Receiver-in-Canal (RIC) Hearing Aids
With the receiver placed in the ear canal and electronics behind the ear, RIC hearing aids (also called RITE, for Receiver-in-the-Ear) deliver a sleek profile and clear sound. Many include Bluetooth connectivity and rechargeable batteries.
Why Choose a RIC Hearing Aid?
By separating the receiver from the rest of the electronics, RIC hearing aids can be smaller and more discreet than traditional BTE models while still offering many of the same benefits, including strong battery life, wireless connectivity, and support for a wide range of hearing loss levels.
Pros and Cons
Pros
This type of hearing aid is great for all ages, as both the pieces can be replaced on an as-needed basis. Additionally, RIC (also called RITE, for Receiver-in-the-Ear) models are capable of powerful amplification, making them a good option for those with moderate to severe hearing loss.
Cons
RIC hearing aids are among the more visible devices, though manufacturers have been able to make them more discreet by making them smaller and offering colors that blend in with your hair.
