Receiver-In-Canal (RIC) Hearing Aid

Receiver-in-the-Canal (RIC) hearing aids are one of the most popular and versatile styles available today.

What Makes RIC Hearing Aids So Popular?

Sleek, Low-Profile Design

The main body of the device sits comfortably behind the ear, while a thin wire connects to a small speaker (receiver) placed inside your ear canal. This design offers a natural sound experience while remaining barely visible.

Rechargeable Options

Many of the latest RIC models come with built-in rechargeable batteries, so there’s no need to change fiddly batteries. Simply dock them overnight in a charging case – they’ll be ready to go all day. Great for those with dexterity issues or anyone wanting a more sustainable, fuss-free option.

Advanced Connectivity

Modern RIC hearing aids can stream calls, music, and TV sound directly from your smartphone or tablet. Whether you use an iPhone or Android device, wireless Bluetooth connectivity keeps you connected to what matters most.

Tailored to Your Needs

RICs are available in a variety of performance levels and can be precisely programmed to match your individual hearing loss. They are suitable for a wide range of hearing needs, from mild difficulties in noisy places to more complex losses requiring more power.

Comfort & Natural Sound

With an open fit and customisable domes or earmoulds, RICs offer excellent comfort and natural sound quality, especially for speech and environmental sounds.
