Hearing Aids

Hearing Aid Types

With so many options available, it can be overwhelming to determine which style of hearing aid is right for you. Your audiologist will walk you through the different styles of hearing aids and their unique features, helping you make an informed decision on which type is most suitable for your hearing needs and preferences.

Mini-BTE or Open-Ear Hearing Aids

These hearing aids sit behind the ear, connected to a thin wire and ear piece placed in the ear canal. They are easy to wear and discrete. They are sometimes called Receiver-In-Canal (RIC) or Receiver-In-The-Ear (RITE).

In-The-Ear (ITE)

These custom-made hearing aids fit comfortably inside the ear.

In-The-Canal (ITC)

These custom-made hearing aids fit comfortably inside the ear and are smaller than the ITE style.

Completely-in-the-Canal (CIC)

These small and discrete hearing aids are custom made to fit deep inside the ear canal.

Behind-The-Ear (BTE)

These hearing aids sit behind the ear, and amplified sounds pass down a tube to a customized earmold which fits in your ear.
