Receiver-In-The-Ear Styles (RITE, RIC)

Receiver-In-The-Ear (RITE) – sometimes also called Receiver-In-The-Canal (RIC) – hearing instruments include a case that sits behind your ear.

But unlike traditional Behind-The-Ear (BTE) devices, the receiver (or “loudspeaker”) piece goes inside your ear. This allows these devices to be smaller than BTEs.

Receiver-in-the-Canal Features:

• Available in mini or micro sizes
• All components except receiver contained in a case worn behind the ear
• Sound directed into the ear canal through receiver unit
• Can be fit with standard domes or custom earmolds
• Virtually unnoticeable when worn
• For mild to severe hearing losses
• Variety of color options available
