Hearing Aids Q & A

TYPES OF HEARING AIDS

 




What are hearing aids?

Hearing aids are small devices designed to improve your hearing by making soft sounds louder. There are a wide range of electronic hearing aids, but they all use the same components, including:

  • A small microphone
  • A computer chip
  • Tiny speakers
 
Hearing aids are small devices worn in or over the ear and designed to improve speech understanding by enhancing the audibility of speech sound while simultaneously reducing background noise. All hearing aids are comprised of a miniature microphone, amplifier, receiver (e.g. speaker), and power source (battery). These components work together to capture, analyze, and adjust surround sound based on the patient’s type and degree of hearing loss.

What types of hearing aids are available?

There isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach for hearing aids because managing hearing loss is a highly personal experience. To ensure she can help you find the perfect option for your unique condition and lifestyle, Dr. Randolph offers numerous devices from the industry’s best hearing aid manufacturers.

Common hearing aid options include:

  • Behind the Ear (BTE)
  • In the Ear (ITE)
  • In the Canal (ITC)
  • Completely in the Canal (CIC)
  • Receiver in the Canal (RIC)
