What are open hearing aids?
The term “Open” refers to how the hearing aids fit in your ear. The most important part is that they don’t plug your ear. Traditionally, the entire ear canal was plugged up with the earmold or the aid itself. This caused a number of issues, especially for people with early stage high frequency hearing loss. Initially, “Open” hearing aids were simply that, a style of hearing aid. Today, the term “Open” can apply to any number of different styles.
