The Difference Between Tubes and ReceiversWhen making a purchasing decision between tubes and receivers here are a few things to consider: Regular tubes are much more cost effective than receivers but are also limited in their function. Where a regular tube allows sound to travel through it to the ear canal, a receiver tube places the speaker directly into the ear canal. This allows for less distortion and the ability to treat a wider range of hearing loss.Receiver maintenance is more involved than maintenance required for regular tubes.

While receivers can provide a much better sound quality, they are also more susceptible to moisture damage. With a regular tube, maintenance is a simple as using as cleaning filament on a regular basis. But a major benefit to receivers is that they can also be upgraded from Standard to Power, allowing for your current hearing aid to treat future hearing loss without buying a completely new hearing aid!Regular Tubes have:Lower PricesEasy MaintenanceReceivers have:Better Sound QualityCan be upgraded to match future hearing loss.
