Digital Hearing Aids
Unlike traditional analog hearing aids of the past, digital hearing aids have the capabilities and flexibility of sophisticated computer systems. They are customized for each individual’s hearing loss with the end
result creating sound that is crisp and clear regardless of the environment.
Custom in-the-ear Hearing Aids
These hearing aids require taking an impression of your ear to ensure that the shell is customized to fit exactly to your ear. The computerized parts and all components are housed inside
the shell.
FULL-SHELL
This model can provide the most power with the longest battery life and can accommodate all available options by filling the entire outer ear.
HALF-SHELL
The half-shell model fills half of the outer ear and accommodates most of the available options.
CANAL
This type fills only one-third of the outer ear and typically relies on automatic volume adjustments.
COMPLETELY-IN-CANAL (CIC)
This is the smallest model that fits entirely in the ear canal. This device requires good manual dexterity to allow for removal and frequent battery replacement.
Behind-the-Ear (BTE) Hearing Aids
These devices are situated behind the ear, routing sound through a tube and an earmold. These hearing aids are used from mild to profound hearing loss.
Open Ear Devices
Setting the new standard in hearing healthcare, these devices are designed with the most advanced technology available. A small wire connects the hearing aid
to a speaker in the ear canal, allowing for more realistic sound quality, that is extremely a comfortable and aesthetically appealing at the same time. These units fit a wide range of hearing losses and are especially ideal for those with high-frequency hearing loss experiencing problems with speech clarity.
