Key Characteristics
- It is positioned behind the ear with a thin tube connecting to a small dome in the ear canal.
- Allows low-frequency sounds to pass through unamplified.
- Provides a natural sound experience compared to traditional hearing aids.
- Significantly smaller and less visible than behind-the-ear models.
How It Works
The device receives sound through a microphone, converts sound waves into amplified electrical signals, and transmits them down the ear canal to a speaker near the eardrum. That amplification creates a more comfortable listening experience and improves communication.
Advantages
- Natural Sound Quality: Positioned close to the eardrum, allowing for more natural sound delivery.
- Minimal Occlusion Effect: Lessens the sensation of one's voice sounding too loud or "plugged."
- Discreet Appearance: These nearly invisible hearing aids are designed to make an attractive choice for those concerned about the visibility of hearing aids.
- Comfortable Fit: For extended wear.
