Introductory Text:
Hearing aids are not one-size-fits-all. They come in various styles, each designed to address specific hearing needs and preferences. Whether you prioritise functionality, comfort, or discreetness, understanding the available options helps you make an informed decision that complements your lifestyle.

Behind-the-Ear (BTE) Hearing Aids

Text Section:
BTE hearing aids are versatile devices that sit behind the ear with a thin tube or ear hook connecting to an earpiece. Their larger size allows for advanced technology and extended battery life, making them ideal for individuals with mild to profound hearing loss.

Key Advantages:

• Easy to handle and adjust, making them suitable for children or individuals with dexterity challenges.
• Compatible with telecoils and Bluetooth streaming, enhancing connectivity options.

In-the-Ear (ITE) Hearing Aids

Text Section:
ITE hearing aids are custom-made to fit snugly within the outer ear. They provide powerful amplification and are particularly easy to insert and remove, making them a great choice for those with mild to severe hearing loss.

Highlights:

• Custom fit ensures comfort and security.
• Discreet design with powerful sound delivery.

In-the-Canal (ITC) Hearing Aids

ITC hearing aids are smaller than ITE devices, sitting partially in the ear canal. They offer a balance of discreetness and functionality, making them an excellent option for individuals with mild to moderate hearing loss.

What to Expect:

• Custom-molded for a secure and comfortable fit.
• Advanced features in a smaller, less visible design.

Receiver-in-Canal (RIC) Hearing Aids

Benefits:

• Comfortable and nearly invisible.
• Exceptional sound clarity and functionality.
