RIC hearing aids are a new type of behind-the-ear hearing aid where the receiver is placed in the ear canal rather than having open tubes running to the ear. This placement of the receiver close to the eardrum improves sound quality over open-fit BTEs. RIC hearing aids are slim and discreet fitting a wide range of hearing losses from mild to severe. They are a great option for those concerned with the cosmetic appearance of traditional BTE hearing aids.
