From larger devices that are easier to handle, to tiny, invisible, or nearly invisible devices that are concealed within the ear canal, Advanced Hearing LLC has options sure to meet your hearing or cosmetic needs. This includes rechargeable and bluetooth devices.
All hearing aids consist of three basic components: a microphone, an amplifier, and a speaker (also called the “receiver”). Where these are placed on the device varies by style, as does the internal circuitry that determines the sound quality and critical sound-processing features — like background noise reduction or spatial mapping (a feature that helps you to better understand the source of sound). Dr. Puetz works with many different manufacturers to determine the best product for your degree of hearing loss. Manufacturer's include Signia/SIemens, Widex, Starkey, and Phonak. She is able to fix all makes and models of hearing aids as well. Examples of different types of hearing aids are listed below:
Invisible-In-The-Canal (IIC)
Receiver-In-The-Canal (RIC)
Behind-The-Ear (BTE)
