Bte Hearing Technology and the Oticon Dual MiniHearing aids are made of different types to meet various needs of people who suffer from hearing loss. These ear pieces are made in different styles, which include: Receiver In The Ear (RITE), Behind The Ear (BTE), Completely In The Canal (CIC) and In The Canal (ITC). Each of the styles and types are made the way they are to meet specific needs of hearing loss patients. The BTE hearing aid for instance is usually used for addressing mild to acute hearing losses.Others also have their own areas of suitability that includes addressing mild hearing losses or moderate ones to severe hearing losses. Dual mini series made by Oticon INC., for example is manufactured as a Receiver In The Ear (RITE) model, which is formed in such a way as to meet the needs of patients suffering serious and high frequency hearing loss. It is this which makes Oticon to say to anyone who will care to listen that mini is going to deliver on being a better BTE hearing aid than any other since it will produce less obscure sound because it avoids this problem caused by tube resonance. So does this mean that RITE hearing aids are better when compared to BTE models or even others? No is the answer as each hearing aid type has a benefit, advantage or function that the other hearing aids might not possess, so the right choice of a hearing aid depends on what situation or circumstance is in question. To go further on this, it will be better for you to understand what benefits a particular type or style of hearing aid offers over the others, due to its design and the technology that drives it. There are three important benefits that you can get from a BTE hearing aid that a RITE dual mini will not give you. First, its ear molds can be easily replaced when it no longer fits the user as a result of the person outgrowing it (this why it is often used by children). Secondly, they are not subjected to spoilage from wax in the ears like RITE models since electrical parts are not in the ear. Thirdly, they are cheaper to buy, change or adjust. However, one major problem, which this particular type of hearing aid has, is that it is very conspicuous and can be seen by everyone who cares to notice it on you unlike oticon dual mini. One other advantage, which RITE technology presents users is that of non-distortion of sound that is present with BTE hearing aids. This is as a result of the position of the speaker or receiver of the RITE hearing aid, which is placed right in the ear canal so the sound from the environment need not make a journey through a tube before getting in the ear as it is with the BTE models. | ||
