Noise generators available

Wearable noise generators look like hearing aids. There are several types available:
In-the-canal (ITC) models fit inside the ear canal.
In-the-ear (ITE) models sit at the entrance of the ear canal.
Behind-the-ear (BTE) models are worn behind the ear. Sound reaches your ear via a plastic tube and ear mould. They are also known as "post-aural" models.
Combination instruments are combined hearing aid and noise generators.
A noise generator "shoe" is an attachment on certain models of hearing aid, which makes a combination instrument.
