Hearing Instruments and Styles

Hearing instrument styles

While all hearing instruments contain the same parts to carry sound from the environment into your ear, they come in a number of styles, which differ in size and the way they're placed in your ear. For example, there are some that are small enough to fit inside your ear canal, making them almost invisible. There are others still that fit partially in your ear canal.

Whichever you choose, there is one thing to keep in mind: Generally, the smaller a hearing instrument is, the less powerful it is, the shorter its battery life, and the more it'll cost. 

Manufacturers use advanced technology

Most of the better-known manufacturers make products that use the leading, most advanced hearing technology. They offer different levels of features which may increase the benefits of a particular hearing instrument over another.Some of the manufacturers that Master Plan uses include are:
