Comprehensive Hearing Aid Solutions

Clear, comfortable hearing starts with the right device and expert support. At Tanner Health, we provide complete hearing aid solutions—from behind-the-ear (BTE) styles to fully custom devices—paired with professional hearing aids and fittings, ongoing care and technology that adapts to your daily life. Our hearing aid clinic team is here to guide you every step of the way.

Understanding hearing aids

Hearing aids are small, wearable medical devices that help people with hearing loss hear more clearly in quiet and noisy environments. By amplifying sound and enhancing speech, they support communication, safety and overall quality of life.

How they work: A microphone captures sound, a digital processor adjusts it, and a receiver delivers it to the ear. Many devices include directional microphones, noise reduction and feedback control for easier listening.

Styles: Common options include behind-the-ear (BTE), receiver-in-canal (RIC), in-the-ear (ITE), in-the-canal (ITC) and completely-in-canal (CIC). BTE and RIC devices sit behind or on the ear, while ITE, ITC and CIC styles are custom molded for a more discreet fit. Many models also offer Bluetooth, rechargeable batteries and app-based controls. We can help you compare options to find the best fit for your needs.

Behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing aids

Behind-the-ear hearing aids house electronics in a small case behind the ear and deliver sound through a thin tube or earmold. They’re versatile, powerful and easy to maintain, making them a reliable option for many levels of hearing loss.

Key features:

Suitable for mild to profound hearing loss
Rechargeable or long-lasting battery options
Durable and easy to clean
Telecoil support for phones and public venues
Smartphone connectivity for streaming and controls

Why they’re popular: BTE devices fit a wide range of ears and are easy to adjust or repair. With components outside the ear canal, they resist moisture and earwax.Why they’re popular: BTE devices fit a wide range of ears and are easy to adjust or repair.

Comfort and usability: Lightweight and secure, BTE hearing aids offer simple controls and automatic adjustments. They’re especially helpful for children and those who need easier handling. Our clinic provides fittings to ensure a comfortable, natural sound.

Custom hearing aids

Custom hearing aids are crafted to match the exact shape of your ear for a secure, discreet fit. These include ITE, ITC, and CIC styles, each designed to sit comfortably and blend with your natural ear anatomy. If you want something almost invisible, CIC models sit completely in the canal.

The process: After a hearing evaluation, we take an ear impression or scan. Your device is custom-made, programmed to your needs and fine-tuned for comfort and clarity.

Benefits:

Personalized fit to reduce feedback and improve speech
Comfortable with glasses, masks or helmets
Secure for daily activities

Technology: Many models offer Bluetooth, app controls and rechargeable options. Settings can be tailored for different environments. CIC styles are highly discreet, while ITE offers easier access to controls. We’ll help you compare options to find the right fit.

Selecting the right hearing aid

Choosing the right hearing aid starts with your hearing needs, lifestyle and daily environments—like work, social settings or time outdoors. Consider comfort, battery type, connectivity and how you’ll use the device day to day. Our team helps simplify the process.

Assess your needs: If you struggle with conversations, phone calls or background noise, look for features like directional microphones, noise reduction and easy program changes. Active users may need moisture resistance and a secure fit, while Bluetooth can add convenience.
