Types of Hearing Aids: How to Choose the Right One
Behind-the-Ear (BTE), Receiver-in-Canal (RIC) and custom In-the-Ear (ITE/IIC) invisible models compared.
Receiver-in-Canal (RIC) Models
The most popular style in the UK today. The discreet body sits behind the ear while an ultra-thin wire connects to a miniature receiver placed directly inside the ear canal, delivering clear, natural sound.
Behind-the-Ear (BTE) Models
Ideal for severe to profound hearing loss, offering maximum amplification power, durable construction and extended battery performance.
Custom In-the-Ear (ITE / CIC / IIC) Models
Custom-moulded to your exact ear canal shape for supreme discretion, suitable for mild to moderate hearing losses.
