Modern hearing aids are tiny (in some cases virtually invisible!), sophisticated devices with an array of special functions that can "zoom in" on sounds you want to hear and "cancel out" noise that makes it difficult to understand conversation.
Plus, they can be programmed to suit your personal listening needs. If you like to attend the theater, eat in restaurants, have a family barbecue, go to a basketball game, run marathons—your Advanced Tech hearing professional can work with you to find a hearing aid that fits YOUR lifestyle.
Styles of Hearing Aids
Open Fit or Open Ear
These are currently the most popular hearing aids available. They are comfortable to wear, offer a wide array of features, and people barely notice you are wearing them.
The video below includes a demonstration of the appearance of Open Fit hearing aids.
Completely in the Canal (CIC)
These instruments are tiny and fit, literally, completely in the ear canal.
Canal Style or In The Canal (ITC)
These instruments fit in the ear canal and are somewhat visible.
Full Shell - In the Ear (ITE)
These instruments fit slightly in the canal and fill the ear with a shell.
Behind the Ear (BTE)
These instruments sit behind the ear and have a tube that connects the instrument to a custom made mold that fits in the ear.
What often keeps people from reconnecting with conversations and the other sounds of life they have been missing out on is a concern that they can't afford
hearing aids.
