What is a Half Shell In The Ear (ITE) Hearing Aid?

Half-Shell hearing aids sit in the visible part of the ear, filling the concha (the bowl-shaped area of the outer ear), making them easier to handle than smaller in-the-ear models. Known as low-profile hearing aids, they are designed for those who find smaller aids challenging to manage. These aids are easy to insert and feature larger controls, making them a good option for individuals with dexterity issues.

These custom-made hearing aids are moulded to fit your ears precisely and can accommodate longer-lasting batteries. They connect wirelessly to smartphones, TVs, and other devices, offering convenience and functionality. Half-Shell hearing aids are suitable for people with mild to severe hearing loss, providing a reliable and comfortable hearing solution.

What is a Full Shell In The Ear (ITE) Hearing Aid?

Full-Shell hearing aids are the easiest in-ear devices to handle and use. They sit visibly in the concha (the outer part of the ear) rather than just in the ear canal, making them larger and easier to manage, especially for individuals with dexterity challenges. These hearing aids connect wirelessly to smartphones, TVs, and other devices for added convenience.

Also known as low-profile hearing aids, Full-Shells are custom-moulded to fit the shape of your ear, offering a precise and comfortable fit. Their larger size makes them easier to insert and allows for bigger controls and longer-lasting batteries. Full-Shell hearing aids are suitable for people with mild to severe hearing loss, providing a reliable and user-friendly hearing solution.
