Finding the Hearing Aid Style That is Right for You

Finding your hearing aid style is personal and depends largely on three factors.

  • Your degree of hearing loss.
    In-the-Ear and Behind-the-Ear hearing aids styles are better for treating severe hearing loss, while custom hearing aids worn in the ear canal are a favorite of those with mild to moderate hearing loss.
  • Your lifestyle and interests.
    Are you an avid hiker, a movie buff, or a foodie? You can choose a style that helps block out the wind, streams sound directly to your smart device, or easily adjusts in noisy environments.
  • Your personal preferences.
    For some people, comfort is king. For others, it’s all about convenience. And, of course, some want the most discreet hearing aid possible. There is a style to suit your needs.
