Hear Better, Live Brighter: An Introduction to Hearing Aids

Hearing aids do so much more than make things louder. They help you to reconnect with the people and world around you. At T Edward Hearing Center, we fit hearing aids that improve speech clarity, reduce background noise, and help you enjoy the sounds of everyday life once again.

If you notice that it is harder to follow conversations or enjoy your favorite shows, a hearing aid may be the answer. These small devices can significantly change how you interact, communicate, and even feel each day.

Explore Your Options: Types of Hearing Aids

There is no one-size-fits-all option when it comes to hearing aids. Each style offers different benefits that depend on your hearing needs, comfort level, and preferences for appearance. Some of the options are shared and described below.
Image

Behind-the-Ear (BTE)

This popular style sits behind the ear and connects to a custom earpiece. It’s an excellent choice for people with mild to severe hearing loss. BTE hearing aids are known for power, durability, and easy adjustments.
Image

In-the-Ear (ITE)

These fill the outer part of the ear and work well for those who want something more discreet than BTE but still easy to handle. ITE hearing aids are suitable for a wide range of hearing loss levels.
Image

Completely-in-Canal (CIC)

CIC devices are placed deep inside the ear canal, making them nearly invisible. They’re best for people with mild to moderate hearing loss and who want a very subtle look.
Image

Invisible-in-Canal (IIC)

These are even smaller than CIC models and rest completely out of sight. They’re designed for mild hearing loss and offer the most discreet fit available today.

CROS/BiCROS Hearing Aids

These systems are made for those with hearing loss in one ear. They send sound from the weaker side to the stronger ear, improving overall hearing balance.
