Why Today’s Hearing Technology is Distinctively Different to What Many People Remember
Although prescription hearing aids are only part of the puzzle of achieving better hearing, they’re the part that prevents many people from moving forward to address their hearing challenges.
With hearing technology historically having stigma for the large, clunky devices you may remember your grandparents wearing, some people choose to continue to live a limited life out of fear of becoming a prescription hearing aid wearer.
Yet in today’s world, hearing technology is significantly different from what many people remember.
The latest technology is small, discreet, and, in some cases, even invisible. In fact, it’s highly likely that you have friends, loved ones, or colleagues that are hearing aid wearers and you have never even noticed.
At Pacific Hearing, Inc., Dr. Greg and the team understand that there is no “one size fits all” when it comes to addressing your hearing challenges.
With access to all manufacturers and all levels of hearing technology, we’re able to make a recommendation on the best hearing devices for you based on your unique circumstances, lifestyle, and budget to ensure that you achieve better hearing.
The Different Styles of Prescription Hearing Aids
Behind-The-Ear (BTE)
In-The-Ear (ITE)
In-the-Canal (ITC)
Completely-in-the-Canal (CIC)
Invisible-in-the-Canal (IIC)
Receiver-In-The-Ear (RITE)
Lyric (Invisible)
Behind-The-Ear (BTE)
These are, more or less, holdovers from days gone by. Designed for patients with severe to profound hearing losses, these instruments resemble the older style but are far lighter, more streamlined, and have fewer performance issues. As the performance of RITE hearing aid styles increases, BTE models are disappearing. Along with connectivity, streaming, and color and skin tone matching, BTE units include easy to use buttons and are rechargeable as well.
