Ask The Expert - Question 17

 
  I see lot's of different kinds of hearing aids, some bigger, some smaller, which is the best?

 

 
 

Just like glasses that have many different frames, hearing aids have different frames, some are bigger and some are smaller. There is no "best" size hearing aid, each size has pros and cons associated with it. As a rough rule, the more severe the hearing loss, the higher liklihood that the patient will need to wear larger hearing aids, although current technology allows  for many exceptions to this rule. Despite there being no "best size" hearing aid, current trends indicate that the miniture hearing aids that fit behind the ear are the most popular at the moment.
