The Evolution of Hearing Aids
Hearing aids have been revolutionized as much as microchips have changed computer and phone technology. In reality, hearing aids are closely related to high-performance computers.
Hearing Aids Are Almost Invisible
Some are the size of a coffee bean. Older hearing aids only augmented the sound for hearing-impaired people.
Now, because of technological advances, hearing aids can heighten voices and reduce background noise. Imagine enjoying restaurant dinners again.
Hearing aids can also be programmed to adapt to your current environment automatically and in real-time.
And different customized programs can be created to address your personal hearing needs.

Hearing Aid Styles & Sizes
You want the best hearing aid for your lifestyle, your needs, and your budget. Consider these questions as you begin to think about a hearing aid style.
1. Your level of hearing loss - is it mild, moderate, severe, or profound?
2. Your lifestyle - do you engage in large group discussions, eat out in restaurants, or attend a small group with intimate conversation?
3. Your personal style - some people care whether a hearing aid is visible or invisible.
4. Comfort - are you someone who is distracted by your level of comfort?
5. Other influencing medical conditions- do you struggle with other conditions that impact your hearing?
6. Price - you have to work within a pre-defined budget
7. Your dexterity and vision - some hearing aids are easier to manage and insert in your ears

ITE (In The Ear) Hearing Aids
Virtually invisible, In the Ear Hearing Aids fit directly inside your ear canal. Best suited for mild to moderate hearing loss. The shape of your ear canal also influences whether you can wear one of these devices. Alpha Hearing Centre provides a comprehensive assessment to ensure proper selection and accurate fit of your hearing device.
ITEs come in several versions. All are custom fitted. Based on your specific needs, we will recommend the model that you are best suited for. You can select from:
1. IIC – Invisible-In-Canal Aids – This aid rests in your ear canal where they cannot be seen.
2. CIC – Completely-In-Canal – A small removal handle shows just outside your ear canal. It’s barely visible
3. ITC – In-The-Canal – This custom fit hearing aid fits in the ear canal and shows a small portion in your outer ear.
