Have you ever wondered why there seems to be different types of hearing devices?

Today’s hearing aids are designed to decrease background noise, provide speech enhancement, and offer wireless connection to your mobile phone, iPad and streamers connecting to your TV.

TYPES OF HEARING AIDS;

1. Behind-the-ear
This type of hearing device sits behind the ear. Sound travels through a tube which fits into an ear mold or dome. They are small and help hearing loss from mild to severe.

2. Receiver-in-ear
This type of hearing device is a behind-the-ear style with a small casing which sits behind the ear, with the receiver/speaker resting in the ear canal. These hearing devices tend to be smaller and Bluetooth compatible.

3. Custom Hearing Aids In-the-ear
This type of hearing device fills the entire co**ha bowl area of the ear and can be used for mild to severe hearing loss. It is customed made to fit securely. They are lightweight and simple to insert and remove. They use bigger batteries that require replacing less often and are good for reduced dexterity. These devices are also available with Bluetooth technology.

4.In-the-canal
Smaller than In-the-ear hearing devices, this type fits the lower third of your external ear cavity. In-the-canal hearing devices require a smaller battery and are available with Bluetooth technology.

5.Completely-in-the-ear
Worn completely in the ear canal, this type of hearing device has a custom fit and offers less feedback from telephones and other noise interference.

As an independent, Newcastle family owned hearing clinic, we fit ALL types and brands of hearing aids. We are not going to fit you will a hearing aid you don't need or can't afford. Plus, as provider of the Australian Government Hearing Services Program, we are fully accredited to provide eligible patients with free/subsidized services.

To find out more about hearing aids and if you are eligible for the Hearing Services Program, please call us on 40232055 or pop into our Wallsend clinic Shop 4, Dan Rees Street.
