Invacare Wheelchair Parts – What to Know Before You Repair

As with any type of mechanical device, your Invacare wheelchair, with its moving parts (and in some cases, motor and battery), has to have all parts working smoothly in order for it to function correctly. Proper wheelchair maintenance is an important part of keeping a wheelchair in peak condition, and is something that should be performed on a regular basis. Still, there will be times when, despite proper maintenance, replacement of some of your Invacare wheelchair parts will be necessary.


Open Fit Hearing Aid

A type of behind the ear and (BTE) hearing aid that leaves the hearing now open is called an open fit hearing aid. Open fit hearing aids are sometimes called open ear hearing aids or open canal (OC) hearing aids. Open fit hearing aids have a design similar to behind the ear hearing aids, but they have a small, clear tube that extends into the ear canal.
