Receiver-in-Canal (RIC)

Barely visible when worn, the RIC style is an instrument in which the receiver, or speaker, is inside the ear canal. RIC hearing aids provide a comfortable, open fit. 

 Behind-the-Ear (BTE)

The hearing technology is housed in a casing that rests behind the ear. A clear plastic acoustical tube directs amplified sound into an earbud or a customized earmold that is fitted inside the ear canal.

Power BTE (PBTE)

For Severe to Profound hearing loss, the Power Behind-the-Ear hearing aid uses a thicker tube and custom earmold to improve bass quality and prevent feedback. These hearing aids have to power to help the most extreme of losses.

Completely-in-Canal (CIC)

CIC hearing instruments are custom-made to fit completely in the ear canal. Only the tip of a small plastic “handle” shows outside the canal, which is used to insert and remove the instrument. 

 In-the-Canal (ITC)

ITC hearing instruments are custom-made to fit in the ear canal with a smaller portion of the hearing aid showing in the outer ear. 

In-the-Ear (ITE)

ITE hearing instruments are custom-made to fit within the outer portion of the ear. Available in Half Shell and Full Shell.

Invisible-in-the-Canal (IIC)

This custom-fitted style is inserted farther into the ear canal than other styles, so it's completely invisible* when worn. IIC hearing aids are designed to be removed daily to promote good ear health.
