Hearing Aid
A hearing aid is a small electronic device that you wear inside or behind your ear. It makes some sounds louder. A hearing aid can help people with hearing loss hear well in both quiet and noisy situations.
Hearing aids help people who have hearing loss from damage to the small sensory cells in the inner ear. The damage can occur as a result of disease, aging, or injury from noise or certain medicines. Only about one out of five people who would benefit from a hearing aid actually uses one. If you think a hearing aid could help you, visit your doctor.
There are different kinds of hearing aids. They differ by size, their placement on or inside the ear, and how much they amplify sound. The hearing aid that will work best for you depends on what kind of hearing loss you have, and how severe it is.
There are two types of hearing aids technologies.
DIGITAL HEARING AIDS
Digital hearing instruments represent the most advanced technology available today. These instruments actually contain a computer chip (DSP) that is programmed by a computer this offers the best way currently available to particular hearing loss complete flexibility and amazing fine tuning capability are among the many benefits. This unique technology separates the incoming sound into bands and channels and processes each band and channel independently, this class of hearing instruments utilize separate circuits path to independent process different frequency regions of the most advanced technology that allows the most precise prescriptive fitting available today.
PROGRAMMABLE HEARING AIDS
Programmable hearing instruments represent a more advanced technology than conventional aids these instruments are programmed by a computer allowing a better way to accommodate a given amplification needs thus allowing greater flexibility and fine tuning capability, most of the hearing aids in these types of instruments are basically analogue conventional circuits that are set and controlled by a computer. They are priced higher than conventional aids.

Behind-the-Ear (BTE) hearing aids are among the most common and traditional styles. The device rests behind or on top of your outer ear, similar to the way sunglasses sit. A transparent rubber tube feeds amplified sound from the device’s speaker directly to the ear canal. A custom earmold secures the tubing to the ear. Want it for yourself or for someone else?

Receiver-in-the-ear (RIC) aids are far and away the most popular hearing aids. Their comfortable fit and superior sound quality make it a top choice for individuals with mild to severe hearing loss. Like most behind-the-ear styles, RIC hearing aids gently rest atop or just behind the ear. The receiver bud sits directly inside the ear canal. A thin wire connects the receiver to the outer components and moulds easily to the natural shape of the ear. Want it for yourself or for someone else?

Completely-in-the-Canal hearing aids (CIC) are very popular among those whose goal is near-complete invisibility. With recent advances in circuit reduction technology, it is now possible to make a hearing aid powerful enough for a severe hearing loss in a CIC style, allowing even those with significant hearing impairment to wear hearing aids that almost nobody will notice. When cosmetics are the driving force and the ear canal is not large enough for an IIC, for many people a CIC is the perfect solution. Want it for yourself or for someone else?

$10.00An Invisible in the Canal or IIC hearing aid, true to its name, is invisible. It sits very deeply in the ear canal, mere millimetres from the eardrum. This close proximity to the eardrum allows for clear, natural sound quality with less amplifier output, meaning improved battery life. This is important because the small size of the device does not allow for a large battery or controls. IIC hearing aids need to be automatic because you can’t adjust them, which means they are only available in higher end circuitry, IIC hearing aids come with the one feature that the majority of hearing aid wearers, especially new wearers, put at the top of their list: Nobody will know you’ve got it.

An In-the-Canal hearing aid (ITC) is a discreet, custom made hearing aid. Because it is made to fit, it is very comfortable and easy to insert in the ear. It can also accommodate a larger battery for longer battery life. For many people, an ITC hearing aid is a good compromise between cosmetics and functions. Want it for yourself or for someone else?

When you need flexibility, the in-the-ear (ITE) hearing aid outshines most other hearing aids available. In-the-ear (ITE) hearing aids can accommodate almost all hearing aid candidates. These devices provide a variety of vital features required by many struggling with hearing loss. Some of the benefits include: Larger sound: In-the-ear (ITE) hearing aids have a larger sound amplifier that provides a full sound directly into the ear canal. Maximum control: The large size is ideal for those with arthritis that want to control their sound input. If you prefer to have direct access to handle and adjust your sound, in-the-ear (ITE) aids may be the best choice for you. Special features: Most in-the-ear (ITE) hearing aids include a telephone switch and directional microphone. Want it for yourself or for someone else?
