Transcript of Hearing Aid Styles San Diego
Hearing Aids – Your Way!
Even the most severe hearing losses can
be accommodated. Depending on your
degree of hearing impairment, your
lifestyle, and your cosmetic tastes, you
and your hearing healthcare professional
will be able to reach a decision about
which style is best for you!
Behind-the-Ear (BTE)
-Fits over the top of the ear
-Connects to a custom ear mold or small tip
that fits into the outer ear canal
-Great for kids who may need frequent
changes for their growing ear
Open-Fit BTE
-So small they are nearly invisible
-Gives a more “open” feeling to the ear
-Allows natural sounds to flow in and out
-Reduces the perception of distortion and
loudness to own voice while wearing hearing aids
In-the-Canal (ITC)
•Made to custom fit your individual
ear
•Fits into the very bottom of the bowl
of the ear and the outer ear canal
•Typically easy to put in and take out
•Completely-in-the-Canal (CIC)
•Made to custom fit your individual ear
•Fits completely in the outer ear canal

Contact your hearing healthcare
professional to discuss your
options. Decide what hearing
