Behind-The-Ear (BTE) instruments are appropriate for hearing losses from mild
to profound. Directional microphones, multiple listening programs and a
tele-coil for compatibility are available for these models. This style is best suited for pediatric patients and individuals with excessive moisture and accumulative cerumen (earwax). An earmold is required for these aids.
A custom In-The-Ear (ITE) hearing aid fills the outer portion of the ear and is appropriate for mild to severe hearing losses. Features can include directional microphones, multiple listening programs, and a tele-coil.
The In-The-Canal (ITC) hearing instrument is a smaller model than the full-shell ITE and is appropriate for hearing losses from mild to moderately-severe. Options are limited due to size restrictions. Good manual dexterity is mre important for this style.
The Completely-In-The-Canal (CIC) hearing aid is almost invisible. If cosmetic appeal is important, many have found this to be the best device for them. The appropriateness of this style of hearing aid is limited based on a persons degree of hearing loss and manual dexterity.
