About CNC Hearing & Balance Center New Orleans Area Hearing Devices

Hearing aids are small, battery-powered devices that can amplify sound for many hearing-impaired people. They can be worn inside or behind the ear, and they come in many varieties designed to fit the specific needs of the individual. Using a tiny microphone to pick up sounds, hearing aids filter sound through an amplifier and into a receiver so that the person is able to hear the sound louder and more clearly. People most likely to benefit from hearing aids are those with damage to either the inner ear or the auditory nerve, which can result from such causes as exposure to loud noises, reactions to medication, disease, and old age.

There are three styles of Hearing Aids:

  • In-The-Canal (ITC) – hearing aids sit inside the ear canal
  • In-The-Ear (ITE) – hearing aids are placed in the outer ear
  • Behind-The-Ear (BTE) – hearing aids are fitted in a plastic casing behind the ear

New Orleans Hearing Aids Services. Most are non-implantable and can be discreetly worn behind the ear.

In some cases, however, implantable hearing aids may be more suitable than these traditional types. Using a surgical procedure, a doctor may fit a patient with either a Bone Anchored Hearing Aid (BAHA) or the newer Middle Ear Implant (MEI). A cochlear implant is another option; this surgically implanted device bypasses the typical hearing processes associated with the peripheral auditory system and stimulates movement in the hair cells of the cochlea to cause the cochlear nerve to send signals to the brain.

Call us for a free hearing screening or make an appointment for a complete hearing examination.
