Open-fit hearing aids
Open-fit hearing aids are a type of hearing aid that sits behind the ear and has a thin tube or receiver in the ear canal. This style of hearing aid keeps the ear canal more open, allowing for low-frequency sounds to enter the ear naturally and for high-frequency sounds to be amplified through the hearing aid. This makes the style a good choice for people with better low-frequency hearing and mild to moderate high-frequency hearing loss.
Open-fit hearing aids are placed discreetly behind the ears and don't plug the ear like the in-the-ear hearing aid styles, often making your voice sound more natural to you.
