Hearing Aids:
Receiver-In-the-Ear (RITE)

Receiver-In-the-Ear (RITE) and “Open Ear” hearing devices are the most unobtrusive type of hearing instrument currently available. This style keeps the ear canal open to reduce any plugged-up sensation. The appropriateness of these hearing devices is limited based on the degree of hearing loss.

Behind-the-Ear (BTE)


Behind-The-Ear (BTE) instruments are appropriate for hearing losses from mild to profound. Directional microphones, multiple listening programs and a tele-coil for compatibility are available for these models. This style is best suited for best suited for pediatric patients and individuals with excessive moisture and accumulative cerumen (earwax).

In-the-Ear (ITE)

A custom In-The-Ear (ITE) hearing aid fills the outer portion of the ear. This style is appropriate for mild to severe hearing losses and may include features such as directional microphones, multiple listening programs, and a tele-coil.
ITE
 
In-the-Canal (ITC)

The In-The-Canal (ITC) style hearing aid is a smaller model than the full-shell ITE and is appropriate for hearing losses from mild to moderately severe. Options are limited due to size restrictions. Good manual dexterity is important for this style.
