The Audiologist will ensure your hearing needs are being met and that you are receiving the maximum benefit from your hearing devices.

Behind-The-Ear (BTE)
hearing aids consist of a hard plastic case worn behind the ear, connected to a separate ear mould or thin tube and a soft silicone dome or mould that fits inside the outer ear and directs sound into the ear canal. Parts are held in the case behind the ear. Behind-The-Ear hearing aids can be the most powerful and often are the easiest type to adjust.

Open Fit
hearing aids are very small Behind-The-Ear style devices connected to a thin sound tube and dome or small mould. This style allows the ear canal to be as open as possible facilitating a more natural sound and reducing the occlusion effect (blocked up feeling).
The Open Fit is recommended when the hearing is normal or mild in the low frequencies.

Receiver-In-The-Ear (RITE/RIC)
A combination of BTE and ITE. The main components of the system sit behind the ear and looks like a BTE.
The receiver (speaker) sits in the ear canal at the end of the sound tube allowing for the BTE component to be smaller.

Lyric
the world’s first 100% invisible extended wear hearing device. It is comfortably placed deep in the ear canal, delivering exceptional sound quality by working with your ear’s natural anatomy. Lyric can be worn 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for months at a time. It is soft, comes in different sizes, and conforms comfortably to your ear canal.

Deep Fit CIC/IIC
hearing aids are the smallest Completely-In-The-Canal (CIC) hearing aids also called Invisible-In-The-Canal (IIC), which are placed in the bony part of the outer ear canal allowing for the most discreet style of hearing aid currently on the market. The deep fit CIC will help mild to moderate hearing losses.

Completely-In-The-Canal (CIC)
hearing aids are custom made to fit inside your ear canal and can assist mild to moderate hearing loss in adults. Though these hearing aids are the smallest and least visible of the available styles, they do offer limited features and controls compared to other styles.

In The Ear (ITE/ITC)
hearing aids fit completely inside the outer ear and are used for mild to severe hearing loss.
