2. Hearing aids are available as analog or digital Analog hearing aids
have been on the market for quite some time but are less popular
than digital hearing aids The latter offer clearer sound quality and
can be programmed by a computer to achieve a high level of fine
tuning More people are opting for digital hearing aids as their prices
have fallen There are four custom styles of hearing aids A hearing
aid that can be fitted over the ear and rest behind it is the
Behind-the-Ear (BTE)
3. It is the least expensive The In-the-Ear (ITE) hearing aid sits just
inside the ear The almost invisible In-the-Canal (ITC) hearing aid is
fitted a low into the ear Lastly, the Completely-in-the-Canal (CIC)

is totally concealed from view and must be fully molded to fit into the
