Depending on the specific profile and nature of your hearing loss, they can provide a solution to a number of common hearing aid-related problems and be an ideal fit for your needs. For others, however, they can come with a few disadvantages.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"toc_container\" class=\"no_bullets\"><p class=\"toc_title\">Contents<\/p><ul class=\"toc_list\"><li><a href=\"#How_Does_an_Open-Fit_Hearing_Aid_Work\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_1\">1<\/span> How Does an Open-Fit Hearing Aid Work?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#i\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_1\">2<\/span> \u00a0<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#i-2\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_1\">3<\/span> \u00a0<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#How_to_Care_for_an_Open-Fit_Hearing_Aid\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_1\">4<\/span> How to Care for an Open-Fit Hearing Aid<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#i-3\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_1\">5<\/span> \u00a0<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#i-4\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_1\">6<\/span> \u00a0<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#What_is_an_Open-Fit_Hearing_Aid_Good_For\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_1\">7<\/span> What is an Open-Fit Hearing Aid Good For?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#i-5\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_1\">8<\/span> \u00a0<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#What_Is_an_Open-Fit_Hearing_Aid_Bad_For\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_1\">9<\/span> What Is an Open-Fit Hearing Aid Bad For?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#i-6\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_1\">10<\/span> \u00a0<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#i-7\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_1\">11<\/span> \u00a0<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Are_Open-Fit_Hearing_Aids_Popular\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_1\">12<\/span> Are Open-Fit Hearing Aids Popular?<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n<h2><span id=\"How_Does_an_Open-Fit_Hearing_Aid_Work\"><b>How Does an Open-Fit Hearing Aid Work?<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<h2><span id=\"i\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Open-fit hearing aids operate along the same fundamental principles as most other aids, consisting of a receiver (or microphone), amplifier, and speaker. Sound is picked up and transmitted through the amplifier as tiny electrical signals, which are amplified and finally converted back into sound close to the ear.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The specific difference that sets open-fit hearing aids apart is their relatively petite bud-like speaker component, which takes up only a small cross-section of the ear canal \u2014 hence &#8216;open-fit&#8217;. This usually helps to prevent something called the &#8216;occlusion effect&#8217; (more on this later) and, for those with comparatively better hearing, can allow a blend of natural and aid-assister hearing for louder sounds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Otherwise, as set out above, they\u2019re fairly run-of-the-mill hearing aids.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Open-fit hearing aids are<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?q=open+fit+hearing+aids&amp;source=lnms&amp;tbm=isch&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwjD_pfVyYzsAhWltXEKHSMkCs8Q_AUoAnoECBEQBA&amp;biw=1536&amp;bih=790&amp;dpr=1.25\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> usually very discreet<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (follow the link for some examples), especially more modern models. They\u2019re battery-powered, but generally, the aid\u2019s power pack and microphone are quite small and can be tucked discreetly behind the back of the ear itself, with only a thin, clear tube or wire looping down into the auditory meatus (your ear canal).<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"i-2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<h2><span id=\"How_to_Care_for_an_Open-Fit_Hearing_Aid\"><b>How to Care for an Open-Fit Hearing Aid<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<h2><span id=\"i-3\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most users will use their open-fit hearing aids almost every day. For almost every other piece of technology we use on a daily basis \u2013 whether that\u2019s a car, a bicycle, or a computer \u2013 we have to check on them regularly to keep them in good working order. Despite their small size and ergonomic design, hearing aids are no exception.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most common issues for hearing aid users is clogging \u2014 where earwax, cosmetics, or moisture get into the aid\u2019s insides, blocking sounds or interfering with its circuitry. Each week, you should try to clear out your aid\u2019s tubes by gently removing them following your device\u2019s maintenance instructions, and cleaning them using the proper tool (this should be provided at the point of purchase).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The tip (or bud) which sits inside your ear should be replaced if it becomes bent out of shape, too loose, or clogged up with material. Even if this doesn\u2019t appear to be the case, you might notice an improvement in your hearing if you swap in a new tip after forgetting to replace it for a while.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hearing aid batteries, while long-lived, are still sometimes prone to faults and a decrease in their power output over time. This can cause a drop off in sound quality and volume. Follow your device\u2019s instructions for battery replacement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hearing aids often require occasional adjustment and professional check-ups as a matter of course, but commonly experiencing ear infections or pain is a sure-fire sign something isn\u2019t quite right.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More serious problems may still arise, some of which should be referred to your audiologist. An internal fault with the hearing aid or a bend\/split in your device\u2019s tubing can cause deterioration in sound quality and volume but is fairly easily fixable, while experiencing feedback usually requires a visit to the repair clinic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The UK\u2019s Nottingham University has a helpful set of videos for open-fit hearing aid users, available online <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/c2hearonline.com\/patient_openfit.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">here.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"i-4\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<h2><span id=\"What_is_an_Open-Fit_Hearing_Aid_Good_For\"><b>What is an Open-Fit Hearing Aid Good For?<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As mentioned above, open-fit hearing aids offer a variety of advantages for those with mild to moderate hearing loss. Attractive to many is their subtlety \u2014 aside from very small in-ear hearing aids, they\u2019re probably the most discreet aids on the market. Wearers of older-model larger aids who feel conscious of their size and visibility might want to take a look.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Open-fit hearing aids are also widely regarded as a comfortable option. This is because their soft plastic or foam bud sits only a short way into the ear canal, and doesn\u2019t completely block it in the process \u2014 contrast this with hearing aids with a molded earpiece (or &#8216;earmold&#8217; ), which can often make the wearer feel plugged-up or cause discomfort over a long period of use. The effect of an open-fit aid\u2019s bud is a little like wearing earphones rather than earplugs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another plus for open-fit hearing aids is the speed with which they can be fitted. Because the aid does not usually need to be precision-molded to the ear, it\u2019s not unusual to leave an audiologist after only a short appointment with a new pair of open-fit aids to try. Again, contrast this with mold-fitted aids, which usually take a fitting and a subsequent wait afterward for your molds to arrive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The final selling point of open-fit hearing aids is the uniquely natural sound they can deliver for wearers. As a result of the in-ear components\u2019 slim and non-occluding profile, sound is free to enter the ear canal naturally. This means wearers with only mild to moderate hearing loss can still hear many sounds both part-with and part-without assistive amplification, giving a very natural auditory experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, and perhaps most importantly for some hearing aid-users, open-fit hearing aids prevent<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hearingaidknow.com\/the-occlusion-effect\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the occlusion effect<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which is often experienced when a hearing aid completely blocks the ear canal. When sound can\u2019t escape out of a blocked ear canal, it reverberates around our ears instead, making breathing, chewing, speaking, and even taking footsteps sound hollow, loud, and quite unpleasant.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, because an open-fit bud is very unlikely to block your auditory meatus, most wearers will seldom encounter this issue.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"i-5\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<h2><span id=\"What_Is_an_Open-Fit_Hearing_Aid_Bad_For\"><b>What Is an Open-Fit Hearing Aid Bad For?<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<h2><span id=\"i-6\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Open-fit hearing aids are generally regarded as having few downsides on the whole. For some, they won\u2019t be subtle <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">enough<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and these people <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.which.co.uk\/reviews\/hearing-aid-providers\/article\/how-to-get-the-best-hearing-aid\/hearing-aid-types\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">may wish to explore<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> CIC (completely-in-canal) aids or speak to their audiologist.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Those with extremely severe hearing loss may find other, more powerful aids to their advantage, while some people might just prefer different aids, period. For some, the cost may be an issue, but this depends on your level of coverage and open-fit hearing aids are available at a variety of price points. Children and the elderly may find fitting the aids properly each day to be fiddly.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"i-7\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<h2><span id=\"Are_Open-Fit_Hearing_Aids_Popular\"><b>Are Open-Fit Hearing Aids Popular?<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Open-fit hearing aids\u2019 efficacy, ease-of-use, and discreet appearance is becoming more and more widely known, and as occlusion is unfortunately endemic among many hearing aid-users, the simple fix offered by open-fit aids makes them an attractive bet for many.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Feel free to click through on any of the links below for further information.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The information in this guide has been written using the following reliable sources:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/newtonhearing.com\/2019\/04\/16\/what-is-an-open-fit-hearing-aid\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/newtonhearing.com\/2019\/04\/16\/what-is-an-open-fit-hearing-aid\/<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hearingreview.com\/hearing-products\/hearing-aids\/facts-vs-myths-the-skinny-on-open-fit-hearing-aids\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.hearingreview.com\/hearing-products\/hearing-aids\/facts-vs-myths-the-skinny-on-open-fit-hearing-aids<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4765810\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4765810\/<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.which.co.uk\/reviews\/hearing-aid-providers\/article\/how-to-get-the-best-hearing-aid\/hearing-aid-types\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.which.co.uk\/reviews\/hearing-aid-providers\/article\/how-to-get-the-best-hearing-aid\/hearing-aid-types<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hearingaidknow.com\/the-occlusion-effect\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.hearingaidknow.com\/the-occlusion-effect<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hearingaidknow.com\/behind-the-ear-hearing-aids\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.hearingaidknow.com\/behind-the-ear-hearing-aids<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bootshearingcare.com\/types-of-hearing-aids\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.bootshearingcare.com\/types-of-hearing-aids\/<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/c2hearonline.com\/patient_openfit.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/c2hearonline.com\/patient_openfit.html<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Open fit hearing aids can make all the difference for people with hearing loss who suffer from occlusion, but they&#8217;re not for everyone.
