RIC Hearing Aids

One of the superior modern innovations in behind the ear (BTE) hearing aids is the receiver in the canal hearing instrument. This digital hearing device is one of the most discreet units available. These devices are also often called receiver in the ear (RITE) aids, these digital hearing instruments are noted to improve perceived sound quality over similar open-fit BTE aids. If you are interested in hearing better with style, RICs may be right for you!

Comparable to the customary and open-fit BTE models, RICs sit on the top of the outer visible portion of the ear. RICs are low profile, sleek, and discreet BTE options. Unlike their open-fit and customary counterparts, RICs are not coupled to an ear piece by means of thin, long tubing and the speaker system is not located in the section of the aid that sits on top of the ear. With RICs the speaker system is positioned inside of a small dome tip or custom ear piece that sits in the outer ear canal. The receiver is connected to the aid behind the ear by means of coated wiring. Deeper placement of the speaker system in the outer ear canal is one of the reasons for improved, more natural sound quality!
