Thanks to today's technological advances, it is likely that the remaining 90 percent may be helped with hearing aids. Current Hearing Instruments are available in five styles which are designed to meet your specific hearing needs.
In-the-Ear (ITE)
These are one-piece aids custom-made to fit within your entire ear. While being more visible, this style offers a larger battery size, and larger volume wheel for ease of operation.

In-the-Canal (ITC)
These are small enough to fit almost entirely in your ear canal, making them hardly noticeable.

Completely-in-the-Canal (CIC)
The smallest hearing aids available, these fit deep inside your ear canal so that they're practically invisible. Read also Invisible-In-Canal (IIC)

Behind-the-Ear (BTE)
These fit snugly behind your ear and are attached to a custom-made ear mold.

Open-Fit BTE
Smaller than a regular BTE hearing aid, these also fit snugly behind your ear and are attached to a very thin tube with a soft silicone dome or a smaller custom made ear mold.
