Signia Small Hearing Aid In Ahmednagar

Small and Discreet Hearing Aids

Are small hearing aids any good?

Are small hearing aids right for everyone?
The honest answer here is no. If you are conscious about wearing hearing aids like Receiver in the Ear (RIC) or Behind the Ear (BTE) models, then – yes – invisible devices might be worth considering and opting for. However, they are not appropriate for everyone or every ear.

ITE hearing aids are generally compatible with people who have mild to moderate hearing loss. Because they are small, they are not suitable or recommended for people who have severe to profound hearing loss.

They are also much trickier to handle and put into your ear or can be a challenge when you replace your batteries. So, if vision or dexterity is an issue, this type of hearing aid is probably not the best style for you.

Ear shape is a factor when thinking about small hearing aids.
Comfort is so important when choosing hearing aids. If they are a bad fit, they won’t just deliver poor sound, but they will also hurt your ears and cause irritation. Invisible hearing aids are known to be comfortable, but they are not compatible with all ear shapes.

For instance, if your ear canals are short or thin an ITE hearing aid may not sit comfortably within your ears. However, there are options to try this style of hearing aid before you commit to purchasing with your audiologist – which we would highly recommend.
