Standard

Behind the Ear (BTE)

  • BTE instruments have a plastic casing that rests behind the ear and houses the device's technology. A clear plastic tube then directs amplified sound into an earmold inside the ear canal.
  • Behind-the-ear instruments are often the most durable hearing devices — some are even completely water resistant.
  • Compared to smaller, in-the-ear instruments, they hold more circuitry and can provide greater amplification.
  • Appropriate for most types of hearing loss

Mini Behind the Ear

Mild Hearing Loss

The mini BTE rests behind the ear. The case at the back of the ear houses the technology, while a clear tube then directs amplified sound into the ear canal via an earmold or earbud.

  • Features React Touch Control Technology, allowing you to change the hearing aid volume up and down and adjust settings to match your environment with the simple sweep or touch of a finger
  • Smallest BTE model
  • Available with thin tubing and a tiny earbud for ultimate discretion
  • Appropriate for most types of hearing loss and ages

Receiver-In-Canal (RIC)

Mild Hearing Loss

The receiver-in-canal device is small, discreet and incredibly quick to fit; which makes it perfect for many first-time wearers.

  • The receiver-in-canal is designed to separate the microphone and receiver to lessen feedback.
  • Appropriate for mild to moderate hearing loss

Receiver-In-Canal Max Power (RIC)

Severe Hearing Loss Solution
  • The Receiver-In-Canal Max Power provides the power you need with the sophisticated, discreet look of a RIC.
  • The Max Power is a receiver-in-canal device attached to a small earmold that fits completely in the ear canal.
  • Appropriate for severe to profound hearing loss

In-The-Ear (ITE)

Moderate Hearing Loss
  • Smaller, in-the-ear instruments house their technology components in a custom-formed ear mold that fits within the outer portion of the ear.
  • The easy-to-use controls are ideal for those with limited manual dexterity.
  • Appropriate for mild to severe hearing loss

In-The-Canal (ITC)

Moderate Hearing Loss
  • In-the-canal (ITC) instruments feature an earmold that fits down into the ear canal and a smaller portion that faces out into the outer ear.
  • They are discreet, yet partially visible within the outer ear.
  • Appropriate for mild to mildly severe hearing loss.

Completely-In-Canal (CIC)

Moderate Hearing Loss
  • Nearly invisible when worn.
  • These fit completely in the canal, with only the head of a tiny plastic line—with which you insert or remove the instrument—shows above the canal.
  • CIC devices offer aesthetic appeal, but the structure of some individuals' ears (e.g. those with a very narrow canal) may make this style unsuitable for them.
  • Appropriate for mild to moderate hearing loss.
