If you have hearing loss, the first step to better hearing is to schedule a hearing test. Once an audiologist determines the exact type and degree of your hearing loss, the second step is to be fit with hearing aids. There are many styles of hearing devices available, and all the choices can be overwhelming<\/a>. While your audiologist will be there to walk you through every step of the way, we\u2019ve compiled some pros and cons for various hearing aid styles to help you get started.<\/p>\n IICs and CICs are the smallest, most discreet hearing aids<\/a> on the market. They are worn deep in the ear canal and are barely, if at all, visible to others. These styles are commonly fit for people with mild to moderate hearing loss.<\/p>\n Pros:<\/p>\n Cons:<\/p>\n ITCs sit in the lower portion of the outer ear bowl. They are slightly larger than IICs and CICs, meaning they have a longer battery life and are appropriate for a wider range of hearing losses. They often include features like manual controls and directional microphones.<\/p>\n Pros:<\/p>\n Cons:<\/p>\n Low profile hearing aids are like ITCs but are available in half-shell (filling half the bowl of the outer ear) or full-shell designs (filling entire outer ear bowl). These offer similar features to ITCs but are more suitable for people with dexterity issues due to their size.<\/p>\n Pros:<\/p>\n Cons:<\/p>\n For more information<\/a> or to schedule an appointment, call Nevada Ear + Sinus Institute today.<\/p>\n If you have hearing loss, the first step to better hearing is to schedule a hearing test.
