Hearing Aids

Hearing aids can benefit most people with hearing loss, from the very mild to the most severe. Today’s advanced technology has helped millions of hearing impaired individuals lead fuller, richer lives.

Modern hearing aids can automatically handle a variety of listening situations, and can be customized for the specific needs of each individual. The hearing aid analyzes and adjusts incoming sounds millions of times per second to ensure clarity of speech, and reduce the interference of background noise. Each new generation of hearing technology takes advantage of new research and faster computing to continually evolve and improve. If the hearing loss increases over time, we can appropriately reprogram the hearing aids to accommodate those changes.

Types of Hearing Aids

The BTE places the sound processor, speakers and microphones behind the ear. It is often designed for more severe hearing impairments or when the hearing loss changes significantly from one pitch to the next.

They can be the most powerful style of aid and the advances in technology mean they are smaller and have all the latest technology so that people with severe hearing loss don’t have to compromise on features anymore.

Behind-the-Ear (BTE)

Open fit hearing aids are designed to be small, discreet and keep the ear canal unobstructed. They are appropriate for a wide variety of hearing loss and have become one of the most popular hearing aid styles due to their small size and comfort.

The other big advantage of this style is that by keeping the ear canal open the remaining natural hearing is preserved and reduces the feeling of being plugged. This results in better sound quality and the most natural listening experience.

Open Fit

This style offers good concealment with the addition of advanced features such as directional microphones and wireless capabilities. They fit primarily into the ear canal so they are not easily seen in the ear and are still appropriate for a broad range of hearing loss.

In-the-Canal (ITC)

This style is custom made to fit mainly into the bowl of the ear. Their size allows them to be fit using powerful amplifiers for more significant hearing loss. They are comfortable, easy to insert in the ear, and can be made using all of the latest technology and features in order to provide excellent hearing benefits.

In-the-Ear (ITE)

This style offers the ultimate in concealment by fitting deeply into the ear canal. Placing the instrument closer to the eardrum means less amplification is needed. They are custom made for each patient and are appropriate for mild to moderate hearing loss. Not all options are available on CIC style aids.

Completely-in-the-Canal (CIC)

Lyric is the world’s first invisible extended-wear hearing device. There are no batteries to change, no maintenance is needed and no daily insertion or removal is required.
