Hearing Aid Styles



Completely-in-Canal (CIC)
This model - the smallest available - fit deep within the ear canal. It is almost invisible yet powerful.
 




In-the-Canal (ITC)
Slightly larger yet still small and discreet, this model permits more options. It can be almost hidden in the ear, making it hardly noticeable.
 




In-the-Ear (ITE)
Easier to handle for many users,this is the most widely recommended style.
 




Behind-the-Ear (BTE)
A more traditional style, this model fits comfortably behind the ear and is molded to fit the ear. It is a popular choice for many users.

Hearing Aid Technologies

Legacy® Digital Series:

All of Lotus Express’s hearing devices incorporate state-of-the-art technology that ensures the best quality sound enhancement available.

The cornerstone of our advanced design is the LEGACY® Digital Series incorporating the latest digital technology with features that fit most hearing losses and give users more control over their hearing. Powerful enough for most hearing losses, LEGACY® is amazingly simple to operate. Your dispenser enters your name and audiometric data, then clicks on “Best Fit.” The LEGACY® software does the rest - assisted by interactive parameters that actively involve you in fine-tuning the fitting and providing a high-quality custom product that meets your needs.

A manual volume control - standard in all models - allows the user to adjust the volume and turn the instrument on and off. A highly sensitive directional microphone - available on select LEGACY® models - offers one of the most beneficial techniques for improving speech comprehension. Other programmable settings let you change between fully customized programs adapted to quiet, noisy and telephone environments or other changes in volume.

User Benefits:

· The precision of digital computer technology
· Availability of Automatic Signal Processing circuits which are not available with nonprogrammable aids
· Multiple memories for various listening situations
· Multiple circuit options within a single aid which achieve different sound qualities
· Automatically achieves more volume for soft, high frequency sounds and less volume for the more intense, low frequency sounds
· Capable of retaining the patient’s complete audiometric file and preferred listening program for various environments
· Ability to readjust the prescription of the aid should the hearing loss change


Programmable Technology:

Analog circuitry, can be programmed by your hearing healthcare professional based on your hearing loss and likes/dislikes, automatic volume control. They are not classified as fully digital.

User Benefits:

· The precision of digital computer technology
· Multiple memories for various listening situations
· Multiple circuit options within a single aid which achieve different sound qualities
· Ability to readjust your prescription should the hearing loss change
· Computer programmable technology offers a better way to accommodate a given patient’s amplification needs because it allows the greatest flexibility and most fine-tuning capability. Incoming sound is separated into bands, which are manipulated and processed independently.

Advanced Technology:
Advanced technology hearing aid circuitries employ a more recent scientific development in amplification electronics known as non-linear or compression amplification. The result is a hearing aid with the ability to limit the level of incoming sound. This delivers a more natural sound throughout the patient’s entire listening range, without getting too loud or too quiet as can be the case with conventional hearing aids.

User Benefits:

· Sounds are balanced
· Sounds are more natural and offer a larger listening range than conventional aids
· Less distortion
· Available in all shell styles

Conventional or Analog:
Traditional analog circuitry acts as basic volume control for all sounds, allowing only for minor adjustments, you have to turn the volume control wheel to adjust loudness.

User Benefits:


· Lowest cost
· Often ordered as a spare or backup set
· Comfortable low-distortion sound
· Available in all shell styles
