Earlevel aids come in all levels of power.
They are the widely used for children with all degrees of hearing loss. Cords leading from the receiver direct sound to the ear. This type of high power aid was generally used in the past with children having severe to profound hearing loss. This type of aid is not typically used now as earlevel type aids can provide sufficient power for most children. These aids are not usually recommended for children, because when either the glasses or the aid breaks, the user must manage without both until repairs can be made.
