Advanced Hearing Aid Technology

TYPES OF HEARING AIDS

In The Ear (ITE) Hearing Aids

These advanced hearing aids are worn in the ear and, hence, are custom-made, using the measurements of the ear taken by us at the time of consultation. This advanced hearing aid technology comes in half shell designs that cover half the bowl of the outer ear as well as fill almost the entire outer bowl. The size makes it optimal for people with low dexterity, and it also accommodates additional features like volume control and program buttons.

They are available in the following styles:

Advanced Hearing Aid: Invisible In the Canal (IIC)

This is the tiniest hearing aid made, and is fitted deeply in the ear canal. Due to the small size, it does not have manual controls like volume or program buttons. It is practically invisible when worn. Due to the positioning, it is prone to damage caused by ear wax and moisture.

Advanced Hearing Aid: Completely In the Canal

Very similar to Invisible In The Canal, this Invisible hearing aid is also fitted inside the ear canal and is practically invisible when worn. Devoid of any manual controls and being tiny in size, it is recommended for people with high dexterity, and mild or moderate hearing loss.

Advanced Hearing Aid: In The Canal (ITC)

This hearing aid is worn in the lower portion of the outer ear and is slightly larger than the IIC and CIC. It is suitable for a wide range of hearing loss and has a longer battery life as well. Due to its bigger size, it accommodates volume controls and directional microphones.

Behind The Ear (BTE) Advanced Hearing Aid Technology

These advanced hearing aids are worn behind or on top of the ear, along with a thin tube that sends the sound into the ear canal. The earmould or ear-tip for this is custom-made, to ensure they do not block the entire ear canal.

They are available in the following styles:

Mini BTE

This hearing aid is designed to sit behind the outer ear, while a thin tube directs sound into the ear from the tip. It is recommended for mild to moderate high frequency hearing loss. Due to its design, it allows for natural airflow, while the sound enters the ear from the tip.

Receiver In the Canal (RIC)

With this advanced hearing aid technology, the speaker is directly built into the ear tip, without being attached to the hearing aid body. It is connected by a thin wire to the microphone and processor that sit behind the ear. In case of any malfunction due to ear wax or moisture, the ear tip can be easily replaced at our hearing aid centre itself.

BTE with Earmould

This hearing aid can be designed to fit all types of hearing loss, from mild to profound. Due to the longer shape, it accommodates more features for volume control, program control, and power, than any other style of hearing aid. This is custom-made earmould and is less prone to damage caused by ear wax and moisture. It is commonly recommended for children, as the earmould can be replaced as the child grows and can be reprogrammed as required.
