HEARING AIDS

Hearing technology has evolved tremendously in the past and continues to develop at a fast pace. From analog hearing aids (providing an equal amount of amplification across frequencies and operated with a volume control) in the past, hearing instruments available today are built on digital technologies that allow:

• Varying levels of amplification (gain) across different frequencies depending on the individual's unique hearing loss
• Possibilities of much higher amplification, i.e. much softer sounds that were earlier impossible to bring within the individual's hearing range are now audible
• Sound from higher frequencies to be mapped to lower frequencies
• Solutions to previously common complaints regarding wind echo, occlusion (feeling plugged up), extremely loud and jarring sounds
• Digital technology today is available with wireless solutions such as Bluetooth that enable compatibility with mobile phones, television watching, easy listening in large social events (parties or conference room discussions), and many others.

In a nutshell, hearing technology today empowers an individual to lead a happy, socially engaged lifestyle like anybody else.

Although all hearing instruments contain the same parts to carry sound from the environment into your ear,they do come in a number of styles. These styles differ in size and the way they're placed in your ear. Some are small enough to fit inside your ear canal, making them almost invisible. Others fit partially in your ear canal. Generally, the smaller a hearing aid is, the less powerful it is, the shorter its battery life and the more it'll cost.

COMPLETELY IN THE CANAL

Completely-in-the-canal hearing aids are moulded to fit inside your ear canal and can improve mild to moderate hearing loss in adults.

A completely-in-the-canal hearing aid:

• Is useful only in mild to moderate hearing loss
• Is the least noticeable in the ear (practically invisible)
• Is less likely to pick up wind noise because the ear protects the instrument
• Easy to use for telephonic conversations
• Uses smaller batteries, which typically don't last as long as larger batteries
• Doesn't contain extra features, such as volume control or directional microphones
• Age criteria- not advisable for young children

IN THE CANAL

An in-the-canal hearing aid is custom moulded and fits partly in the ear canal, but not as deeply as the completely-in-the-canal aid. This hearing aid can improve mild to moderate hearing loss in adults.

An in-the-canal hearing aid:

• Is useful for mild-to-moderate hearing loss
• Is less visible in the ear
• Is easy to use with the telephone
• Includes features that won't fit on completely-in-the-canal aids, but the small size can make the features difficult to adjust
• May not fit well in smaller ears

BEHIND THE EAR

Behind-the-ear hearing aids hook over the top of your ear and rest behind the ear. The hearing aid picks up sound, amplifies it and carries the amplified sound to an ear mold that fits inside your ear canal. This type of aid is appropriate for almost all types of hearing loss and for people of all ages.

A behind-the-ear hearing aid

• Is useful for all types of hearing loss including severe to profound
• Is the largest, most visible type of hearing aid, though some new versions are smaller, streamlined and barely visible
• Is capable of more amplification than are other hearing aid styles
• Age criteria- it is suitable for all age groups. But generally used in children

OPEN FIT

Ultra thin tubing is virtually invisible which is connected to a very small housing that rests behind the ear

RECEIVER IN THE CANAL [RIC]

RIC type of hearing aids are the smallest instruments in BTE category

IN THE EAR [ITE]

These instruments are made to fit in the external ear
