Hearing aid is a medical device designed to support individuals with hearing loss by providing personalised sound amplification. It includes a microphone (to capture sound), an amplifier (to boost sound), and a speaker (to deliver sound into the ear canal). It improves auditory perception and communication.
At Hearing Point, we prescribe hearing aids based on clinical needs and not just on any fancy features. Our expert audiologist will assess your hearing, lifestyle and listening needs to recommend the most appropriate solution for you.
This is the smallest and most discreet custom designed option. As the name suggest this device fits deep inside the ear canal for maximum invisibility. However, its compact size can limit extra features and it may require more frequent maintenance due to wax buildup.
These are custom-designed to fit partially within the ear canal, offering a discreet look while providing effective sound amplification. Although slightly larger than CIC hearing aids, ITC devices are easier to handle and can accommodate more features, making them a versatile option for users.
These are ideal for individuals with a more significant degree of hearing loss. They are larger than ITC devices that makes it even easier to handle especially for clients with reduced manual dexterity.
As name suggest they are designed to sit comfortably behind the ear. The sound is delivered through a small tube connected to an earpiece inside the ear. BTE models can come with rechargeable batteries, offering a user-friendly design that makes them a practical choice for those seeking both high performance and convenience.
A RIC hearing aid is a variation of the behind-the-ear (BTE) style, where the receiver (speaker) is positioned inside the ear canal, while the microphone and main components remain behind the ear. RIC devices are typically smaller and more discreet than traditional BTE models, making them more popular choice for those seeking both performance and subtlety.
At Hearing Point, we use a personalised approach for hearing aid selection, based on:
We consider the shape, size and structure of your ear to choose the most suitable style (example: BTE, RIC, or custom in-ear devices).
This information helps to determine the adequate amplification power and style of hearing aid.
Understanding your lifestyle helps us choose the right level of technology—ensuring your hearing aid is neither more than you need nor less than you require. It also allows us to fine-tune the device so it performs optimally in the environments where you spend the most time.
We consider a balanced approach, factoring in cosmetic appeal, budget and your feature preferences, with attention to visibility and ease of use.
Rediscover the joy of sound – adapting to hearing aids takes time, but the moments you’ll hear again are truly priceless.
