In-The-Canal Versus Behind-The-Ear Hearing Aids

IN-THE-CANAL VERSUS BEHIND-THE-EAR HEARING AIDS

     It’s a commonly held belief that in-the-canal (ITC) hearing aids are preferable because they’re smaller—in other words, they are less noticeable. Today, many traditional behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing aids have surpassed ITC hearing aids in technology, comfort, and sound quality. BTE hearing aids work well for a range of hearing loss levels, from mild to severe. Many hearing specialists now recommend BTE models to a majority of patients, saving ITC models for specialized situations and users. BTE hearing aid models tend to produce better sound quality; offer more customized fittings and superior comfort; and have more advanced features like Bluetooth capability, telecoils, and custom programming. BTEs also tend to be more durable and easier to repair. 

Today’s hearing aid shoppers have more choices  than ever to improve their hearing. How do you decide which is the right kind for you? The best way is to place your trust in the hands of a hearing aid specialist with a reputation for skill, knowledge, compassion, and integrity.

P.S. Younger people with mild hearing loss, athletes, and people who use other assistive devices like eyeglasses and oxygen tanks make good candidates for completely-in-the-canal hearing aids.
