A Variety of Prescription Hearing Aid Styles To Choose From
Arnold Hearing Centres makes it possible for you to choose from a wide range of technology and a host of available features from brand name manufacturers like Starkey, Bernafon, Phonak, and more. Thanks to innovations in micro-digital and material technology, today’s hearing aids come in a variety of different sizes and colours to meet lifestyle and personal preferences.
In-The-Canal (ITC)
ITC hearing aids are smaller versions of ITE devices with many of the same benefits as ITE devices. They are custom-molded to fit farther into the ear canal rather than take up the larger outer ear area.
ITC devices allow you to be a bit more active because of their snug fit while offering more wearing discretion. Individuals with all types of treatable hearing loss can benefit from this style, which includes the capacity to customize external controls to fit your needs.
Completely-In-The-Canal (CIC)
Going deeper, CIC devices are a bit smaller than ITC devices, making them subtle, comfortable, and discrete. They use a tiny clear plastic post for placement and removal, which requires some fine-dexterity but are ideal for activity-filled days with friends and family.
In addition, the deeper fit helps reduce wind interference for more natural hearing and greater clarity. People with mild to Moderate levels of treatable hearing loss can take advantage of these super discrete hearing instruments.
In-the-Ear
ITE instruments place BTE and RITE technology inside a hard plastic shell, molded to the unique contours of your outer ear canal. Full-shell in-the-ear technology produces powerful, clear sound for all degrees of treatable hearing loss and is a good choice for individuals who wear glasses or use an oxygen cannula.
Because they are larger, they are easy to adjust, come with larger rechargeable batteries, and feature device connectivity. A variety of sizes, colour options, and customizable controls are features of ITE devices
Receiver-In-Canal (RIC)
Mini BTEs fit behind the ear just like BTE units but use ultra-thin tubing to discreetly route sound into the ear. The so tip at the end of the tubing sits in the ear canal but doesn’t occlude it, producing a more natural, open feeling as airflow and sound enter the ear naturally around the tip, while amplified sound enters through the tip.
Invisible-In-The-Canal (IIC)
Custom molded for a snug fit near the second bend of the ear canal, IIC hearing aids are 100% invisible, digital, and fully programmable. They pack clarity and power into the tiniest of packages for the highest level of discretion and fit the most active lifestyles.
The most advanced sound-processing and noise-reduction technology with automatic environment adjustment are features of these devices. Individuals with mild to moderate degrees of hearing loss qualify for this style of device.
Behind-The-Ear (BTE)
BTE hearing aids have a similar design to older analogue hearing aids, but modern BTEs are the most flexible, adaptable, and powerful technology available and come in a lighter, more streamlined case that fits snugly on your ear. Processed sound arrives in the earpiece through discrete acoustic tubing.
Custom-formed earmolds provide a more comfortable fit in your outer ear, and open-canal earpieces eliminate the “plugged up” feeling some users experience. BTE style hearing aids feature easy adjustment with simple controls that allow you to program settings and volume levels to match your environment.
