Fitting Styles
Receiver In Canal (RIC) hearing aids combine a discreet behind-the-ear design with advanced technology. These popular devices offer an ideal balance of performance, comfort, and discretion.
RIC hearing aids feature a small housing behind your ear containing the microphones, connected to a thin wire that curves over your ear. The wire leads to a dome with the receiver (speaker) that sits in your ear canal - hence the name "receiver in canal."
As our audiologists explain, "RIC hearing aids deliver exceptional comfort and ease of use. Their versatile design combines discretion with advanced technology, making them suitable for various types of hearing loss."
The small size ensures minimal visibility while remaining lightweight and comfortable
Most models feature Bluetooth technology for direct streaming of calls, music, and TV audio

The microphones in the behind-ear housing collect sound and convert it to electrical signals. These signals travel down the thin wire to the receiver in your ear canal's dome. This unique configuration, placing the speaker closer to your eardrum, delivers exceptional sound quality.
