I have a severe hearing loss, but I'm wearing an ITE aid. Earlier I've had BTE types, and when I was a small child in the late 70's and early 80's used cigarette pack-sized ones. In-the-Canal (ITC) and CIC models are still not suitable for me, perhaps never will be, but full shell ITE's can be quite powerful, comparable to BTE models (except the largest gain ones).
