At Melody Audiology, we understand the significant impact of hearing loss on one’s quality of life. Our extensive range of hearing aids is designed to meet diverse auditory needs, ensuring everyone can rediscover the joy of sound. Here, we highlight the types of hearing aids available, each tailored to different hearing requirements and preferences.
Behind the Ear (BTE)
BTE hearing aids are versatile and suitable for all types of hearing loss. These devices hook over the top of your ear and rest behind it, with a tube that directs sound into an ear mould fitting inside your ear canal.
Receiver in the Canal (RIC)
RIC hearing aids are similar to BTE but feature a tiny wire instead of tubing, connecting the piece behind the ear to the speaker or receiver in the ear canal. These are less visible compared to BTE and provide a comfortable fit.
Completely in the Canal (CIC)
For those seeking discretion, CIC hearing aids offer a great solution. They are custom-fitted to sit entirely within the ear canal, making them nearly invisible to others.
Full Shell/Half Shell In-the-Ear (ITE)
ITE hearing aids are custom moulded for the outer part of the ear. Full Shell models fill most of the outer ear, whereas Half Shell versions fill only the lower part. These are easier to handle and adjust.
Invisible in the Canal (IIC)
IIC hearing aids are the most concealed option available. They are placed deeper into the ear canal and are virtually undetectable to others, offering a high degree of discretion.
CROS/BiCROS
Specifically designed for individuals with unilateral hearing loss, CROS (Contralateral Routing of Signal) and BiCROS aids in transmitting sound from the impaired ear to the better-hearing ear, improving sound localization and understanding.
