Hearing Aids

There are many different types and styles of the hearing aids. Our certified Audiologists are trained to choose the best hearing aids based on your hearing loss and life style. We work with the leading hearing aid manufactures like Phonak, GN Resound, Unitron and Siemens. It is important to remember that each person has a unique hearing loss. Therefore, what worked for your friend or relative may not be appropriate for you. It is also important to understand that although hearing aids provide tremendous help to patients, they cannot restore normal hearing.

Receiver-In-the-Ear (RITE) hearing devices are comfortable because they keep the ear canal open to reduce any plugged-up sensation. The appropriateness of these hearing devices depends on the patient’s degree of hearing loss. Advanced features may include Bluetooth® compatibility.

Completely-In-The-Canal (CIC) hearing instruments are very discreet. If cosmetic appeal is important, many have found this to be the best device for them. The appropriateness of this style depends on the patient’s degree of hearing loss and level of manual dexterity. Features are limited due to small size.

In-The-Canal (ITC) style hearing instruments are smaller than the full-shell ITE and are appropriate for hearing losses from mild to moderately severe. Features may be somewhat limited due to size. Good manual dexterity is important for this style.



Custom In-The-Ear (ITE) hearing instruments fill 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, a tele coil or Bluetooth® compatibility.



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

Assistive Listening Devices (ALD’s)

These devices are developed to be used in place of or in addition to a hearing aid. Examples are: Tv listeners Cell phone or telephone amplifiers Alerting devises like smoke detectors, door knockers, alarm clock, and baby cry signalers For more information, please contact us.
