Sound Choices: Exploring Types of Hearing Aids

Q: Where can I buy hearing aids?

You can buy hearing aids at your nearest HearUSA hearing center, with the help of a Hearing Care Professional.

Q: Can I try on hearing aids before buying?

Most hearing aids, including at HearUSA, can be tested out and fitted to your ears in the same visit.

Q: How much do hearing aids cost?

The cost of hearing aids varies greatly depending on the types of hearing aids, features and severity of hearing loss. It's important to remember hearing aids should be worn as a pair. They can range from $300 to $5000 in total.

Q: What’s the difference between prescription and OTC hearing aids?

Prescription hearing aids are medical-grade devices fitted by a professional with a doctor's prescription. OTC (over-the-counter) hearing aids are pre-programmed, FDA-approved, and sold without a prescription. They suit adults with mild to moderate hearing loss.

Types of Hearing Aids

Behind-The-Ear (BTE)

Behind-the-ear hearing aids are open-fit hearing aids. They hook over the top of your ear and rests behind your ear connected with an earpiece that fits in your ear canal.

Receiver-In-Canal (RIC)

Receiver-in-Canal hearing aids are a superior slimline version of the Behind-the-Ear aids. Also open-fit, with the shell of the hearing aid hugging the outer ear.

In-The-Ear (ITE)

In-the-ear aids are precisely cast to snuggle into the shape of your ear. Some ITE wearers find them easier to handle than smaller hearing aids.

Completely-In-Canal (CIC)

Nearly invisible, bespoke Completely-In-Canal (CIC) hearing aids completely hidden in your ear canal. They are super small and discreet - only you will know you are wearing them.

Invisible-In-Canal (IIC)

The futuristic Invisible-In-Canal (IIC) are your stealth weapon. They are very discreet hiding deep inside the ear. These are nano-aids that you tuck inside the ear canal, with a clear tube that makes it easy to pull out.

OTC Hearing Aids

Best suited for healthy adults with mild to moderate hearing loss, over-the-counter hearing aids are an alternative to traditional prescription options.
