This is an exciting new product because it answers many previous objections to hearing aids. The small size tucked up behind the ear is nearly invisible, with a narrow tube going into the ear canal. The clear lightweight dome that holds it in place doesn’t give that “plugged up” feeling. These aids use a size 312 battery. T-coil options on some models and Bluetooth on others allow for wireless communication options. The receiver in the canal technology reduces problems with feedback (whistling).
