Hearing-Aids

Four styles of hearing aids are currently available. Three types are worn in the ear: Completely-in-the-Canal (CIC), In-the-Canal (ITC), In-the-Ear (ITE), and Behind-the-Ear (BTE).


In CIC, ITC and ITE hearing aids, the receiver, microphone and amplifier are contained in a shell which is worn in the ear. Completely-in-the Canal aids are the newest and smallest model available. They fit deep inside your ear canal so that they're practically invisible. In-the-Canal aids are small enough to fit almost entirely in your ear canal, making them hardly noticeable. In-the-Ear aids fit within your outer ear and are the most widely recommended hearing aid style.

We offer a wide selection of these custom-made hearing aids, including a variety of sizes and circuit options.

Advantages of CIC, ITC and ITE aids:

• Inconspicuous and comfortable: invisible to hardly visible when worn, ideal for use during sports activities, exercise and at work.
• Good directional hearing

In BTE hearing aids, the receiver, microphone and amplifier are contained in a unit which is worn behind the ear. The sound is carried from the receiver (loudspeaker) via the ear hook and a flexible plastic tube, to the earmold that is worn in the ear canal.

We offer a comprehensive range of BTE hearing aids in a variety of circuit options. Our wide selection of amplifier types and parameters allows us to optimally meet your amplification needs.

Advantages of a BTE aid:

• Versatile: a wide range of applications ranging from mild to severe hearing loss
• Easy to handle: easy battery replacement, easy to use
• Very comfortable to wear fits securely behind the ear
• Good directional hearing
