Hearing Aid Styles
Here is a list of the most common hearing aid styles:
(hover over the images below to see a close-up of the device)
 Hover to interact | Receiver-in-the-Canal (RIC) RIC and RITE hearing aids are similar to behind-the-ear hearing aids except a tiny wire connects the pieces instead of tubing. This makes the device less visible. |
 Hover to interact | Open Fit Open-fit hearing aids are a variation of behind-the-ear hearing aids. This style keeps the ear canal open and allows low-frequency sound to enter the ear naturally. High-frequency sounds are amplified through the hearing aid. This style is good for mild to moderate hearing loss. |
 Hover to interact | Invisible-in-the-canal (IIC) Superior performance in the smallest size possible. |
 Hover to interact | Completely-in-the-canal (CIC) CIC hearing aids are molded to fit inside the ear canal. They are typically used to improve mild to moderate hearing loss in adults. |
 Hover to interact | In-the-canal (ITC) ITC hearing aids are custom molded and fit partly in the ear canal. They may include features that won’t fit on CIC hearing aids. |
 Hover to interact | In-the-ear (ITE) ITE hearing aids are custom made using two styles. One fills most of the bowl-shaped area of your outer ear. That is called a full shell. The other fills only the lower part of the ear and is called a half shell. Both styles treat mild to severe hearing loss. |
 Hover to interact | Behind-the-ear (BTE) BTE hearing aids hook over the top of your ear and rests behind the ear. Tubing connects the hearing aid to a custom earpiece or earmold that fits in the ear canal. This hearing aid is suitable for all ages and most types of hearing loss. |
 Hover to interact | CROS (Contralateral Routing of Signal) CROS hearing aids are a smart solution for single sided deafness. CROS features state-of-art- technology. You will immediately feel included in a conversation, regardless of the situation. No more having to position yourself so that everyone sits on your good side when you converse in the car or at intimate table for two! |
