Cutting Edge Technology at Your fingertips
The Latest Technology Available
Historically, prescription hearing aids were often large and clunky, creating a stigma around their use.
You might recall your grandparents wearing these bulky devices. However, recent advancements have transformed hearing aids into small, discreet, and sometimes even invisible pieces of technology.
At the Ear Depot, we have developed a unique “Patient Journey” based on our experience caring for thousands of patients.
This journey outlines the process we use to help our patients continue making a difference in the world and performing at their best through healthy hearing.
Prescription Hearing Aid Styles Designed for You
From discreet options to powerful, full-featured devices, today’s hearing aids are tailored to fit your lifestyle and hearing needs. At The Ear Depot in Peterborough and Marmora, you’ll find state-of-the-art solutions that bring clarity, comfort, and confidence back to every conversation.
In-The-Canal (ITC)
In-the-canal (ITC) hearing aids are smaller versions of in-the-ear (ITE) devices, offering many of the same benefits while fitting deeper inside the ear canal. At The Ear Depot in Peterborough and Marmora, these custom-molded hearing aids provide a snug, comfortable fit that supports active lifestyles while staying discreet. Suitable for a wide range of treatable hearing loss, ITC devices strike a balance between comfort, performance, and subtle appearance. With customizable external controls, they can be adjusted to fit your unique needs, making them a popular choice for many patients.
Completely-In-The-Canal (CIC)
For those who want the most discreet option, completely-in-canal (CIC) hearing aids sit deeper in the ear canal than ITC devices. At The Ear Depot, our CIC hearing aids are designed to be nearly invisible while still delivering excellent sound quality and lasting comfort. These tiny devices use a clear plastic post for easy placement and removal, making them a great choice for active patients who want subtle, secure hearing support during social or outdoor activities. Their deep fit also reduces wind noise, creating a more natural listening experience. CIC devices are best for mild to moderate hearing loss, offering maximum discretion without sacrificing performance.
In-the-Ear
In-the-ear (ITE) hearing aids place advanced BTE and RITE technology inside a custom-molded shell shaped to the contours of your ear canal. Full-shell ITE devices deliver clear, powerful sound for nearly all levels of treatable hearing loss and are especially convenient for people who wear glasses or use an oxygen cannula. Their larger size makes them easier to adjust, supports longer-lasting rechargeable batteries, and allows for seamless device connectivity. Patients in Peterborough and Marmora can also choose from a range of sizes, colors, and customizable controls for a truly personalized fit.
Receiver-In-Canal (RIC)
The soft tip rests comfortably in the ear canal without blocking airflow, allowing natural sound and ventilation while delivering clear, amplified hearing. This design makes RIC devices a popular choice for patients in Peterborough and Marmora who want comfort, discreet style, and high-performance technology.
Invisible-In-The-Canal (IIC)
These digital, fully programmable hearing aids provide clear, natural sound with advanced noise reduction and automatic adjustments to different environments. Best for mild to moderate hearing loss, IIC devices are a great choice for patients in Peterborough and Marmora who want nearly invisible hearing support without sacrificing technology or comfort.
Behind-The-Ear (BTE)
Behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing aids are simple to use, with easy volume and program adjustments. For patients in Peterborough and Marmora, they offer a durable, versatile solution with modern connectivity and all-day comfort.
