“I am 100 years old and would be lost without my hearing aids. Thank Heaven for Dr. Martinez and his staff. They understand my concerns and answer my questions, always courteous, always kind, never in a hurry or rushed. I found them to be friendly, caring professionals, and I highly recommend them to anyone facing hearing loss.”
The Different Styles of Prescription Hearing Aids
Invisible In The Canal (IIC)
IIC instruments are the smallest custom style on the market today. They rest invisibly in or just beyond the second bend of the ear canal. IIC devices are specifically designed for those with mild to moderate hearing losses in mind.
Completely In The Canal (CIC)
CIC instruments are custom styled and fit deeply and completely inside the ear canal. They are suitable for mild to moderate hearing losses. As they’re nearly invisible when worn, many people find them cosmetically appealing.
In The Canal (ITC)
ITC instruments are placed in the lower portion of the outer ear bowl and they are comfortable and easy to use. Due to their larger size, they have longer battery life and are capable of additional features, such as directional microphones – quite useful for better understanding in loud environments –and volume controls. They are a good fit for mild to moderate hearing losses.
Full Shell Or In The Ear (ITE)
Full shell models are placed flush within the outer ear bowl. Their larger size means a maximum number of controls and features including directional microphones, which require space on the outer portion of the device. They use a larger battery than smaller hearing aids and can manage a larger receiver with enough power for even some severe hearing losses. Because of their range of options, they’re highly recommended for mild to severe hearing losses.
Receiver In-Ear (RIC)
The RIC models are like mini BTEs and look quite similar to them when worn. Their speaker is incorporated in the ear tip, instead of in the main unit of the device. RICs are good for mild to severe hearing losses.
BTE With Earmold
BTEs with earmolds suit wearers with mild to profound hearing losses. They come in a longer shape, which follows the contour behind the outer ear. They have a variety of features, including a program button and volume control. The earmold and style, as well as the wearer’s hairstyle, will determine how they will look on each individual.
Over The Counter (OTC)
These pioneering hearing-enhancing earbuds have been specifically engineered with advanced medical-grade technology, to help you focus on what you want to listen to, without just turning up the volume.
The innovative design uses 4 dedicated microphones to reduce background noise and improve speech clarity, so whether you’re chatting with your partner in a busy café or catching up with friends over dinner, the sounds that matter will be crystal-clear.
Schedule Your Hearing Assessment
Your first step toward regaining the rich, rewarding, and independent lifestyle you are missing due to a hearing loss is to schedule a comprehensive hearing assessment.
You can have an open and honest discussion with an audiologist about your hearing concerns and work together to find a solution suitable for you.

What our Delighted Patients say
“Don’t waste another minute of your life without hearing aids and Dr JJ. The technology is amazing.”
“As like many others, I ignored the fact my hearing was not good and always thought my only issue was not being able to hear the TV. My biggest concern was hearing aids make you look old.
“My fear was that I would not get used to wearing hearing aids or my glasses would make them uncomfortable.
“Now I hear things I haven’t heard in years. I can be in a conversation and understand what everyone is saying.”
“I have known for years that I had a loss of hearing of my high pitch. I was being tested annually at work so that’s how I knew it was high pitch. After I retired in 2012, I wasn’t getting tested anymore and it seemed to get worse.
“My biggest concern was I would get irritated at people talking to me thinking that it was their fault that I couldn’t hear what they were saying because they were not speaking up loud enough.
“Hearing aids aren’t like they were back in the day when they were so bulky. You can barely see them.”
“Throughout the years, I knew that I favored my left ear over my right ear. I didn’t realize it was really bad until I rolled over in bed. I immediately knew I had hearing loss in my right ear because I could no longer hear the tv when I rolled over.
“Knowing my father has almost 100% hearing loss, I knew I had to do something. I learned I also had it in my left ear which was surprising.
“Dr. Martinez will make sure you are properly fitted with the correct aids to really improve your ability to hear what’s going on around you”
Catherine first came to terms with her hearing loss when it began to affect her socially.
She often felt “left out because I didn’t know what people were saying” and she “could not be a part of the conversation.”
This made her feel very low, and she was worried that there would be no help for her.
