• Receiver-in-Canal Aids

  These aids look similar to the behind-the-ear hearing aid with a unique difference — the speaker of the hearing aid is placed inside the ear canal, and a thin electrical wire replaces the acoustic tube of the BTE aid. These aids also offer cosmetic and listening advantages for many adults. These can be utilized as open fit technology.

• In-the-Ear (ITE) Aids

  All parts of the ITE aid are contained in a custom shell that fits in the outer part of the ear canal. These aids are larger than canal aids and, for some people, may be easier to handle than smaller hearing aids.

• Invisible-in-Canal (ILC), In-the-Canal (ITC) and Completely-in-the-Canal (CIC) Aids

  These aids are contained in a tiny case that is custom fit partly or completely into the ear canal. They are the smallest aids available and offer some cosmetic and listening advantages. Our audiologists can determine if you are a good candidate for invisible-in-canal, in-the-canal, or completely-in-the-canal technology.

• Behind-the-Ear Open-Fit

  Open-fit technology keeps the ears open to sound, rather than plugging up the ear with the hearing aid. The pitches that you don’t need amplified travel normally through the ear canal, remaining natural and comfortable, while the pitches at which you have hearing loss are amplified. With an open fitting, sounds at the eardrum arrive directly from both the open ear and the hearing instrument.

• Extended-Wear Hearing Aids

  These hearing aids fit deep in the ear canal, and are designed to be worn continuously, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for several months at a time. You can wear the device during daily activities, like exercising, showering, talking on the phone, and sleeping. These hearing aids are purchased on a yearly subscription basis. The audiologist replaces the device(s) in the clinic approximately every 120 days. This removes the need to change batteries and perform daily maintenance. The ideal extended-wear candidate is an individual with mild to moderate hearing loss who enjoys an active lifestyle. Our audiologists can determine whether you are a good candidate for extended-wear hearing aids.

• Behind-the-Ear (BTE) Aids

  All parts of the BTE aid are contained in a small plastic case that rests behind the ear. The case is connected to an earmold by a piece of clear tubing.
