Open Fit

Open fit hearing aids are the state-of-the art microStyle hearing instruments are small and feather-light. The ergonomic design, combined with the extremely thin tubing, results in a uniquely satisfying cosmetic solution. They disappear behind your ear and you forget you are wearing them – until your hear the astonishing difference they make. There is no earmould to occlude the ear canal.

 

There are two types of open ear hearing aids, acoustic thin tube open fit and speaker-in the ear (SIE) hearing aids. The acoustic thin tube hearing aid incorporates all of the electronic components in the plastic case behind the ear. The sound then travels down the acoustic thin tube into the ear canal. The SIE hearing aid moves the speaker from the plastic case down into the sound tip of the acoustic thin tube, thus requiring less gain at the ear level to produce the same output in the canal.

 

SIE hearing aids are appropriate for both a sloping high frequency hearing loss as well as a wide range hearing loss. Also, because the sound does not have to travel down a thin tube, the quality of the signal is improved. This style is available in a large range of colours for hair and skin tone matching.
