Are smaller hearing aids better? 


Smaller is not necessarily better. The bigger the hearing aid the more features and the greater range of power you can get. Simply put, more features means better overall performance in all situations.

Currently the most sophisticated hearing aid that allows you to incorporate the maximum number of features possible is the behind-the-ear style hearing aid. It is important to have a needs assessment with your audiologist to determine what features may best suit you.

Once you determine this you should then consider the technology/style/size/price/repair rate and battery life before you make your final decision about what to buy. For many people the tradeoff is one of performance vs. aesthetics.
