6. For the choice of hearing aid appearance, comprehensive consideration should be given. Back-ear style is generally recommended for the elderly, because the back-ear style is relatively more powerful and simpler to operate, especially when the fingers of the elderly are not flexible.

The more compact a hearing aid, the more limited its functionality. We should persuade the elderly to give priority to those with convenient operation and higher fitness.
