INSTANT FIT:  HEARING AIDS THAT WE CAN FIT YOU WITH IN OUR OFFICE SO YOU CAN HEAR BETTER TODAY!

 

Open Fit:  Receiver-In-Canal (RIC) hearing aids use a sleek design barely visible when worn and a nearly invisible slim tube. Open fittings offer a cosmetically apppealing option. They are lightweight and tiny, with a transparent dome that makes them less noticeable than aids with custom earmolds.  They come with directional microphone and multi-memories.  For mild to moderate hearing loss.

 

Open Fit:  Receiver-In-Canal - mPower (RIC mPower) replaces large behind-the-ear products for power needs.  Ultimate power and performance.  For moderate to severe hearing loss.

 
Behind-The-Ear (BTE) hearing aids have the most circuit options and typically have more power than any of the custom made in-the-ear aids. BTEs "sit" on the back of your ear. They are connected to custom-made earmolds. These aids can now be fitted with an invisible slim tube instead of the plastic tubing.


In-The-Ear (ITE) hearing aids are more visible and the easiest to handle and to adjust for ones who may have problem with dexterity.  Are custom fit for you.  They have a longer battery life than completely-in-the-canal aids.   For mild to severe hearing loss.


In-The-Canal (ITC) hearing aids are slightly more visible than ITEs. They require good dexterity to control the volume wheels and other controls on the faceplate.  There are a variety of technology level choices that previously required a larger aid.  Custom made to fit you.  For mild to mildly severe hearing loss


Completely-In-the-Canal (CIC) hearing aids are one of the more cosmetically appealing custom made aids. They usually require a "removal string" due to their small size and their deep fit into the ear canal. CICs do not usually have manual controls because they are too small. CIC hearing aids have the shortest battery
