Hearing Aid Styles
In recent years, the hearing aid industry has experienced a remarkable technological transformation. At Next Gen Hearing Services, we're proud of our exclusive partnerships with leading brands, which allows us to offer our clients access to top-notch, comfortable, and affordable hearing aids. The variety of available options has grown significantly, and they can be generally divided into two main categories: Behind-the-Ear (BTE) and In-the-Ear (ITE) devices.
Behind-the-ear (BTE) Hearing Aids
BTE With Earmold
The BTE with Earmold provides a range of advanced features and an extended battery life. This exceptional device features a custom-shaped earmold at the end of its tubing, delivering precise sound directly to the ear canal. Its slightly larger, contoured design ensures a perfect fit and enhanced comfort. With the BTE with Earmold, users can enjoy superior auditory clarity and satisfaction.
Mini BTE
The Mini Behind-the-Ear (BTE) device is the most compact option available. Its innovative design provides a natural hearing experience with a soft tip and tubing that promote airflow while delivering amplified sounds directly into the ear. This combination ensures outstanding sound quality and optimal comfort for the user.
Receiver-In-The-Ear (RITE) Or Receiver-In-Canal (RIC)
RITE hearing aids are distinguished by their innovative design. Unlike traditional models, they feature a built-in speaker in the ear tip rather than in the device body. This design makes them highly discreet, often appearing nearly invisible to others. Similar in size to Mini BTE hearing aids, the RITE style provides a compact and unobtrusive option, delivering exceptional comfort and performance.
In-the-Ear (ITE) Hearing Aids
Invisible In-The-Canal (IIC)
Invisible-in-Canal (IIC) devices are crafted to sit deep within the ear canal, making them the smallest hearing aids on the market. Despite their compact size, they offer impressive functionality, significantly enhancing sound quality and clarity for those with hearing impairments. Their discreet design ensures an effective and unobtrusive solution for improving auditory experiences.
Completely In-The-Canal (CIC)
While slightly larger than Invisible-in-Canal (IIC) devices, Completely-in-Canal (CIC) hearing aids still offer a discreet and unobtrusive design. They are crafted to fit comfortably within the ear canal, providing a nearly invisible solution for those seeking subtle hearing assistance.
In-The-Canal (ITC) Or Half Shell
The In-the-Canal (ITC) device is perfect for those who need advanced features such as volume control, directional microphones, and extended battery life. Designed to fit comfortably in the lower part of the outer ear bowl, these discreet devices deliver a seamless user experience. Although slightly larger than Completely-in-Canal (CIC) devices, ITC devices offer enhanced functionality while still maintaining a high level of discretion.
In-The-Ear (ITE) Or Full Shell
An In-The-Ear (ITE) device is frequently recommended for individuals with more severe hearing loss. It fills the entire outer bowl of the ear, ensuring a comfortable fit. Despite its larger size, the ITE device offers advanced features such as volume controls and extended battery life, delivering a convenient and tailored hearing experience for those seeking effective solutions.
