MEDICAL DICTIONARY
Hearing aid: An instrument to help in hearing. There are four common styles of hearing aids. From largest to smallest, they are: - Behind-the-ear ( BTE ) hearing aids,
- In-the-ear ( ITE ) hearing aids,
- In-the-canal ( ITC ) hearing aids, and
- Completely-in-the-canal ( CIC ) hearing aids.
There is also a body hearing aid for very severe hearing loss. In general, hearing aids should ideally be binaural (in both ears), if the hearing loss involves both ears.
