If you’re new to hearing aids, you might wonder, “Aren’t all hearing aids the same?” To put it succinctly, they aren't.

The highly Advanced hearing aids of today differ widely in terms of appearance, technology, and functionality.  Your lifestyle, personal preferences, and hearing needs will all play a role in selecting the best one.

Let's examine the distinctive features of each hearing aid in more detail.

Different Types of Hearing Aids

We provide a range of hearing aid varieties at Aanvii Hearing to accommodate various needs:

1. Behind-the-Ear (BTE)

Different types of hearing aids including a Behind-the-Ear (BTE) model displayed on a white background

·Conveniently worn behind the ear, these aids are attached to an earpiece that fits into the ear canal.

·Suitable for mild to severe hearing loss

·Durable and easy to handle

·Available with rechargeable options and Bluetooth connectivity

2. Receiver-in-Canal (RIC)

Smaller and less noticeable than BTEs, RIC hearing aids place the receiver inside the ear canal, enhancing sound clarity and naturalness.

3. In-the-Ear (ITE)

ITE hearing aids are placed in the outer portion of the ear.

Durability and Care

Your lifestyle plays an important role too:

In general, BTE hearing aids are more resilient and less impacted by moisture or earwax. In-the-ear and in-the-canal devices require more careful maintenance due to their placement inside the ear. Regular cleaning and proper storage can extend the life of any hearing aid you choose.
