Types of Hearing Devices (form factors)
Behind-the-ear (BTE)
BTEs sit behind the ear and use a thin plastic tubing that transports sound into the hearing aid. This is for wide range of hearing loss.
Receiver-in-the-ear (RITE)
Similar to BTEs, RITEs sit behind the ear and have a thin receiver wire that gets placed into the ear canal. This is best for mild to severe hearing loss.
In-the-ear (ITE)
ITEs go directly in the ear making them much less noticeable. These are great for moderate to severe hearing loss and for those with difficulty handling small items.
In-the-canal (ITC)
ITCs fit deeply into the ear canal and are less visible than ITEs. ITCs are custom made to fit the wearer's ear shape. These are best for mild to mildly severe hearing loss.
CROS/BICROS
Suited for those with normal or with slight hearing loss in one ear. Hearing aid that picks up sound from the transmitter and plays it on the better ear.
Access to market leading hearing technology with five global leaders including state of the art hearing aids from market leading brands like Oticon.
