Hearing instruments improve speech understanding
in various situations
and support the many functions of the human hearing. As the kind and degree of hearing loss varies from
person to person and even sometimes from ear to ear, there are different hearing instrument models which
are tailored to specific hearing losses and which take into account personal needs.
Hearing
instruments are distinguished by design and technology.
Design
microStyle
generation models: The state-of-the art microStyle hearing instruments are small and feather-light.
The ergonomic design, combined with the extremely thin tubing, results in a uniquely satisfying cosmetic
solution. They disappear behind your ear and you forget you are wearing them – until your hear the astonishing
difference they make.

- (Behind The Ear)
ITE (in the ear)
| In-The-Ear model (ITE) models: The unobtrusive hearing instruments that are worn
in the ear. Aesthetically pleasing, they cover hearing losses from mild to medium. The smallest ITE-models
are called CIC (Completely-in-Canal), they can be worn completely in the canal and are therefore hardly
visible. |

CIC | Mini-Canal (ITC) | Half Shell (ITC) | Full Shell (ITE)

| Behind-The-Ear (BTE models): The versatile and powerful hearing instruments that
are worn behind the ear. They can be employed for all degrees of hearing losses and are particularly
beneficial for severe hearing losses and special requirements regarding hearing in difficult listening
situations (FM systems etc.). |
Technology
Digital: Microprocessors
(digital signal processing) guarantee highest signal processing and fitting flexibility in addition
to providing maximum speech understanding. Individual preferences and needs can be taken into account.
Individual and sophisticated.
Digitally programmable:
Analog technology, which is programmed via Software (PC) for the best possible adaptation of the conventional
signal processing to the hearing loss. Economic and effective.
Analog: Conventional
technology for all degrees of hearing loss. The fitting is performed with control elements directly
on the hearing instrument. Well-priced and proven technology.
