hearing problem

Hearing aids have two broad categories – analog and digital. Analog are the least expensive but are less customizable as digital models which use several technologies to give near-normal hearing. Hearing aid placement can be Behind-The-Ear (BTE), In-The-Ear (ITE), In-The-Canal (ITC) or Completely-In-The-Canal (CIC). BTE is the largest of the four, but is versatile as it can be used by people with mild or severe hearing loss. Preference for BTE models stems from the absence of the stopped up feeling which are more pronounced with in ear types. ITE models, although smaller, but are detectable just the same.
