Mini Behind The Ear (BTE)

Suitable for every type of hearing loss from mild to severe. The ear mould is custom made to fit your ear shape and the main components are housed externally.

Companies manufacturing this style of aid have made significant improvements in recent years by decreasing the size whilst maintaining the quality of sound.

In The Ear (ITE)

This style is suitable for most degrees of hearing loss. The aid is larger and so slightly easier to use than the smaller styles but cosmetically they may be more apparent.

These hearing aids fit comfortably and securely in the ear. Clients report that they can be more comfortable than most ‘Behind-The-Ear’ (BTE) aids.

Open Ear (RIC)

These types of aids are suitable for mild to moderate hearing loses. This is the most popular style of hearing aid on the market. They are lightweight and leave the ear open. Users often forget they are wearing them.

These devices are very discreet as they sit on top of the ear under your hair with thin tubing going directly into the ear canal.

Mini Canal & CIC

This hearing aid is suitable for mild to moderate hearing loss. It is a custom made device that is only really visible to others close up.

CIC aids are the smallest hearing aid style with the best cosmetic attributes – they are the least visible.

Battery life is rather short because the batteries are so small. The size of the aid can make the instrument tricky to handle.

Power BTE

Power Hearing Aids. For the profound hearing loss, power with noise control and all the benefits of digital aids are now available.
