Behind The Ear (BTE)

Behind The Ear (BTE) hearing instruments are the largest models. They can house a variety of circuit options and amplify sounds to a greater degree than most custom models. BTEs work by sending sound to the ear canal via the earmold and clear plastic tubing, which has been molded to fit comfortably in the outer ear area

On The Ear (OTE)

On The Ear (OTE) instruments feature a comfortable, “open” earbud which conforms for an instant, secure fit. OTE hearing aids are appropriate for mild to moderate high frequency hearing loss.

In The Ear (ITE)

In The Ear (ITE) instruments house a variety of circuit options in a custom-made shell that fits in the outer portion of the ear. Their size and easy-to-use controls may be helpful for people with limited dexterity.

In The Canal (ITC)

In The Canal (ITC) instruments are custom designed to fit in the ear canal. ITCs are discreet, yet still slightly visible within the outer ear. ITC instruments offer a variety of circuit choices that would have previously required a larger aid.

Completely In The Canal (CIC)

Completely In The Canal (CIC) instruments are the smallest and most discreet aids available. CICs are custom designed to fit entirely in the ear canal, improving sound quality and reducing feedback. CICs are popular for their aesthetic appeal, but the physiology of some people’s ears may make the style unsuitable for them.
