In-the-ear (ITE) hearing aids are custom-made to fit the outer portion of the ear, and are a good option for people with mild to severe hearing loss: 

• Styles: ITE hearing aids come in two styles: full shell, which fills most of the ear, and half shell, which fills only the lower part. 
• Features: ITE hearing aids can include features like volume control and directional microphones. They also have larger batteries for longer battery life, and some options are rechargeable. 
• Pros: ITE hearing aids are easier to handle than smaller hearing aids and are a good choice for people with dexterity issues. 
• Cons: ITE hearing aids are more visible in the ear than smaller devices and are susceptible to earwax clogging the speaker. They may also pick up more wind noise than smaller devices. 
• Types: There are four main types of ITE hearing aids: invisible-in-the-canal (IIC), completely-in-the-canal (CIC), in-the-canal (ITC), and full shell (ITE FS) and half shell (ITE HS). 

When choosing a hearing aid, it's important to consider your lifestyle and specific needs. For example, if you spend a lot of time on the phone or in online conferences, you should share that with your hearing specialist
