Behind-the-Ear (BTE)
- BTE instruments have a plastic casing that rests behind the ear and houses the device's technology. A clear plastic tube then directs amplified sound into an earmold inside the ear canal.
- Behind-the-ear instruments are often the most durable hearing devices — some are even completely water resistant.
- Compared to smaller, in-the-ear instruments, they hold more circuitry and can provide greater amplification.
- Appropriate for most types of hearing loss
Receiver in Canal (RIC)
- The receiver-in-canal device is small, discreet and incredibly quick to fit; which makes it perfect for many first-time wearers.
- The receiver-in-canal is designed to separate the microphone and receiver to lessen feedback.
- Appropriate for mild to moderate hearing loss
In-The-Ear (ITE)
- Smaller, in-the-ear instruments house their technology components in a custom-formed ear mold that fits within the outer portion of the ear.
- The easy-to-use controls are ideal for those with limited manual dexterity.
- Appropriate for mild to severe hearing loss
In-The-Canal (ITC)
- In-the-canal (ITC) instruments feature an earmold that fits down into the ear canal and a smaller portion that faces out into the outer ear.
- They are discreet, yet partially visible within the outer ear.
- Appropriate for mild to mildly severe hearing loss.
Completely-In-Canal (CIC)
- Nearly invisible when worn.
- These fit completely in the canal, with only the head of a tiny plastic line—with which you insert or remove the instrument—shows above the canal.
- CIC devices offer aesthetic appeal, but the structure of some individuals’ ears (e.g. those with a very narrow canal) may make this style unsuitable for them.
- Appropriate for mild to moderate hearing loss.
Invisible-In-The-Canal (IIC)
- Fits invisibly* in your inner ear
- Designed especially for first-time hearing aid users
- Is ready to wear in one visit
- Is easy to remove for better ear health
