Re: hearing impairments
Hi chubima,
How old is your son now? If he is not yet attending primary school, the behind-the-ear model (like the one provided by EMB) is more suitable for him for the time being. You may click below to get more info:
Hearing aids choices (Click here)
I understand that it's hard for you to accept the fact that your son needs hearing aids and you want to get him a smaller pair. However, it is important now to build up a habit of using it, no matter how big or how small the size is. As I have mentioned previously, view it as assistive device (it is!) like the spectacles. If u know that it is good for your son, u will feel confident about putting it on. Your attitude is "catching" and will be reflected in your son.
In the future, when his ear has grown to a bigger size, you can then try to see if the In-the-ear hearing aids would be suitable to him then.
While it is a different issue whether a hearing aid has more "advanced" technology inside. The most "advanced" hearing aids are the fully digital ones. Most of the private hearing aids companies carry one brand or the other of this tehnology nowadays.
There are quite a no. of private companies out there, try searching the Yahoo HK web by typing the word "hearing test in Hong Kong" or "助聽器". Then u may want to call them/ visit them to see if they are good with fitting hearing aids with children. Different companies have different styles, u may want to find one that is most suitable for u and your son.
