Types of Hearing Aids
Invisible In Canal (IIC)
IIC hearing instruments are 100% invisible when worn. They sit deep in the ear canal ensuring sound travels quickly and accurately to your eardrum. This 100% invisible hearing aid is designed for daily removal. It:
- Allows you to hear clearly, even in noise
- Is custom-sculpted for your ear canal
- Provides the highest definition of sound quality
- Is designed for daily removal
In The Ear (ITE)
ITE hearing aids are custom-made and fit comfortably inside the ear. They are:
- Easy to insert into the ear because of their larger size
- Made with easy-to-operate larger features such as volume controls
- Used to help mild to severe hearing loss
Behind The Ear (BTE)
The BTE style sits behind the ear, while the amplified sound passes down a tube to a customized earmold that fits in your ear. This style:
- Typically offers more power than a custom-made hearing aid
- Is robust for active wears
- Is suitable for all degrees of hearing loss
- Is large, easy-to-use, and consistently reliable
Receiver In Canal (RIC)
RIC or open-ear hearing aids are the newest design to reduce or eliminate the echo or “plugged up” feeling wearers can sometimes experience (referred to as the occlusion effect). This style is easy to wear and barely noticeable. It:
- Fits a large range of hearing loss
- Offers the greatest flexibility in programming
- Is water-resistant and durable
