Hearing Aids
Choosing the appropriate hearing aids are the beginning of your hearing healthcare journey. Hearing devices are an investment in your health. Today’s hearing aids use nano technology to deliver more precise and natural hearing results for patients. They are smaller, more powerful, more flexible and produce better sound than ever before. Western Hearing Aid Center offers a variety of hearing solutions to fit both your lifestyle and financial needs. If you are considering your options, or you’ve been thinking about upgrading your hearing aids, we encourage you to come check out the newest hearing technology for yourself. You can choose from a number of different styles, including: hearing aids completely in the ear canal, to those located on top of or behind the ear.
Whatever your choice, you will be able to enjoy the wonderful sounds you’ve been missing.
Hearing Aids Styles
Behind the Ear (BTE)
These are among the most common and traditional hearing aid style. This device rests behind or on top of your outer ear. A custom earmold secures the transparent rubber tube to the ear. The tube feeds amplified sound from the device’s speaker directly to the ear canal.
In the Canal Hearing Aid (ITC)
This is a custom made discrete hearing aid. Because it is made to fit the ear, it is easy to insert and comfortable to wear. Most incorporate advanced features like wireless Bluetooth streaming, directional microphones, and remote control, unlike the some of the smaller CIC and IIC models. It can also accommodate a larger battery for longer battery life.
Completely in the Canal Hearing Aid (CIC)
This hearing aide provides an excellent nearly invisible option. This hearing aid is powerful enough for severe hearing loss and many are able accommodate a wireless antenna allowing for Bluetooth streaming and remote control function. With the smaller size does come a smaller battery and no room for directional microphones, which means that noisy environments may be more difficult.
Invisible in the Canal Hearing Aids (IIC)
This hearing aid fits deep in the ear canal, mere millimeters from the eardrum allowing for for crisp, clear, natural sound quality with less amplifier output, meaning better battery life. Its’ small size 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. When the ear canal is large enough, IIC hearing aids can be made with a wireless antenna for remote control or Bluetooth integration.
In the Ear Hearing Aids (IIC)
This hearing aid offers flexibility that other hearing aids do not, a larger sound amplifier, direct access to handle and control your sound and most in-the-ear (ITE) hearing aids include a telephone switch and directional microphone.
Microphone & Receiver-In-Ear
GN ReSound introduces the world’s first full-featured hearing aid with M&RIE (Microphone & Receiver-In-Ear) for a truly individualized, more complete sound experience. It uses your own ears to deliver sound.
