This style sits behind the ear, while the amplified sound passes down a tube to a customized ear mold which fits in your ear.
Receiver in canal (RIC)
The RIC is a much smaller behind-the-ear hearing aid, with a wide range of personalization.
In-the-ear (ITE)
Hearing aids are custom-made and fit comfortably inside the ear.
Completely-in-the-canal (CIC)
Micro-technology allows this type of hearing aid to be worn deep inside the ear canal. CICs are so tiny, they are almost invisible when worn.
