Hearing aid types and styles 

The main section of this hearing aid is hidden behind your ear and connected to a molded receiver that fits snugly in the outer ear.

Your hearing healthcare professional can help you determine whether you prefer fully automatic hearing aids that require no manual adjustments – or hearing aids that offers full control. These hearing aids offer a volume control and/or push button that allows selection from multiple programs for specific performance situations.

Suitable for: all types of hearing loss

Remote Microphone is a new category of hearing aids developed by ReSound that combines the advantages of the behind-the-ear and custom (in-the-ear) models.

The microphone has been moved to the outer ear and is connected to the main body of the hearing aid by a thin transparent tube. The result is virtually invisible hearing aids that offer open-fitting comfort and maximum wind noise suppression.
 
Suitable for: mild or to moderately severe hearing loss

Custom in-the-ear hearing aids are custom made to fit the contours of your ear canal. They’re easy to insert for all levels of dexterity and avoid conflict when wearing glasses, hats, etc.

• Full shell
• Half shell
• Canal
• Mini canal
• Completely in the canal (CIC)

Depending on the specific type, it may be more or less invisible in your ear. The size and shape of your ear canal along with your specific hearing loss determine which type of custom hearing aids are right for you.
