Open Fit Hearing Aids
Comfortable Fit
What is an Open Fit Hearing Aid?
Open Fit hearing aids are specifically designed to give you the most natural hearing experience possible.
Open Fit hearing aids are a popular style of hearing aid that sit discreetly behind the ear, with a thin tube or wire connecting to a small dome that rests in the ear canal.
This design leaves the ear canal more open, allowing natural sound to enter while still amplifying the frequencies affected by hearing loss.
Some of the benefits of Open Fit hearing aids:
- Small design. Open Fit devices are practically invisible.
- Natural sound quality. Your own voice won’t sound like you’re “speaking down a barrel”.
- Custom ear moulds are not required. You won’t need ear impressions taken as you would with traditional behind-the-ear aids. Open Fit hearing aids are ready to wear straight away.
- Very comfortable, our clients often forget they’re wearing an Open Fit hearing aid!
- Simpler maintenance than with traditional behind the ear hearing aids.
