Are hearing aid styles based on hearing loss type?

While all of today’s hearing aids offer exceptional sound quality and comfort, certain styles may be preferable to others based on your ears and hearing ability.

For example, if you have profound hearing loss and require a more powerful hearing aid, behind-the-ear hearing aids would be best for you because they hold larger batteries. If you have dexterity issues, very small styles such as in-the-canal or completely-in-the-canal hearing aids may not be the right choice for you, because the controls on these devices are tiny. Your local EarQ provider can work with you to find the style that best matches your needs.
