Types Of Hearing Aids
Find the Perfect Fit for Your Lifestyle
There are different types of hearing aids available, each designed to suit various levels of hearing loss and personal preferences. Here are the most common types:
Receiver-in-Canal (RIC) Hearing Aids
RIC devices sit behind the ear but are smaller than traditional BTE aids. The receiver (or speaker) is placed inside the ear canal, delivering high-quality sound. These are popular for their natural sound quality and are often recommended for those with mild to severe hearing loss.
Behind-the-Ear (BTE) Hearing Aids
BTE hearing aids are worn behind the ear and are connected to an earpiece that fits inside the ear canal. They are suitable for all types of hearing loss and provide great power and versatility. These devices are easy to handle and often come with rechargeable battery options.
In-the-Ear (ITE) Hearing Aids
ITE hearing aids are custom-molded to fit completely inside your ear. These are more discreet than BTE models and are suitable for mild to moderate hearing loss. Because of their placement, they are less visible, making them a great choice for those seeking a more subtle option.
In-the-Canal (ITC) Hearing Aids
ITC hearing aids are slightly larger than CIC models but still fit mostly inside the ear canal. They offer a balance between discretion and functionality and are a good option for those with mild to moderate hearing loss who want a device that’s easy to handle while still being less visible.
Invisible-in-the-Canal (IIC) Hearing Aids
IIC hearing aids are the smallest and most discreet option available. They are placed even deeper in the ear canal than CIC aids, making them completely invisible when worn. These are suitable for mild to moderate hearing loss, but their tiny size can limit battery life and advanced features.
Completely-in-the-Canal (CIC) Hearing Aids
CIC hearing aids are custom-molded to fit deep inside the ear canal, making them nearly invisible. They are ideal for mild to moderate hearing loss and are popular with those who prefer a discreet option. However, due to their small size, they may lack some of the advanced features found in larger models.
