What are RIC Hearing Aids?
RIC hearing aids (Receiver-in-Canal) are among the most popular and advanced types of hearing aids today. Unlike traditional Behind-the-Ear (BTE) models, RICs place the speaker (receiver) directly in the ear canal while the main body sits comfortably behind the ear, connected by a thin wire.

FAQs About Receiver-in-Canal (RIC) Hearing Aids
RIC hearing aids have a small device that sits behind the ear, with a thin wire connecting to a speaker (receiver) placed inside the ear canal. This design offers a natural sound experience and is among the most popular hearing aid types today.
In RIC hearing aids, the speaker sits inside the ear canal, while in BTE aids, both the microphone and speaker are behind the ear. This separation in RIC aids often leads to clearer sound and less feedback.
RIC hearing aids are suitable for people with mild to severe hearing loss. Their versatility and comfort make them a top choice for most first-time hearing aid users.
Discreet and lightweight design, superior sound quality with open-fit comfort, suitability for a wide range of hearing losses, often including Bluetooth, rechargeability, and tinnitus masking features.
They are discreet but not invisible. The device sits behind the ear, but the wire is very thin and barely noticeable.
Yes, most modern RIC hearing aids offer Bluetooth connectivity for calls and media streaming, and many models are rechargeable with all-day battery life.
Yes. RIC hearing aids are user-friendly, comfortable, and often easier to handle than very small in-ear models. Rechargeable versions also reduce the hassle of frequent battery changes.
