🗑
Amplifier   Digital Processor - converts electric (analog) signal to digital for processing (DSP) then back to analog.  
🗑
Receiver   Speaker - converts amplified electrical signal back to acoustic. Becoming smaller (esthetic) and less powerful (smaller range of HL)  
🗑
Battery   Power source. Zinc-air. Color-coded sizes.  
🗑
BTE   PROS: largest, most powerful, replaceable ear mold, easy cleaning, minimized head-shadow effect, easy access controls, more memory/features. CONS: big, annual tube replacement  
🗑
RIC   mic out, dome in. most popular, PROS: Allows lower freqs in naturally, amplifies high. Ear mold option (for more HL). Less occlusion/plugged up feeling. No tubing, no moisture. CONS: Wax buildup, feedback management. leaks power.  
🗑
ITE   Full ear bowl, custom-made. Mild to mod HL. PROS: ease of management (one piece), natural mic placement in ear canal opening. CONS: occlusion effect- vocal and chewing sounds reverberate.  
🗑
ITC   Custom mold leaves concha open. PROS: ease of management (one piece), natural mic placement. CONS: occlusion effect  
🗑
CIC   Custom mold. Not for severe or greater HL. PROS: ease of management, rec. near TM (improved high freqs, less feedback), difficult to see (cosmetic), preserves natural resonance of outer ear, easy to use with a phone. CONS: occlusion effect  
🗑
IIC   2nd bend of ear canal. removable for patient cleaning/ battery replacement. Mix of BTE and ITE. PROS: smallest, least obtrusive. Modular design for easy part replacement. Exterior case large enough for sophisticated electronics and mics.

🗑
CI (adult candidacy)   Severe to profound bilateral HL. Less than 50% speech recognition with open-set sentences. Ltd benefit HA trial. Poor word discrim scores. Realistic expectations.  
🗑
CI (pediatric)   Infants 12-24 mos: profound bi SNHL. No auditory progress with HA and EI. High motivation. Children 25 mos - 17 yrs: severe to profound bi SNHL, up to 30% on word recog at normal conversl levels. No auditory progress, high motivation.  
🗑
CI preoperative criteria   severe or profound bilateral SNHL, one year or older, intact AN, little or no benefit from HAs, 3-6 month trial w/ AR, no medical contraindications, no ME disease, educational setting, motivated familyand realistic expectations.
