Hearing Aid Styles Which One Is Right For You?
What style of hearing aid you choose has a lot to do with your specific loss and your lifestyle. If you are new to hearing aids, it can be difficult to distinguish between different styles of hearing aids and how they will look in your ears. Check out this quick guide to different hearing aid styles.
Behind-the-EarQ (BTE) Resting behind your ear, this device transfers sound through a small plastic tube to a tiny speaker that sits inside your ear canal.
Receiver-in-Canal (RIC) This device also rests behind your ear, but the sound receivers sit within your ear canal instead of inside the device unit. The part behind your ear simply contains the technology that processes sound.
In-the-Ear (ITE) To fit ITE hearing aids, your hearing healthcare provider will take a mold of your outer ear, and they will be custom-made just for you! These will sit completely inside your outer ear with nothing behind your ear.
In-the-Canal (ITC) Much like ITE hearing aids, these devices are made using a custom mold of your ear; however they sit farther in your canal, so they are less noticeable to others.
Completely-in-Canal (CIC) CIC devices are very small and molded to sit completely inside your ear canal. These devices will be appear to be invisible to others.
