Hearing Aids, Trial & Fittings
Bte (Behind The Ear)
BTE hearing aids hook over the top of your ear and rest behind the ear. The hearing aid picks up sound, amplifies it and carries the amplified sound to an ear mould that fits inside your ear canal. This type of aid is appropriate for almost all types of hearing loss and for people of all ages.
A BTE hearing aid
- Is the largest, most visible type of hearing aid, though some new versions are smaller, streamlined and barely visible
- Is capable of more amplification than are other hearing aid styles
Receiver In Canal (Ric)
These are very small BTE-style devices. Sound travels from the instrument through a small tube or wire to a tiny dome or speaker in the ear canal. These aids leave the ear canal open, so they are best for mild to moderate high-frequency losses where low-frequency hearing is still normal or near normal.
An open-fit hearing aid
- Is less visible
- Doesn’t plug the ear as the small in-the-canal hearing aids do
- Uses very small batteries
- Lacks manual adjustments due to the small size
In the ear (ITE)
These Custom Hearing aids rest inside the Ear. They are designed using a custom mould to fit your shape and come with a twin microphone design that improves their general sound quality and amplification.
An ITE hearing aid
- Having two microphones means that they produce better sound quality. This Hearing aid works with moderate to Severe Hearing Loss.
- It’s Visible from the outside as the size is bigger as compared to CIC or ITC.
Completely in canal (CIC)
These are moulded to fit inside your ear canal and can improve mild to moderate hearing loss in adults.
A CIC hearing aid
- Is the least noticeable in the ear
- Is less likely to pick up wind noise because the ear protects the instrument
- Is easy to use with the telephone
Invisible In Canal (IIC)
IIC is pretty similar to the Completely-In-the-Canal but it is hidden deeper in the ear. It got a few downsides as you can read below. The invisible-in-the-canal hearing aids are located much deeper in the canal and they are practically invisible even if you look directly into the ear. You got this tiny nylon thread so you can pull it out.
An IIC hearing aid
- Is custom made to ensure a perfect fit
- Is a tight fit means users can better determine where sounds are coming from
- has no joined parts mean there are no hard edges
Rechargeable hearing Aid
Typically, sound processed in a hearing aid reaches the eardrum later than sound heard directly. And when these two ‘out of sync’ signals mix, you get an artificial sound.
