Receiver-In-Canal (RIC)

Receiver-In-Canal (RIC) devices are designed to widen the distance between microphone and receiver, thereby lessening feedback. But only the RIC comes with best-in-class WhistleFree Feedback Cancellation, the industry’s top-rated feedback canceller.

• Offers a discreet open-fit solution

• Appropriate for mild to moderate hearing loss

Receiver-In-Canal Power Solution

The Receiver-In-Canal Power Solution provides the power you need with the sophisticated, discreet look of a RIC. The Power Solution is a receiver-in-canal device attached to a small earmold that fits completely in the ear canal.

• Offers a discreet option with the power you need

• Appropriate for severe to profound hearing loss

Completely-In-Canal (CIC)

Completely-In-Canal (CIC) instruments are the smallest and most discreet instruments available. CICs are custom designed to fit entirely in the ear canal, improving sound quality and reducing feedback. CICs are popular for their aesthetic appeal, but the physiology of some people’s ears may make the style unsuitable for them.

• Nearly invisible for complete discretion

• Appropriate for mild to moderate hearing loss

• Used in adults exclusively

In-The-Canal (ITC)

In-The-Canal (ITC) instruments are custom designed to fit in the ear canal. ITCs are discreet, yet still slightly visible within the outer ear. ITC instruments offer a variety of circuit choices that would have previously required a larger instrument.

• Less visible than BTE or ITE

• Appropriate for mild to mildly severe hearing loss

• Variety of circuit choices despite small size

In-The-Ear (ITE)

In-The-Ear (ITE) instruments house a variety of circuit options in a custom-made shell that fits in the outer portion of the ear. Their size and easy-to-use controls may be helpful for people with limited dexterity.

• Easy to insert and adjust

• Appropriate for mild to severe hearing loss

• Custom-made shell fits snugly in ear

Behind-The-Ear (BTE)

Behind-The-Ear (BTE) hearing instruments are the largest models. They can house a variety of circuit options and amplify sounds to a greater degree than most custom models. BTEs work by sending sound to the ear canal via the earmold and clear plastic tubing, which has been molded to fit comfortably in the outer ear area.

• Easiest to adjust and maintain

• Appropriate for most types of hearing loss

• Secure fit with minimal passageway obstruction
