Hearing Aid Styles

Which product style is best? The truth is, with today’s technology, almost any style hearing aid can be fit to most hearing losses. Our audiologists and hearing instrument specialists will help select appropriate styles based on factors as:
  • Degree and configuration of hearing loss
  • Dexterity
  • Lifestyle
  • Telephone use
  • Wireless needs
  • Patient preference
  • Size and shape of the ear and ear canal

Behind the Ear (BTE)

All components of a BTE product are housed behind the ear. They are connected by tubing to an earmold or tip in the ear canal.

Receiver in Canal (RIC)

RIC devices sit behind the ear. The receiver is placed in a plastic tip or earmold and inserted into the ear canal. A wire connects the components behind the ear to the receiver in the ear canal. Many are so small now that others will not know you are wearing them.
Hearing Aid Styles

Custom Hearing Aids

Custom devices are made for each patient to fit in the ear and ear canal. A silicone impression is made of the ear and sent to the manufacturer for production. Some of the latest advancements include devices that are so small, others will not know that you are wearing them.
Invisible in Canal (IIC)
IIC products are inserted to the second bend in the ear canal.
Completely in Canal (CIC)
CIC instruments are housed deeper in the canal.
In the Canal (ITC)
ITC products fill the ear canal.
In the Ear (ITE)
ITE devices fill the concha bowl.

Expectations

Things to remember for your long-term success with hearing aids.
  • Make a commitment.
    Make a commitment of time and energy to make the most of your new hearing devices.
  • Be patient with yourself and others.
    Adjusting to hearing aids takes time.
  • It took many years for your hearing loss to develop.
    It will take time to adjust to listening with hearing aids.
  • Expect BENEFIT – not perfection.
    Hearing aids are not perfect and don’t restore normal hearing.
  • Don’t expect to hear perfectly all the time.
    Expect to hear better.
  • Be willing to wear the instruments consistently.
    The more you wear your hearing aids, the more quickly you’ll adjust to the new sound.

  • Hearing Aid Warranties

    At Central Tennessee Ear, Nose and Throat, all hearing aids we sell include warranty for repair, ranging from 1 year to 3 years, and warranty for Loss and Damage, ranging from 1 year to 3 years.

Hearing Loss Self-Test

The onset of hearing loss is usually very gradual. It may take place over 25-30 years, or it may happen more rapidly if you are exposed to loud noises at work or through hobbies. Because it usually occurs slowly, you may not even be aware that you have a problem until someone brings it to your attention. Here is a simple test you can take to determine if you have a hearing loss.
Hearing Loss Self-Test

Are you unable to understand when someone talks to you from another room?
Have others told you that you don’t seem to hear them?
