Hearing Aids
Hearing aid styles & types
Hearing aids come in several shapes and sizes. Here's a simple guide to the main styles — we'll help you choose the one that's most comfortable and effective for you.
Receiver-in-canal (RIC)
The most popular style today — small, discreet, and comfortable, sitting behind the ear with a thin wire into the canal. Great for most hearing losses.
Behind-the-ear (BTE)
A dependable, easy-to-handle style that rests behind the ear. Powerful and well suited to a wide range of hearing losses and dexterity needs.
In-the-ear (ITE)
Custom-molded to fill the outer ear. Easy to insert and handle, with room for helpful features and longer battery life.
In-the-canal (ITC / CIC)
Smaller custom styles that sit further into the ear canal for a more discreet look while still being easy to manage.
Invisible (IIC)
The most discreet option, sitting deep in the canal so it's essentially invisible. Best for mild to moderate hearing loss.
Rechargeable
Available across many styles — no tiny batteries to change. Just set them on the charger overnight and go.
