Hearing Aids
Hearing loss is a common condition that affects millions of people worldwide. 
To help combat this condition, hearing aids have been developed in various 
styles and designs to suit the needs of different individuals. 
Types of Hearing 
Aids
1. BEHIND-THE-EAR (BTE)
2. IN-THE-EAR (ITE)
3. IN-THE-CANAL (ITC)
4. COMPLETELY-IN-THE-CANAL (CIC)
5. RECEIVER-IN-THE-EAR (RITE)
6. OPEN-FIT HEARING AIDS
7. COCHLEAR IMPLANT
BEHIND-THE-EAR (BTE)
These hearing aids sit behind the ear and connect to a custom-fit ear mold that sits inside 
the ear canal. BTE hearing aids are considered the most powerful and versatile type of 
hearing aid and can be used for a wide range of hearing losses.
IN-THE-EAR (ITE)
These hearing aids fit entirely inside the ear and are custom-made to fit the 
individual's ear shape. ITE hearing aids are less visible than BTE hearing aids, but 
they may not be suitable for people with severe hearing loss.
IN-THE-CANAL (ITC)
These hearing aids fit partially in the ear canal and are also custom-made to fit the 
individual's ear shape. ITC hearing aids are less visible than ITE hearing aids and are 
suitable for mild to moderate hearing loss.
COMPLETELY-IN-THE-CANAL (CIC)
These hearing aids fit entirely inside the ear canal and are the most discreet type of hearing 
aid. They are suitable for mild to moderate hearing loss.
RECEIVER-IN-THE-EAR (RITE)
These hearing aids have a small, discreet behind-the-ear component that connects to a 
custom-fit ear mold that sits inside the ear canal. RITE hearing aids are less visible than 
BTE and suitable for mild to severe hearing loss.
OPEN-FIT HEARING AIDS
These hearing aids are similar to RITE hearing aids, but they do not block the ear canal. 
Instead, a thin tube carries sound into the ear, allowing the person to hear low-frequency 
sounds naturally. Open-fit hearing aids are suitable for mild to moderate hearing loss.

COCHLEAR IMPLANT
These hearing aids are surgically implanted in the ear and are intended for people 
who are severely or profoundly hard of hearing and who do not benefit from 
traditional hearing aids.
If you're looking for hearing aids, be sure to 
consult with a professional audiologist to get a proper diagnosis, and 
explore all of your options.
Thankyou….
