Hearing Aid Styles

Hearing aids come in a variety of styles. Below are examples of different styles of hearing technology.
 

AGX9is

This is a true custom device, made from deep-canal impression of the ear canal(s). It is completely invisible, and, because of the custom fit, better tolerated by many ear canals. It is self-inserted and removed. The fact that it rests on the deep portion of the ear canal provides the same remarkable hearing results.

Benefits of the AGX9is:

• 100% custom, invisible when worn, digital and fully programmable
• Most likely will work for you even if you’re not a candidate for other deep canal products
• Natural sounding
• Virtually feedback FREE – no more whistling or buzzing
• Designed to be removed daily to promote better ear health.
