Behind The Ear (BTE): This hearing aid is worn behind the ear, hung behind the ear through a curved ear hook, and transmits sound to the ear canal through a sound guide tube. It is suitable for patients with various degrees of hearing loss and has the advantages of small size and good concealment.
In The Canal (ITC): This hearing aid is customized according to the shape of the user's ear canal and worn in the ear canal. It has the advantages of good concealment and direct sound transmission. However, the production cost is high and it is not suitable for all types of hearing loss.
Completely In Canal (CIC): This hearing aid is smaller than the in-canal hearing aid and is almost completely hidden in the ear canal, with higher concealment and comfort. But there is also the problem of high production cost.
Bone Conduction Hearing Aids: This hearing aid transmits sound by vibrating the skull and is suitable for patients with damaged outer or middle ears but normal inner ear function. It does not need to transmit sound through the external auditory canal or eardrum, so it can avoid some problems that may be encountered with traditional hearing aids.
