(619) 569-1937 http://hearing-aids-san-diego-ca.com One of the most recent additions to the behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing aid style line is the receiver in the canal (RIC) hearing aid. Also known as receiver in the ear (RITE) hearing aids, these combine research and style into one digital device. Practically invisible, others may not know why you are hearing better.

Hearing Aids

3. One of the most recent additions
to the behind-the-ear hearing aid
style line is the receiver in the
canal hearing aid. Also known as
receiver in the ear hearing aids,
these combine research and
style into one digital device.

4. Sound quality has been
reported as the best of the
best. Many attribute this
improvement in quality of
sound to the deep speaker
placement in the outer ear
canal.

5. It is hard to distinguish an
open-fit BTE from RIC/RITE.
The two hearing aid styles
are very similar in
appearance with one major
exception.

6. In RIC hearing instruments,
a small wire runs along the
front of the ear and connects
to the receiver that fits
snugly into the ear canal,
instead of a thin tube
connecting the hearing aid
to the ear mold.

7. Open-fits must funnel
sound from the hearing aid
through the tube and into
the ear.

8. Hearing losses from mild to
severe can be accommodated
with a RIC aid. So small and
low profile, most people will
hardly notice them – even after
you let them know you are
wearing hearing aids!
