Hearing Aids
Your hearing journey will have many steps, and we are "Hear for You" at each one.
Hearing aids can do so much more than improve how you hear. They can help you reconnect to the world and others. Whether you are new to hearing devices or exploring an upgrade, understanding all the options can make a huge difference.
Let’s talk about what is really possible. Contact 817Audiology to get the conversation started.
A Clearer Way to Hear
Hearing aids are small yet powerful tools designed to support better communication, improved awareness, and enhanced confidence. For many people, they help to reduce the strain of everyday conversations and bring clarity to the sounds that matter most, like voices, laughter, and the sounds of life itself.

Types of Hearing Aids and Their Benefits
Modern hearing aids come in a variety of styles, each offering unique strengths. Here’s a brief look at what’s available:
Receiver-in-Canal (RIC)
A slim option with a speaker placed directly in the ear canal. RICs offer a natural sound experience and are popular for their comfort and aesthetic appeal.
Completely-in-Canal (CIC)
Virtually invisible, CICs sit deeper in the ear canal and are favored for their discreet look. Best for mild to moderate hearing loss.
In-the-Ear (ITE)
These custom-fit devices fit snugly in the outer ear and provide easy handling and controls. ITEs suit a range of hearing needs and are often a good choice for those who want simplicity.
Behind-the-Ear (BTE)
These rest comfortably behind the ear and connect to a custom earpiece. BTEs are known for power, durability, and versatility, especially for those with more significant hearing loss.
CROS/BiCROS
Designed for individuals with unilateral hearing loss, these systems balance sound from the weaker ear to the stronger one, enhancing spatial awareness and clarity.
Hearing Aid Technology Has Come a Long Way
Today’s hearing aids are more advanced than sound amplifiers. They are devices that adapt in real time to your environment. These fantastic devices can include features such as automatic noise level adjustments, Bluetooth connectivity for streaming shows and making phone calls, and even rechargeable batteries for all-day use. These advances enable you to navigate life with greater confidence and less effort, wherever your day may take you.
