Hearing Aids Adelaide: Discreet Hearing AidsHearing Aids Adelaide: Discreet Hearing Aids
Distinctive hearing aids are incredibly popular with consumers who appreciate style and technology – in some cases they may even go undetected!
Oticon’s Polaris chip platform powers Oticon’s latest discreet hearing aids Adelaide, featuring five styles in five technology levels for an elegant solution tailored to meet both your hearing needs and budget.
Small Size
Small hearing aids can be an ideal way for those looking to hide their devices from others. IIC and CIC models, the least visible styles available today, are virtually indiscernible when worn and only visible directly into your ear canal.
These styles of hearing aids are typically best for mild-to-moderate hearing loss and are quite comfortable to wear, however they lack easy-access manual controls like volume or listening programs.
Behind-the-ear options provide increased accessibility. Receivers-in-canal (RIC) models and slender ear domes offer discreet hearing aid solutions, often colour coordinated to match skin tones for reduced visibility. While IIC/CIC models may be difficult to handle if you suffer from dexterity issues; especially those which sit deeply within your ear canal with pull tab removal necessary. While most users find these discreet options suitable, it should be mentioned.
Modern Technology
“Discreet hearing aids” refers to devices that remain undetectable by others and there are numerous options available; however, each device must meet several criteria in order to guarantee comfort while still producing high-quality audio output.
Miniaturised audio technology makes discrete devices that sit behind the ear capable of providing superior audio quality, including anti-phase sound waves that cancel out frequency loops to reduce feedback noises.
Modern discreet devices feature technologies like the telecoil, which enables users to pick up electromagnetic signals from compatible telephones and looped rooms, making public performances, tours, exhibits and worship services more accessible for people with hearing loss. Some devices such as Eargo can even perform real-time language translation–enabling people to translate 27 languages by simply tapping their device!
Custom Fit
Discreet hearing aids Adelaide are specially-made to fit securely within an ear canal for ultimate discretion. IIC (Invisible in the Canal) styles sit deeply inside your ear canal, only visible when someone looks directly into it. This type of hearing aid is ideal for individuals with mild to moderate hearing loss.
Other discreet styles provide a comfortable fit while remaining less noticeable. ITE (In-the-Canal) styles provide easier volume and program controls as well as Bluetooth or rechargeability features.
For extended wear, there is the Lyric hearing aid. This device is inserted into your ear canal and stays there for months at a time, without being removed by you or an audiologist. An inspection with high magnification will help your audiologist decide if this device would suit you, making this process quick and painless; your audiologist will replace your Lyric when necessary – an ideal option for those with dexterity challenges who do not wish to try an IIC or CIC model yet.
Discreet Design
Invisible hearing aid styles such as completely-in-canal (CIC) devices fit entirely inside of the ear canal to remain virtually undetectable and are ideal for those concerned about being seen wearing one. These discreet solutions may also make sense for individuals concerned with having others know they wear hearing aids.
IIC hearing aids can be particularly discreet, appearing like earbuds. They’re an ideal option for people who don’t like seeing their hearing aids in public; however, regular wax cleaning must take place otherwise this could clog the device and compromise performance.
Some devices also boast advanced features, like directional microphones to improve sound directionality and feedback cancellation to help reduce annoying noises. Although no hearing aid can eliminate feedback, these features can significantly minimise it for sensitive users and are an ideal option for people seeking discreet hearing aids Adelaide solutions while still benefiting from modern technology and style.
