Hearing Aid Styles
ITE (In-the-Ear), RIC (Receiver-In-Canal), BTE (Behind-the-Ear). Available in a variety of hair, skin, fashion and fun colours.
Together with your hearing care professional, you can decide which hearing aid will best suit your needs and preferences.
ITE (In-the-Ear)
ITE hearing aids are available as custom and extended wear models.
Custom models are individually crafted to your ear canal to fit perfectly and comfortably in your ears, providing absolute discretion. Extended wear models are completely invisible, worn around the clock with no hassle.
ITC (In-the-Canal)
ITCs are custom-made to fit almost entirely inside your ear canal, making them difficult to notice. ITCs are suitable for mild to moderately severe hearing losses.
IIC (Invisible-in-Canal)
Invisible-in-canal (IIC) hearing aids are the smallest custom hearing aids that are available. This kind of hearing aid is designed and sculpted to fit entirely insides your ear canal. This makes them almost invisible to those around you.
CIC (Completely-in-the-Canal)
CICs fit deep inside your ear canal so that they’re practically invisible. Benefits include cosmetic appeal, reduced feedback and excellent sound quality. CICs and IICs are suitable for mild to moderately severe hearing losses.
RIC (Receiver-in-Canal)
RIC models are small and slim, which makes them discreet. They literally disappear behind the ear and are very comfortable to wear.
BTE (Behind-the-Ear)
BTE models are often recommended for people with more significant hearing loss or when dexterity is limited. They sit comfortably behind the ear, are easy to handle and very robust.
Accessories
In addition to hearing aids, there are accessories available that can enhance your hearing aid experience. Examples of these are, remote controls, systems to connect to your television and amplified telephones.
