Medford, Oregon (PRWEB) October 19, 2013
The many distinct types of hearing aids and the many different abbreviations used to describe them make it tough for first time shoppers to perform research.To clear up some of the confusion, Imaginears released a user-friendly guide to common hearing aid styles and terminology on their website titled Hearing Aid Abbreviations, Types, Styles and Shapes.
The guide includes fundamental information on the most widespread Medford hearing aid styles including Invisible in Canal (IIC), Extended Wear Hearing Aids, Completely in Canal (CIC), In the Canal (ITC), In the Ear (ITE), Half Shell (HS), Receiver In the Ear (RITE) or (RIE), Open Ear / Open Fit, Behind the Ear (BTE) and Power
A side-by-side list of all the major hearing aid styles immediately reveals why shoppers often have difficulty making sense of the similar names and abbreviations. Imaginears hopes that the quick reference guide will help clarify some of the important differences between the various types of hearing aids. Once consumers understand the major types of hearing aids, the Audiologists at Imaginears encourage setting an appointment with a hearing care expert. A hearing care professional can deliver advice about which hearing aid models are best suited for an individual after discovering more about that person's activities and lifestyle and exactly where the hearing aid will be used most frequently.
