What to consider when choosing a hearing aid
There are a number of factors to consider in order to choose a hearing aid that is right for you.
Lifestyle
Every aspect of your favorite activities is important in selecting the most appropirate hearing aid.

 
Type of hearing aid
Individual hearing loss is different, posing special challenges in choosing the best amplification for your hearing loss.
 
Physiology
The shape and size of the outer ear, and ear canal, may determine which type of hearing aid you can wear.

 
Technology
A combination of different technological features may benefit your particular hearing loss.

 
Volume control and program button
Some instruments adjust automatically; while others have manual controls for volume and/or alternating between listening programs

Behind-the-ear (BTE)
The main section of this hearing aid is hidden behind your ear, and connected to a molded receiver that fits snugly in the outer ear. Dr. Krukemyer can help you determine whether you prefer a fully automatic aid that requires no manual adjustments – or a hearing aid that offers full control. These hearing aids offer a volume control and/or push button that allows selection from multiple programs for specific performance situations.

Remote Microphone (RM)
Remote Microphone is a new category developed by ReSound that combines the advantages of the behind-the-ear, and custom (in-the-ear) models.

The microphone has been moved to the outer ear, and is connected to the main body of the hearing aid by a thin transparent tube. The result is a virtually invisible hearing instrument that offers Open-fitting comfort and maximum wind noise suppression.
