DIGITAL technology is the most sophisticated hearing aid technology. Digital technology gives the audiologist maximum control over sound quality and sound processing characteristics.  A variety of levels of digital technology, styles, and manufacturers are available based upon the patients' hearing loss, as well as their financial means and desires.  Hearing instruments are much more discrete than in the past.  There are options with blue tooth compatibility which allow patients' hearing instruments to connect with cell phones, landline phones, IPODs, MP3 players, and televisions resulting in a whole new world of sound and hearing.

Hearing Aids





Open RITE:
Open Receiver-In-The-Ear hearing aids use tiny casing and a nearly invisible slim tube. Open fittings offer a cosmetically apppealing option. They are lightweight and tiny, with a transparent dome that makes them less noticeable than aids with custom earmolds.



BTE:
Behind-The-Ear hearing aids have the most circuit options and typically have more power than any of the custom made in-the-ear aids. BTEs "sit" on the back of your ear. They are connected to custom-made earmolds. These aids can now be fitted with an invisible slim tube instead of the plastic tubing.



ITE: In-The-Ear hearing aids are more visible and the easiest to handle of the custom made aids. They have a longer battery life than completely-in-the-canal aids.




ITC: In-The-Canal hearing aids are slightly more visible than ITEs. They require good dexterity to control the volume wheels and other controls on the faceplate.


CIC: Completely-In-the-Canal hearing aids are one of the more cosmetically appealing custom made aids. They usually require a "removal string" due to their small size and their deep fit into the ear canal. CICs do not usually have manual controls because they are too small. CIC hearing aids have the shortest battery life.
