What You Need To Know About Hearing Aids

Conventional hearing aids come in a few variations, including:

• A CIC hearing aid (completely in the canal) offers the most discreet appearance, fitting completely inside your ear canal
• An ITE hearing aid (in the ear) that fits over your outer ear and lower section of your ear
• A BTE hearing aid (behind the ear) which hooks over the top section of your ear

Thanks to advancements in hearing aid technology, your ENT specialist can provide hearing aids which:

• Have a directional microphone, enabling you to hear sounds from one direction, reducing background noise
• Use digital signal processing to cancel feedback, so you don’t hear high-pitched whistling noises
• Have an open fit, so you don’t experience a sensation of plugged-up ears
• Have rechargeable batteries, providing enhanced convenience of not having to purchase disposable batteries
• Enable connection to Bluetooth technology, allowing you to connect to smartphone apps or TV to listen to podcasts, audiobooks, or programs
• Automatically adjust to the environment around you, the direction of sound, or noise reduction
• Can optimize sound quality, eliminate tinnitus, and provide other benefits
