Hearing Aid Types
BEHIND THE EAR
If you have a severe hearing loss or small ear canals, behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing aids are a great solution. In the BTE hearing aid, all electronic components are tucked neatly in a shell or housing behind your ear and you can choose from a large range of sizes, shapes and colours.
COMPLETELY IN CANAL (CIC)
Which hearing aid is right depends on many factors, including desired features, your ear anatomy, specific lifestyle needs, budget, cosmetic appeal and more. Custom hearing aids, for instance, are a great choice right now as they won't get tangled or pulled off when wearing or removing face masks.

IN THE EAR (ITE)
In-the-ear (ITE) hearing aids are small like an eartip and sit in the outer portion of the ear canal. Depending on the size of the ear canal, the ITE hearing aid is relatively discreet. When you are fitted for an ITE hearing aid, the shell of the hearing aid is custom-made to fit the shape of your ear.

RECEIVER IN THE CANAL (RIC)
RICs are a type of open-fit hearing aid that use a thin plastic “micro” tube that extends from the body of the hearing aid (housed behind the ear) over the outer ear and into the ear canal. A small, soft tip sits inside the ear canal without sealing it.
