Smart Medical Buyer helps you shortlist and identify the right hearing aid for yourself. All you need to do is to make a 3 stage selection – type of hearing aid that has been recommended for you, your budget for your hearing aid and the hearing loss level in decibels (dB).
Before making these selections, you must have your audiogram with you as the hearing loss level and type of hearing aid you select will depend on the results of your audiogram.
SMB currently offers 4 types of hearing aids:
- Receiver in Canal (RIC) – Recommended for mild to severe hearing losses. They offer the most natural sound quality and are cosmetically appealing. The ear canal remains open while RIC hearing aids are in use
- Behind the Ear (BTE) – Recommended for mild to profound hearing losses. They are reliable and easy to manage. They are placed behind the ear and are connected through a tubing to the ear mold.
- Receiver in the Ear (RITE) – Recommended for mild to moderately severe hearing losses. They have smaller controls and are cosmetically appealing.
- Contralateral Routing of Signals (CROS) – These are devices that assist with single sided deafness. They transmit the sound from the more affected ear to the ear with better hearing ability and are used in conjunction with another hearing aid in the better ear.
