearing loss. |
 |
| CIC -
Completely in Canal
Hearing Aid. Hides entirely within the ear canal. This
instrument style is not appropriate for everyone and may require
more than two visits. |
 |
| INVISA-FIT
is a new open fitted BTE which uses a small locking wire to
secure it in place instead of an ear mold. Nearly invisible
and the most natural sound ever! Available in Better and Premium
Digital models.
|
 |
|
BTE -
Behind The Ear
Aid. Fits behind the ear and is attached to a custom
ear mold. This type of aid is useful for more severe hearing
loss and allows a more powerful battery to be used.
|
 |
|
HEARING AID CIRCUITRY
|
| BASIC
HEARING AID -
Class A Liner amplification
has been the standard in the industry for many years. |
|
BETTER
HEARING AID -
Class D Linear
amplification utilizes an integrated output amplifier within the
receiver. This allows for fewer components, reduced battery
drain and higher output with less distortion.
|
|
|
|
DIGITAL HEARING
AID - All our digital
hearing aids offer the most accurately reproduced sound
possible. Digital technology gives superior sound
reproduction for a quiet, crisp sound with less circuit
noise--much like the quality of CD music. Digital technology
automatically decreases background noise while increasing speech
sounds. Annoying feedback is also greatly reduced with the
digital circuitry. Power options meet the needs of mild to
severe hearing loss.
INVISA-FIT
- If you’re not hearing as well these days, but don’t like the look of those big bulky hearing aids, then the INVISA-FIT open-fit could be your little secret! Nearly invisible, even friends & family won’t notice you’re wearing it. The digital Premium INVISA-FIT is ergonomically shaped with an open-fit receiver in the ear on a thin tube for comfort and superior sound. It is easy and convenient to use with remote control operation and an adaptive directional mic system. The digital Better INVISA-FIT also fits comfortably with only a thin clear tube in your ear, leaving it open to the sounds around you.
