Analog 1-Channel Custom Instrument For Mild to Severe Hearing Losses The term Half-Shell Hearing Aid refers to the size of this hearing aid. A Half-Shell Hearing Aid Hearing Aid aid is considered "medium" in comparison to other In-The-Ear types of hearing aids. It's not as large as the Full-Shell aid that fills up the entire bowl of the ear, nor is it as small as a Canal Aid that fits just at the opening of the ear canal. The faceplace is generally about the size of a nickel, although this will depend upon the individual's ear size and what "extras" may be installed into the aid. All Half-Shell Hearing Aids use the size #312 battery. These are custom built aids, so the size and shape will perfectly match the curves and contours of the user's individual ear. To make a custom aid we need impressions of the user's ears. This can easily be done right at home. Tens of thousands of Lloyd's customers have successfully done this over the past 40 years with no problems. It's a very safe and simple procedure. Everything necessary to make impressions of your ears is sent at no charge. The standard Half-Shell Hearing Aid is an analog instrument and is built to match the user's hearing loss. We like to have audiograms (hearing loss charts) if possible. It is very helpful but not absolutely necessary. The more complete of a description of a person's hearing loss, the better able we are to meet the need. The standard Half-Shell Hearing Aid comes with a volume control wheel and one free trimpot. The trimpot is usually a tone control for ability to tune the aid to specific frequency emphasis. The Half-Shell Hearing Aid aid can be made with up to 50dB of gain, making it appropriate for a wide degree of hearing losses ranging from mild all the way up to moderately severe. Most Half-Shell Hearing Aids also feature venting through the shell which allows the aid to "breathe" while it's being worn. This helps alleviate the sensation of "talking in a barrel" for its wearer. The standard Half-Shell Hearing Aid comes with a one year warranty, cleaning tools, free batteries, carrying pouch and all items needed in order to wear the aid right out of the box. Extended warranties are available at a reasonable cost.
