Basics on How to Choose the Right
Hearing Aids
It is important for patients to understand that not everyone has the same degree, type or configuration of hearing loss.
Make sure that you see audiologists who have either a master’s level
or doctorate level college degree in the science of Audiology.
There are many styles of hearing aids out there
however, not every style is appropriate for every hearing
loss.
In-the-Ear or Full Shell
-this hearing aid is custom made and fills most of the bowl-shaped area of your ear
Half-Shell
-this hearing aid is also custom made but only fills the lower portion of the ear
In the canal

Completely in the canal
