Here are some of the hearing
products we recommend.
Completely
in the-canal (CIC)
CICs are the smallest hearing
aid type and are almost invisible in the ear. All components
are housed in a small case that fits far into the ear
canal. This takes advantage of the ear's own natural
sound?collecting design and offers convenient telephone
usage. CICs are restricted to persons with ear canals
large enough to accommodate the insertion depth of the
instrument into the ear. This type of hearing aid is
not suitable for persons with severe hearing losses.

|
In
the Canal Hearing Instruments (ITC)
A bit larger than the CIC, the
ITC hearing aids also fit far into the ear canal. Canal
hearing aids use a slightly larger battery than the
CIC style. This style is used for mild to moderate hearing
losses. |
|
In
the Ear Hearing Instruments (ITE)
These hearing aids can be used
for a wider range of hearing losses. Due to their size,
ITEs can allow for larger sound amplifiers and more
features such as a telephone switch. They are also much
easier to handle. |
|
Behind
the Ear Hearing instruments (BTE)
In BTE hearing aids, the electronics
are housed in a case that fits behind the ear. Tubing
and a custom made earmold direct the sound to the ear
canal. BTE hearing aids can provide more amplification
than smaller devices due to the stronger amplifier and
the larger battery. This style is available in several
colours for hair and skin tone matching. |
