Hearing Aid Styles
Hearing aids are available in a variety of styles, each designed to address different hearing needs, preferences, and lifestyles. Explore the features and benefits of each style below to better understand how they work and who they’re best suited for. Your audiologist can help guide you toward the option that fits your hearing goals.
Behind the Ear (BTE) Hearing Aids
Worn comfortably behind the ear with a tube connecting to an earpiece, this style is durable, easy to handle, and suitable for a wide range of hearing losses.
Receiver in the Canal (RIC) Hearing Aids
A small, discreet style that sits behind the ear while the speaker rests in the ear canal, offering clear sound quality and a natural listening experience.
Invisible in the Canal (IIC) Hearing Aids
The most discreet option, IIC hearing aids fit deeply in the ear canal and are virtually invisible, designed for maximum cosmetic appeal.
Completely in the Canal (CIC) Hearing Aids
Custom-fit to sit deep in the ear canal, this style is barely visible and uses the ear’s natural shape to help improve sound direction.
In the Canal (ITC) Hearing Aids
Smaller than in-the-ear models, ITC hearing aids fit partly in the ear canal, providing a more discreet look while still being easy to use.
In the Ear (ITE) Hearing Aids
Custom-made to fit the outer ear, this style is easy to insert with powerful performance.
