A hearing instrument is more discreet than hearing loss
Long gone are the days when a hearing instrument was a large, obvious, embarrassing flesh-coloured prosthesis with bad performance. Just like computers and cellular telephones from a decade ago, hearing instruments are now available as much smaller devices and they perform in unthinkable ways compared to recent years. There are five basic types of hearing instruments: Behind the ear (BTE), In the ear (ITE), In the canal (ITC), Receiver in ear (RIE), and Completely in the canal (CIC).
What are the benefits of modern hearing instruments?
New hearing instruments offer a number of high-tech features that amongst other things provide better speech understanding in noisy environments by for example turning down the unwanted noise and turning up the speech. They are also programmed to compensate for your specific hearing needs.
