Hearing Aids
Behind-the-Ear (BTE) Hearing Aids
BTE hearing aids sit comfortably behind the ear. A thin tube or earmold carries the sound into the ear canal.
The electronics are housed in the case behind the ear, keeping the device powerful and easy to maintain.
Best For:
Mild to profound hearing loss
People of all ages, including children
Receiver-in-Canal (RIC) or Receiver-in-the-Ear (RITE) Hearing Aids
A variation of BTE, but the speaker (receiver) is placed inside the ear canal. Only the microphone and amplifier sit behind the ear.
Best For:
Mild to severe hearing loss
People wanting a discreet yet powerful option
In-the-Ear (ITE) Hearing Aids
Custom-made to fit the shape of your outer ear (the bowl of the ear). Everything — microphone, amplifier, receiver — is housed in one shell.
Best For:
Mild to severe hearing loss
Adults looking for easier handling without behind-the-ear parts
In-the-Canal (ITC) Hearing Aids
Sits partly in the ear canal. Custom-molded for a snug, discreet fit.
Best For:
Mild to moderate hearing loss
Users wanting something less visible than ITE
