Why miss a decibel of life?
On the one side are products so minute, with S-tubes so thin, transparent and comfortable, that were it not for your improved hearing, you wouldn't even notice they were there. At the other end of the spectrum are the variety of colors and attractive designs that give your hearing instrument the status of a fashion accessory or a piece of jewelry.
Sometimes, a custom instrument may look better than a behind-the-ear instrument. The cosmetics, however, depend on your taste and your particular type of hearing loss.

For custom instruments, you may not be able to wear the smallest instrument because, generally, the greater your hearing loss, the larger the custom instrument must be. Keep in mind that all types of hearing loss are individual and some must be handled differently than others. If you have a "High Frequency" hearing loss, for example, in most cases you will not be able to wear a custom instrument because of the "occlusion effect," but your acoustician will precisely determine this for you.
Together with your hearing health care provider you will find the right hearing instrument that is cosmetically pleasing in appearance and that fits your hearing needs.
