Do hearing aid styles matter?

Yes, hearing aid styles matter because they can affect comfort, functionality, and aesthetics. Different styles, such as behind-the-ear (BTE), in-the-ear (ITE), or completely-in-the-canal (CIC), offer various levels of amplification, visibility, and ease of use. The right style depends on your hearing loss severity, lifestyle, and personal preferences, influencing how well the hearing aids fit, how discreet they are, and how effectively they address your hearing needs.
