• Should I go for a wireless hearing aid or a CROS
  hearing aid? Behind-the-ear or in-the-ear? With
  today's advanced hearing aid technologies, not
  only have the people with hearing impairment,
  deafness and hearing loss been provided
  innovatively efficient solutions, but they've
  also been offered a number of styles and options
  to choose according to their hearing needs.
• That being said, a person looking for hearing
  aids may have a few concerns regarding whether
  the aid would really help or how it will look.
• Well, keeping everything aside, the best hearing
  aid would be the one that you are comfortable
  wearing and suits all your hearing needs.

• Here, take a look at some common hearing aid
  styles.
• In-the-Ear (ITE)
• These range in different sizes from half shell
  style, one that fills only the lower part of your
  outer ear to full shell that fills in the
  bowl-shaped area of your outer ear. Both the
  styles contain directional microphones and volume
  control that are easier to adjust, and are
  appropriate for people with mild to acute hearing
  loss.
• Behind-the-Ear (BTE)
• As the name suggests, the aid contains a
  microphone case that rests behind the ear. The
  microphone is connected to a custom earpiece
  (earmold) via a clear thin tube that fits in the
  ear canal. BTE is a traditional style that is
  appropriate for all age groups and is considered
  the most flexible and highly effective.

• In-the-Canal (INC)
• The style is custom molded in a tiny case that
  fits partly in the ear canal. They are one of the
  smallest aids available and can improve mild to
  profound hearing loss in adults.
• Completely-in-the-Canal (CIC)
• This aid style is molded to fit completely inside
  the ear canal. Being the smallest and least
  visible style, CIC aids are commonly considered
  to improve different levels of hearing loss.
• Receiver-in-Canal (RIC)
• With the receiver in the canal or ear, the
  receiver-in-canal style is quite similar to
  behind-the-ear aids. However, unlike BTE style,
  RIC aids use thin wires to connect the ear pieces.

• Open-Fit (BTE)
• A variation of behind-the-ear aid, open-fit style
  includes a very thin tube that runs into the ear
  to connect to a small tip that holds it in place.
  The style uses small and thin ear pieces that
  keep the canal very open allowing for
  low-frequency sounds to enter the ear naturally.
  
• Given the advanced medical technologies, multiple
  styles are available in hearing aids that use
  cutting edge technologies to fit your specific
  needs and lifestyle.
• Moreover, if you are looking for hearing aids in
  Adelaide or surrounding areas, there are varied
  clinics and companies that provide free hearing
  assessments and quality hearing aids to improve
  hearing impairment in the best way possible.
