Hearing Aid Styles
Eavesdrop Audiology offers all styles of hearing aids produced by all of the trusted, established major manufacturers, including Oticon, Starkey, Phonak, Unitron, Resound, Signia/Rexton, and Widex.
Receiver in the Canal (RIC)
A popular strategy for fitting hearing losses which places the speaker directly in the ear canal, without obstructing the canal with a custom shell or other aid hardware.
Custom In-the-Ear (ITE/CIC/IIC)
Hearing aids with processors that fit directly into the external ear inside a one-of-a-kind custom shell.
Behind-the-Ear (BTE)
A general class of aids that have the processor placed behind the ear. BTE has also often come to mean a device with a tube that runs from the aid into the ear canal.
PSAPs and Over-the-Counter “Hearing Aids”
Personal sound amplification products (PSAPs) and over-the-counter (OTC) "hearing aids" are other devices that do not meet the rigorous evidence-based fitting standards of a traditional hearing aid. They are appropriate tools for certain minor hearing-related issues only, and we are happy to discuss the appropriateness of these products for an individual patient.
Sennheiser OTC Products
Sennheiser is an audio technology company owned by Sonova, a well-trusted major hearing aid manufacturer (the parent company of Phonak). Our partnership with Sennheiser allows us to offer high-quality over-the-counter options for patients with mild hearing loss only. These products are self-fitting, but an optional In-Clinic Care Package is available, and adds 1 year to the manufacturer warranty. Call us today to purchase in-clinic.
Musicians' Products
We believe that appreciating music is part of being human, and we want you to be able to keep listening (and performing) for your lifetime. Since ears are very sensitive structurally to damage, we must make deliberate efforts to protect them while we listen and play. Choosing the right custom products such as in-ear-monitors and musicians' earplugs allows appropriate isolation and attenuation to ensure that music continues to sound great, while musical experiences continue to be enjoyed safely.
Hearing Protection
Harmful noise exposure can have a significant impact on a person’s continued participation in and enjoyment of sound-producing recreational activities, as well as on long-term work satisfaction. For this reason, Eavesdrop Audiology offers a broad selection of custom ear protection and hearing conservation tools.
Custom Ear Protection
Life can be loud. Designing a strategy using custom in-the-ear molds allows users to continue enjoying loud recreational and work activities, while eliminating the harm done to their ears.
Musicians' Earplugs
Whether you are a serious musician or a frequent recreational music listener, custom in-the-ear products allow the most precise admittance of sound, for the optimal music listening experience.
Hunters' Ear Protection
Gun use invariably produces sounds that create a pressure wave that can damage the sensitive mechanics of our ears. Luckily, a smart shooter can be armed with a custom in-the-ear attenuator to remove the damaging sounds while still allowing desired frequencies to pass through.
Assistive Listening Devices and Hearing Aid Accessories
For patients who find that hearing aids alone are not enough, or when hearing aids are inappropriate, we bring to the table a variety of specialized accessories and devices to help fill in the gaps. These tools may be used as part of our ongoing effort to improve speech-listening clarity, and to better process the relationship between the sounds we wish to be hearing and the background noise in our environment. Some of the products we carry include:
- Hearing Aid TV Streamers
- Remote Microphones
- Personal Amplifiers
- FM/DM Systems
- Hearing Aid Dryers
- Specialized Telephones & Accessories
