Hearing Aid Styles

Hearing aids come in a variety of styles.  The Hearing Clinic 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 location in Denison.

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
