How do I chose the right Hearing Aids for hearing loss & tinnitus?

My audiologist advised me that over-the-ear hearing aids were rechargeable whereas in-the-ear types required changing batteries often. This was a deciding factor for me. There may other advantages to over-the-ear types that I don't recall. I wonder if others know other benefits of over-the-ear aids?

Behind the ear (BTE) hearing aids have a bit more space in them, so they can contain options that in the ear (ITE) hearing aids cannnot. Not sure, but I think there are a few ITE style hearing aids that are re chargeable, but some may not have other features you would want to have. Your audiologist is giving you good advice based on your specific needs.

@tarheel, I'm not certain but I do not believe your audiologist is giving you the right information. I say this only because I've seen the ads for Eargo, an in-the-ear, product that is rechargeable. However, I have not researched how long these can be worn before needing a recharge.
