Hearing Aid Types and Technology in Worcester.

Understanding Hearing Aids

At Worcester Hearing Centre. We supply the latest and best hearing aids, sourced from world-leading hearing device manufacturers. Each manufacturer supplies their hearing aids in BTE (Behind The Ear) and ITE (In The Ear) styles. For all intent and purposes, these styles are almost standardised to a certain extent. Although there are visual and size differences, all hearing aids fall within the general types that are explained here.

All hearing aids are supplied in four general technology levels, each technology level suits or meet the needs of different lifestyles. These lifestyle needs are met by differing technology features at each level.  All of our hearing aids are available in a range of technology levels to meet each client’s personal needs.

Rechargeable Hearing Aids

Every major hearing aid brand has introduced lithium-ion powered rechargeable hearing aids with the exception of Widex. They are outstanding devices that offer real benefits. You can read more about rechargeable hearing aids here.

Invisible Hearing Aids

Every major hearing device manufacturer offers invisible hearing devices. They are popular because they offer better hearing with the ultimate discretion. They do have their pros and cons though and they aren’t suitable for everyone. You can read more about invisible hearing aids here.

Our Hearing Aid Guide

We thought it would be a good idea to make an easy reference hearing aid guide for our customers and for others looking for information. So we launched the Worcester Hearing Centre Hearing Aid Guide. it details:

• The different types of hearing aids
• The different technology levels of hearing aids
• The different hearing aid features

We hope you find it useful, it is a free download, so just click on the image and a pdf will open in a new window. You can save it from there and use it on any device. Please feel free to share it around if you wish.
