OPEN FIT HEARING AIDS FOR HIGH-FREQUENCY HEARING LOSS
There are many different types and styles of hearing instruments available today. A behind-the-ear model hooks over the top of the ear and rests behind it. From there it can connect to different earpiece styles. An open-fit hearing aid is a type of behind-the-ear model that lets the ear remain open by sending a narrow tube into the ear canal to channel sound. This type of hearing aid amplifies high-frequency sounds like children’s voices, while allowing lower frequency sounds to enter the ear canal on their own. An open-fit hearing aid can be preferable for many users, since they can be more comfortable and may have more natural sound, especially when it comes to the sound of one’s own voice.
Millions of people face the daily challenge of living with a hearing loss – some because of illness or a medical condition, noise, heredity, or simply the aging process. And while the number of hearing-impaired individuals is on the rise, so too are the ways of dealing with hearing impairment. If you or a loved one falls victim to hearing loss, don’t suffer in silence. Instead, take the first step toward changing your life.

P.S. An open-fit hearing aid is a popular solution for age-related hearing loss and noise-induced hearing loss, two of the most common types of hearing loss.
