Hearing Aid Styles for Every Ear & Lifestyle
We fit hearing aid styles for every ear and lifestyle. At your appointment, our audiologists will help you choose the best style based on your degree of hearing loss, ear anatomy, dexterity, and cosmetic preferences.
Behind-the-Ear
A small device sits behind the ear and delivers sound into the ear canal through a thin tube (BTE) or a wire connected to a tiny receiver placed directly in the canal (RIC/RITE). Receiver-in-canal is the most popular style today — near-invisible, lightweight, and available with Bluetooth and rechargeable batteries. Traditional BTE remains the most powerful option for severe hearing loss.
Custom Molded
Custom-made from an impression of your ear for a precise, comfortable fit. Available in a range of sizes — from in-the-ear (ITE) models that fill the outer ear bowl to completely-in-canal (CIC) and invisible-in-canal (IIC) devices that sit deep inside the ear canal and are virtually undetectable. The smaller the device, the more discreet it is, though smaller sizes work best for mild to moderate hearing loss.
Implantable Solutions
Bone-anchored hearing aids (BAHA) transmit sound vibrations through the skull bone directly to the inner ear, bypassing the outer and middle ear entirely. Available as a surgically implanted device or a non-surgical headband system. An effective option for single-sided deafness, conductive hearing loss, or patients who cannot wear traditional hearing aids.
Not sure which style is right for you? Your audiologist will evaluate your hearing, ear anatomy, lifestyle, and preferences to recommend the best option at your appointment.
Choosing the Right Technology for Your Life
Hearing aids come in multiple levels of technology and our audiologists will help you decide the right technology for your budget and needs.
- PremiumThe most advanced performance available, delivering exceptional clarity in complex environments like restaurants, meetings, and social gatherings. These devices automatically adapt to your surroundings, provide the most natural sound, and offer the smoothest, smartest listening experience.
- AdvancedExcellent performance in a wide range of settings, reducing background noise effectively and offering strong speech understanding for people with active routines.
- Mid-LevelIdeal for everyday listening, offering reliable noise reduction and comfort for quieter conversations, small groups, and routine environments.
- EssentialClear, simple amplification for one-on-one conversations and calm settings, providing dependable performance at the most accessible price point.
No matter the tier, each level is designed to support better hearing — your lifestyle simply determines how much technology is right for you.
What to Expect at Your Hearing Aid Appointment
We're here to make your appointment feel easy, relaxed, and personalized to your hearing needs by taking a thoughtful, unhurried approach to make sure your hearing needs and goals are truly understood. Many patients leave their fitting appointment delightfully surprised — hearing sounds they haven't experienced in years.
Hearing Evaluation & Consultation
We start with a complete audiometric evaluation in our on-site sound booth to understand the type and degree of your hearing loss. Then we discuss your listening environments, communication goals, lifestyle, and budget to guide you toward the right solution.
Fitting & Verification
Your hearing aids are carefully programmed and verified using Real Ear Measurements. By placing a tiny microphone in your ear canal, we can confirm that the hearing aids are delivering the right level of sound at every frequency — precisely matched to your hearing needs.
Follow-Up & Fine-Tuning
Follow-up visits give us the chance to fine-tune your settings as your brain adjusts, answer questions, and make sure your devices are performing at their best. These visits are included for 3 years after your fitting — you're never on your own.
Insurance & Financing Options
Hearing aids are an investment in your overall well-being, and we want that investment to feel within reach. We'll walk you through your coverage and benefits upfront, so you have a clear understanding of your options before making any decisions.
