Hearing Aids
Hearing aids come in many different sizes, technologies and price ranges. Each person's requirements differ and hearing aids may be customized to your individualized needs. Dr. Ginter will discuss your options and help you to decide on what would be most appropriate for you.
(RITE) / (RIC)
Receiver-in-the-Ear (RITE)/Receiver-in-the-Canal (RIC) hearing aids are comfortable because they keep the ear canal open to reduce any plugged-up sensation. The appropriateness of these hearing aids depends on the patient’s degree of hearing loss.
(BTE)
Behind-the-Ear (BTE) hearing aids are appropriate for hearing losses from mild to profound. Directional microphones, multiple listening programs and a telecoil are available features. This traditional style is a good choice for pediatric patients and individuals with excessive moisture and accumulative cerumen (earwax).
(ITE) / (ITC)) / (CIC)
In-the-Ear (ITE), In-the-Canal (ITC), and Completely-in-the-Canal (CIC) hearing aids rest inside the ear rather than behind it. These styles are appropriate for mild to severe hearing losses and may include features such as directional microphones, multiple listening programs or a telecoil.
Assistive Listening Devices
