Which hearing aid is best for you?
Modern technology means your hearing aids are as unique as you. When choosing your hearing aids, we will discuss some important factors such as cost, ease of insertion, and daily care.
The two most common types of hearing aids are worn in-the-ear (ITE) or behind-the-ear (BTE).
The two most common types of hearing aids are worn in-the-ear (ITE) or behind-the-ear (BTE).
In-the-ear (ITE)
These sit directly in the ear canal opening. Suitable for mild to moderate hearing loss, some of these hearing aids are custom-fit to your ear canal using a special mold. There is also a completely-in-canal (CIC) which sits deeply in your ear canal making it almost invisible.
Behind-the-ear (BTE)
These come in three types: a standard BTE with the receiver behind the ear, a receiver-in-the-ear (RITE), and a receiver-in-canal (RIC). BTE hearing aids are suitable for most types of hearing loss.
Choosing your hearing aid
When choosing hearing aids, and the technology level best suited to your personal goals, it’s important to take a few items into consideration. The most important of those being, where will you be using your hearing aid? If you think about your daily routine you will know the listening environments you are in the most – both at work and at home.
Modern technology means there are apps and accessories available for seamless connectivity to your phone, TV, and many other devices. Hearing aids can also now be programmed to adapt to your environment. You will soon be able to hear sounds like children’s voices and birds singing all while reducing unwanted background noise.
Style
As you likely already know, hearing aids come in various sizes, styles, and colours. They can be hidden discreetly or used as a colourful fashion accessory. You should also consider your eyesight and fine motor skills since the smaller the hearing aid, the smaller the buttons and batteries.
