10 Things You Need To Know Before Buying Hearing Aids.
Hearing Aid Styles
There are two main styles of hearing aids available: custom models and behind-the-ear models.
Custom Hearing Aids
Custom hearing aids are made from an impression of your ear that is taken in the clinic. The impression is used by the hearing aid manufacturer to make a device that fits into your specific ear shape, sitting directly into your ear canal. This style of aid comes in various sizes: IIC “invisible-in-canal”, CIC “completely-in-canal”, ITC “in-the-canal”, ITE “in-the-ear”, and MIH “microphone-in-helix”.
Behind-The-Ear Hearing Aids
BTE “behind-the-ear hearing aids” include a component that sits behind your ear with a tube or a wire attached that fits into your ear canal. This style of aid also comes in various forms, with the most up-to-date being a RIC “receiver-in-canal”. A RIC is very discreet and comfortable in the ear and is suitable for almost any hearing loss. A more traditional BTE is often a bit larger in size, and has plastic tubing connected to a custom earmold (made much the same as a custom hearing aid) and can be a better option for a more severe hearing loss.

Listening and Lifestyle Needs
Your lifestyle and the listening environments you frequent most have a great effect on what hearing aid will be ideal for you.
Which hearing aid fits your lifestyle best?
Challenging lifestyle
You’re active and need to communicate with many people throughout the day. You spend time in loud and complex environments like noisy restaurants, sporting events or concerts.
Moderate lifestyle
Communicating in small groups and participating in social gatherings is important to you. You enjoy activities like shopping or going to the theater.
Quiet lifestyle
Most of your time is spent at home or in a quiet environment, but you need to be able to hear in one-on-one settings.
