Whether you are planning to buy a new hearing device for the first time or change your out-of-date instrument for a modern one, we provide you with comprehensive information related to the latest hearing aid types and styles, highlighting pros and cons so that you can observe the difference to the fullest.

Receiver-in-Canal (RIC)

Receiver-in-canal (RIC) hearing aids, sometimes called receiver-in-the-ear (RITE) hearing aids, can be worn with confidence by people of all ages and with any degree of hearing loss. The bulk of the hearing aid sits tucked behind the ear with only a thin wire visible going over the top of your ear into the tiny speaker that is hidden inside the ear. RIC hearing aids are the most versatile and offer numerous special features, such as smartphone connectivity via Bluetooth, and availability in battery and rechargeable options. Some RIC’s can even be adjusted remotely, alleviating the need to come into the office for a simple adjustment.

In-the-Ear (ITE)

show details

This small hearing aid style is suitable for users with mild to severe hearing loss. Typically, the ITE instruments are individually manufactured for every client based on your hearing needs and the results of your hearing test. With ITE hearing aids, you can enjoy conversation in any environment, including entertainment centers and busy restaurants. Moreover, wind noise won’t ever bother you again. However, you can experience difficulties while putting in and taking out this device. Other cons include short battery life and less durability.

Behind-the-Ear (BTE)

These durable and powerful instruments are used for all degrees of hearing impairment, from mild to profound. They feature a long battery life and provide excellent understanding of speech in the noisiest environments, including Formula One racetracks and symphony orchestra concerts. Those who are seeking a more discreet device might be disappointed since BTEs are larger and slightly more uncomfortable than other styles of hearing aids.
