Receiver in Canal (RIC)
RIC hearing instruments are typically small and stylish instruments that are fitted behind the top of the ear.
These units are then attached to a slender fitted tube that is placed in the ear canal and held in place with a flexible silicon tip. These tips are normally fitted with large vents to allow as much natural sound into the ear as possible whilst still providing amplification where needed in a very targeted way.
Due to the size of these devices they tend to be fitted with few controls and many adapt automatically to varying sound environments. They are virtually invisible and very easy to use.
RIC hearing instruments are compatible with iPhone and Android applications and come in the rechargeable option.
Behind the ear (BTE)
Behind-the-ear hearing instruments fit comfortably behind the ear and are attached to an ear-mould to deliver the sound into the ear.
They are frequently used for more severe types of hearing losses. The design is flexible for use with telephones and assistive listening devices.
BTE hearing instruments are compatible with iPhone and Android applications and come in the rechargeable option.

Completely in the canal (IIC)
The smallest custom-made hearing instrument that fits almost invisibly into the ear. The IIC design offers increased amplification and improved performance while using the telephone, because the hearing instrument sits closer to the eardrum. Ear canal size and hearing levels will determine if this is a suitable option
In the ear (ITE, CIC and ITE)
These are custom hearing instruments ranging in size. Most hearing levels can be fitted with theses hearing instruments, but the audiologist will determine if they are suitable. The bigger instruments are usually used for individuals who struggle to handle smaller instruments

In the canal (ITC)
In-the-canal hearing instruments are small and easy to operate. Their custom-made design fits into the external section of the outer ear and makes them relatively unnoticeable and comfortable.
They come with the option of an adjustable volume control or a fully automatic version and cover a variety of hearing losses.
