Selecting The Most Suitable Instrument
When it comes to the selection of a hearing instrument, it is generally true that bigger is more powerful. While individuals with mild-to-moderate hearing loss will most likely find that in-the-canal instruments can adequately meet their needs, those with moderate-to-severe hearing loss are usually best served by larger, behind-the-ear instruments with greater power and capabilities. However, larger does not necessarily mean more intrusive. Unlike traditional behind-the-ear instruments, an “open fit” instrument is also worn behind the ear, AND is smaller. Instead of housing the microphone, digital processor, battery, and speaker in one unit, open fit instruments use a thin tube to connect a tiny speaker to a smaller behind-the-ear housing. This design is less visible and affords greater comfort.
There are many marvels that exist today in the hearing industry that make it easier than ever to enhance your hearing. And you’ll be glad to know you can always expect to find the best way to get the sounds of life back when you put your hearing healthcare needs in the expert, compassionate hands of a doctor of audiology at The Ear Clinic. Together, we will investigate ways to improve your hearing, and we’ll set realistic goals for better communication. Our objective at 46 Nelson Street W., across from the LCBO, is to meet all your hearing healthcare needs. You can reach us at 226-909-0966.
P.S. Because open fit hearing instruments do not require an ear mold, they provide a more natural hearing experience.
