Hearing aids come in a variety of styles. Audiology & Hearing Center 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 locations in Paducah & Murray.


AGX9is AGX9is

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
  • Most likely will work for you even if you're not a candidate for other deep canal products
  • Natural sounding
  • Virtually feedback FREE - no more whistling or buzzing
  • Designed to be removed daily to promote better ear health.

Completely In The CanalCIC (Completely in the Canal)

The CIC hearing aid is the smallest hearing aid available. The majority of the hearing aid extends into the ear canal and is less visible than the canal aid. It is custom-made and is appropriate for mild to moderate losses. Advantages include the cosmetic appeal of the small size and reduced feedback especially on the phone. Disadvantages include the susceptibility to ear wax and moisture problems and possibility of the occlusion effect (sounding like your head is in a barrel); discomfort in taking a deeper ear impression; no manual volume control.
