1
Behind-the-Ear (BTE)
A BTE aid sits behind the ear and connects to a custom-made earmold through a small tube to deliver sounds in the ear canal. This model works well for people of all ages and can treat most hearing loss types.
2
Receiver-in-Canal (RIC) and Receiver-in-the-Ear (RITE)
The RIC and RITE aids work similarly to the BTE devices, but are less visible as the speaker is located in the ear canal. They offer a more natural listening experience and come in rechargeable options.
3
In-the-Ear (ITE)
ITE aids are seated in the outer ear and are available in different sizes. They are suitable for eyeglass wearers and are more discreet. ITE aids are custom-made for comfortable fits and offer great sound amplification.
4
In-the-Canal (ITC)
ITC aids provide custom fittings for comfortable placement inside the ear canal. These are suitable for treating mild to severe hearing loss. ITC models are sleeker and more discreet than ITE aids and must be placed correctly.
5
Completely-in-the-Canal (CIC)
CIC models are custom-moulded to fit your unique ear canal shape and size. Their deep placement inside the ear canal delivers a naturally funnelled sound, reducing the impact of feedback and wind noises.
6
Invisible-in-the-Canal (IIC)
Being the least visible models, IIC aids sit deep inside the ear canal, close to the eardrum. Due to their small size, they have limited battery life and are prone to earwax clogging. They are most suitable for people with cosmetic preferences.
