A hearing aid is a small, sophisticated device worn in or behind the ear, designed to improve your hearing. It is customised to fit your unique hearing needs, and there are various types and styles available to suit your preferences and level of hearing loss.
The two most common types of hearing aids are "in-the-ear" and "behind-the-ear."
These custom-made aids fit comfortably in your ear canal, using the natural shape of your ear to amplify sound. They’re discreet and easy to handle, making them ideal for moderate hearing loss across all frequencies. However, they may not be suitable for all types of hearing loss.
These aids have a small device that sits behind your ear, connected by a nearly invisible wire to a receiver in your ear canal. They’re versatile, fitting a wide range of hearing loss types, including high-frequency and profound hearing loss. These aids can be customised to match your hair colour and are easily repaired by your audiologist.
