Hearing Aid Styles

 
Hearing aids come in a variety of styles. Family Hearing Centers is always at the forefront of the latest and greatest digital hearing aids on the market today. Below are examples of different types of hearing technology we offer at our practice locations in Boulder, Lafayette & Broomfield.
 

AGX9is

 
This is a true custom device, made from deep-canal impression of the ear canal(s). It is completely invisible, and, because of the custom fit, better tolerated by many ear canals. It is self-inserted and removed. The fact that it rests on the deep portion of the ear canal provides the same remarkable hearing results.
 
Benefits of the AGX9is:

• 100% custom, invisible when worn, digital and fully programmable
• Most likely will work for you even if you’re not a candidate for other deep canal products
• Natural sounding
• Virtually feedback FREE – no more whistling or buzzing
• Designed to be removed daily to promote better ear health.
