How much do ITC hearing aids cost?
ITC hearing aids generally cost between ₹60,000 and ₹2,00,000 (₹75,000 to ₹2,50,000 for high-end models) depending on the brand, features, and technology level. Prices can vary based on model specifications, local taxes, and exchange rates.
How do ITC hearing aids work?
ITC hearing aids amplify sound through a microphone that picks up environmental sounds. These sounds are processed and transmitted to a receiver within the hearing aid, which then delivers the sound into the ear canal. ITC hearing aids provide a more natural sound due to their position within the ear.
Are ITC hearing aids good?
Yes, ITC hearing aids are generally effective for people with mild to moderate hearing loss. They are a good option for those seeking a discreet, comfortable solution. However, they may not be suitable for individuals with severe hearing loss as they have less amplification power compared to larger devices.
Are ITC hearing aids rechargeable?
Some ITC hearing aids are rechargeable, depending on the specific brand and model. Rechargeable models come with a charging case for convenience. However, many ITC devices still use disposable batteries.
What are ITC hearing aids?
ITC stands for "In-The-Canal." These hearing aids are custom-molded to fit inside the ear canal but not as deeply as the Invisible-In-Canal (IIC) models. They are more discreet than BTE (Behind-The-Ear) models but still offer powerful amplification for mild to moderate hearing loss.
What are the disadvantages of ITC hearing aids?
Limited battery life: Smaller batteries in ITC hearing aids may require more frequent replacements. Smaller size: Can be challenging to handle for those with dexterity issues. Less power: ITC models may not be suitable for severe hearing loss, as they provide less amplification compared to larger hearing aids. Wax buildup: Can accumulate more easily in the ear canal and impact device performance.
What is the difference between ITC and ITE hearing aids?
ITC (In-The-Canal): Fits partially inside the ear canal and is less visible than larger hearing aids. It’s more discreet and often suitable for mild to moderate hearing loss. ITE (In-The-Ear): Larger than ITC, fitting within the outer portion of the ear. It is easier to handle, offers more power for individuals with moderate to severe hearing loss, and may have more features.
How do you clean ITC hearing aids?
Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the outer surface of the device. Gently remove any wax buildup from the ear canal portion of the hearing aid using a cleaning brush. Check the sound outlet for blockages and clear them if necessary. Store the device in a dry, safe place when not in use, and replace wax filters regularly.
What is the advantage of ITC?
The main advantages of ITC hearing aids include: Discreet design: They are smaller and less visible than BTE devices. Comfortable fit: Custom-molded to the shape of the ear canal, providing comfort and natural sound. Clearer sound: Positioned inside the ear, they offer clearer, more natural sound compared to larger devices. Less feedback: Because of their design, ITC hearing aids are less likely to experience feedback.
