With the advent of "Open Ear" style hearing aids, one of the single biggest complaints from hearing aid users has been solved! Traditional hearing aids occlude or plug-up the ear canal, similar to what it feels like when you stick your fingers in your ears.

Plugging-up the ear:

• Creates uncomfortable pressure.
• Makes the wearer’s voice seem too loud.
• Takes away some of the person’s good hearing.

"Open Ear" Hearing Aids:

• Do not Plug-up your ear.
• Don’t take away any hearing..they simply add what you are missing.
• Eliminate the plugged up pressure.
• Provide a natural experience when speaking and chewing.
• Tiny, very difficult to see (some of the models).
• Feel like you don’t have anything in your ear.
