Custom in the Ear (ITE) Hearing Aids
ITE hearing aids come in a variety of sizes, ranging from tiny aids that fit mostly down into your ear canal to custom products that fill your entire ear. Custom hearing aids can fit mild to severe hearing losses. Today, most ITE style hearing aids have volume controls and multiple programs.
Advantages:
- Easier to insert and remove.
Disadvantages:
- Subject to heat, moisture, and cerumen. Due to exposure, hearing aid will eventually need to be re-made.
