Modern hearing aids are nothing like the big, bulky devices you remember your grandparents complaining about. They are now available in a wide variety of types and styles<\/a>, helping patients with mild to profound hearing loss find relief. One of the most innovative developments is invisible hearing aids.<\/p>\n While there are numerous styles of hearing aids<\/a>, they all have the same three basic components: microphone, amplifier and speaker.<\/p>\n The microphone is responsible for picking up sounds from your environment. When you are shopping at Pioneer Place<\/a>, the microphone will pick up the music coming through the speakers, the beeping of the scanner at the register and even the conversation of the patrons waiting in line behind you. This information is then sent to the amplifier, which alters these electrical signals. From the amplifier these freshly amplified signals are sent to the speaker. The speaker delivers this sound information to your ear.<\/p>\n Unlike other styles of hearing aids that sit behind the ear, invisible hearing aids are placed deep within the ear canal and are, you guessed it, virtually invisible.<\/p>\n There are three styles of invisible hearing aids: invisible-in-canal (IIC), completely-in-canal (CIC) and in-the-canal (ITC).<\/p>\nUnderstanding Invisible Hearing Aids<\/h2>\n
