If
you have hearing loss, you might
need only one small hearing aid
to bring back the beautiful sounds
of life. |
Today's technology is significantly
more advanced than even a year ago.
Now, digital hearing instruments can actually
"read" the volume level
in a room and automatically increase
or decrease the amplification based
on your personal needs.

we work with most major hearing
instrument manufactures to fit the best
product available to match your
hearing needs. We offer some of the LOWEST

CIC's
(Completely-In-the-Canal)
are the smallest hearing aid type
and are almost invisible in the
ear. All components are housed in
a small case that fits far into
the ear canal. This takes advantage
of the ear's own natural sound-collecting
design and offers convenient telephone
usage. This
style is used for mild to severe
hearing losses.
|
|
A bit larger than the CIC, the
ITC (In-The-Canal)
hearing instruments also fit far into the
ear canal. Canal hearing aids use
a slightly larger battery than the
CIC style. This
style is used for mild to severe
hearing losses.
|
|
The larger ITE
(In-The-Ear)
hearing instruments can be used for a wider
range of hearing losses. Due to
their size, they can allow for larger
sound amplifiers and more features,
such as a telephone switch. They
are often much easier to handle
than the CIC and ITC. This
style is used for moderate to profound
hearing losses.
|
|
With BTE
(Behind-The-Ear)
hearing instruments, electronics are housed
within a case that fits behind the
ear. Tubing and a custom made earmold
direct the sound to the ear canal.
BTE hearing instruments have a stronger
amplifier and larger battery than
smaller styles.
This style is used for mild
to profound hearing losses and is
available in several colors, for
hair and skin tone matching.
