- Completely In The Canal (CIC): one of the smallest styles of devices, only a small ‘retrieval tail’ can be seen from outside the ear canal.
- In The Ear (ITE): being custom made, their size varies depending on the size of the wearer’s ear canal. Generally, they fit within the outer portion of the ear canal.
- Receiver In The Canal (RIC): the most cosmetically appealing and comfortable of all aid styles, a small speaker sits within the ear canal to reduce distortion of sounds with the device body sitting snuggly behind the outer ear.
- Behind The Ear (BTE): the more traditional style of hearing aid – the device sits behind the ear and is often coupled with either a custom fitted earmould or slim tube and dome which sits in the bowl of the ear.

Hearing loss can be caused by a multitude of factors and is also very frustrating for the patient. How do we hear? Sound is a wave, and this wave travels down the ear canal and vibrates the eardrum (tympanic membrane). This vibration in turn transfers energy through the bones of the middle ear to the permanent hearing organ (cochlea). Within the cochlea, hair cell receptors are stimulated and send signals up to the brain which are then interpreted as sound. Read more about hearing loss here- Hearing Loss
As children grow, they are constantly learning and taking in their surroundings. Hearing is crucial in the first few years of life in setting the foundation for not only a child’s normal speech and language development, but also their social and cognitive growth. Should a child be identified with having a hearing impairment, swift intervention is needed as even a mild hearing loss can impact a child long-term. Learn more about Children's Hearing here
Blocked ears can result in pain, pressure build-up, reduced hearing, irritation or tinnitus (ringing in the ears). Some causes of blocked feelings in the ears can include infections, growths within the ear, pressure imbalances or impacted wax. The most common cause for blocked sensations is from wax accumulation. Keep reading here about Blocked Ears
Also known as cerumen, ear wax is a naturally occurring substance secreted from glands in the outer portion of the ear canal. Ear wax is important in providing protection to the ear from fungus, bacteria, insects and dirt, by stopping them from moving further down the ear canal. It also reduces the itchiness and dryness in ears by moisturising and protecting the canal skin. Learn more about the effects of ear wax here- Ear wax
