In The Ear (ITE) hearing aids

If you are looking for something bespoke then In The Ear (ITE) hearing aids are the place to start. All ITE hearing aids are custom made for you and this starts with our Hearing Aid Audiologists taking impressions of your ears. These are sent to the manufacturers who scan the impressions to create a 3D computer model. From this they can precisely build your ITE hearing aids ensuring a comfortable, perfect fit! The shell and faceplate (the top section where the controls and battery door are) can be made in a range of colours to match your skin tones.

In The Ear hearing aids, also referred to as a Full Shell, are the largest of this fitting type and sit comfortably in the entire concha. Their larger size means they can be fitted with physical controls, bigger batteries and more powerful amplifiers so are great if you have dexterity issues, visual impairments and/or a mild to severe hearing loss. They can also have more features, like directional microphones. 

If you are looking for something smaller then there is the Half Shell which is a bit more discreet but still retains all the key Full Shell benefits.
