How hearing aids work
 
Inside hearing aids a microphone picks up sound waves from the air which converts to electrical signals.
 
They are then made louder by an amplifier which the reciever converts the processed signal back into sound waves which is then directed into your ear.
 
 
Styles of hearing aids
 
Four styles to meet your sense of style
Hearing aids are available in four basic styles designed to meet most hearing needs:
 
Micro-CIC (Completely-in-the-Canal)
The smallest of all hearing instruments, these are designed to hide more completely in the ear canal and are virtually invisible when worn.
 
ITC (In-the-Canal)
Still small and discreet, these models are easy to handle and offer the user additional control functions.
 
ITE (In-the-Ear)
This size features the widest selection of user-controlled functions and comfort features.
 
BTE (Behind-the-Ear)
These fit snugly behind your ear and are attached to a custom earpiece molded to the shape of your outer ear. There are a variety of styles available within the BTE category including a mini-BTE.
