Behind-the-ear (BTE)
BTE aids fit snugly behind your outer ear
and are used by people of all ages. They
are attached to a custom earpiece that is
crafted to the unique shape of the outer ear.
|
In-the-ear (ITE)
ITE aids fit completely in your outer ear.
These are one-piece hearing instruments
designed to fit in the ear’s concha, which is
the bowl-shaped portion of the outer ear.
|
In-the-canal (ITC)
ITC aids are customized to fit the shape
of your ear canal. ITC aids occupy only a
quarter of the concha, and significantly
reduce the visibility of the hearing aid.
|
Completely-in-canal (CIC)
CIC aids are the newest and smallest of
all hearing aids. They fit deep inside your
ear and are hidden in the shadow of the
ear canal.
