Behind-the-ear & in-the-canal hearing aids

Hearing instrument styles differ in their appearance and how they fit on and in your ears and offer different advantages depending on the design, size and technology. Most styles are available in a wide range of colors to suit your needs. You and your hearing healthcare professional can help you choose the style that’s right for you.

Behind-the-ear Canal Receiver Technology (CRT)

  • Ultra-small, lightweight, behind-the-ear (BTE) style that sits snugly behind the ear and connects to the ear with a nearly invisible thin tube
  • Tiny speaker in the ear canal delivers quality sound
  • Benefits include more natural sound and less occlusion (“blocked ear” feeling) than a traditional BTE

Open behind-the-ear (BTE)

  • Small BTE hearing aid attaches to a slim tube which directs sound into the ear
  • "Open" type of fitting is very comfortable and discreet and has a more natural sound with less occlusion (“blocked ear” feeling)
  • Suitable for mild to moderate high-frequency hearing losses

Behind-the-ear (BTE)

  • Worn comfortably behind the ear while amplified sound travels down a tube to a customized earmold that fits securely into the ear
  • Because they are larger, BTEs can accommodate bigger batteries for longer life and larger amplifiers for maximum amplification for people with a more severe hearing loss
  • Most are compatible with assistive listening devices and are suitable for mild to profound hearing losses

Micro-completely-in-the-canal (micro CIC)

  • Smallest custom hearing aid available
  • This tiny ultra comfortable in-the-ear solution fits deeply inside the ear canal making it hidden from sight.
  • Since the microphone is at the opening of the ear canal, this style provides a more natural sound quality
  • Suitable for mild to moderately severe hearing losses

Completely-in-the-canal (CIC)

  • Smallest custom hearing aid available, the CIC fits deeply inside the ear canal making it almost invisible and very discreet
  • Since the microphone is at the opening of the ear canal, this style provides a more natural sound quality
  • Suitable for mild to moderately severe hearing losses

In-the-canal (ITC)

  • Custom-made to fit almost entirely inside the ear canal, making them difficult to notice
  • Suitable for mild to moderately severe hearing losses

Half shell (ITE)

  • Custom-made to fit securely in your outer ear, ensuring optimum performance and maximum comfort
  • Suitable for mild to severe hearing losses

Full shell (ITE)

  • Custom-made to fit securely and comfortably in the outer ear making it more suitable for people with dexterity challenges
  • Larger in size than the half shell and are suitable for mild to severe hearing losses

The staff at Quality Choice did something that not many people do anymore in health care, they listened and they answered every question I asked. From my very first phone call to the first and last appointment they were friendly, knowledgeable and gave me the information I needed without any kind of heavy sales pitch to let me make the right decision. I use their product daily and my family and my home are better now with the help of Quality Choice Hearing. And with the two locations, I can conveniently get anything I need when I need it based on our hectic schedule. Call Quality Choice, the one phone call will make your life better.
