Receiver-In-Canal (RIC)
Small, discreet and quick to fit. Ideal for first-time hearing aid users.
Pros
- Typically smaller and more discreet than a BTE
- It can be worn as “open fit,” which produces a better ‘more natural sound quality’ of the wearer’s voice.
- The larger size model has the advantage of increased durability and allows for more features to be programmed – rechargeable options are available in select styles.
To Consider
- Quick to fit (can take home the same day)
- Less discreet than custom styles
- Speaker is more susceptible to earwax and moisture clogging
Are Receiver-In-Canal hearing aids right for you?
Many factors influence which hearing aid is best for you, such as desired features, ear anatomy, specific lifestyle needs, budget, cosmetic appeal, and more. It is best to consult with a hearing specialist to determine the best style for you.
