HEARING AIDS plus HEARING LOSS

There are many possible causes of hearing loss, anything from a damaged eardrum or a simple wax blockage, the deterioration of hearing is commonly caused by the natural ageing process. In fact, 1 in 2 people over 70 years of age have some degree of hearing difficulty. Hearing loss is most commonly caused by damage to the hair cells in the cochlea, either due to noise exposure, or simply the natural ageing process.

CIC - Completely in the Canal
Completely In-the-Canal Hearing Aids are the smallest least visible custom made hearing instrument. The CIC design offers better high frequency amplification and less chance of feedback or whistling while on the telephone. This style needs less volume because the hearing aid is closer to the eardrum. This design is cosmetically appealing.

TYPES OF HEARING AIDS
The Hearing Company offers a wide range of hearing aids from all the major hearing aid manufacturers because not one brand can best fit all hearing losses. We will help you select the most appropriate hearing aid based on your individual hearing loss, lifestyle, budget and specific needs.

ITC - In The Canal
In-the-Canal Hearing Aids are small and easy to operate. This design fits down in the lower portion of the ear and is relatively unnoticeable and comfortable. These aids are less powerful than the ITE hearing aids. They come with an option of an adjustable volume control or a fully automatic version. This aid can fit a variety of hearing losses.

ITE - In The Ear
In-the-Ear Hearing Aids are very easy to operate especially for those with poor dexterity. This aid can handle a greater hearing loss than the ITC models. They are comfortable and fill the entire ear. These hearing aids come with an option of an adjustable volume control or fully automatic version. This aid also fits a variety of hearing losses.

BTE - Behind The Ear
Behind-the-Ear Hearing Aids fit comfortably behind the ear and are attached to an earmold to deliver the sound into the ear. They are frequently used for more severe hearing losses or with ears needing ventilation. Because the microphone is located further from the receiver there is less chance of feedback whistling than with the above smaller hearing aids. This design is flexible for use with telephones and assistive listening devices.

DIGITAL HEARING AIDS
Digital Hearing Aids are the newest most advanced technology containing a computer chip inside the hearing aid that processes the sound.
