Experienced hearing care professionals recommend hearing aid types based on your hearing loss severity, aesthetic preferences, lifestyle, and budget.
Most behind-the-ear (BTE) and receiver-in-canal (RIC) styles offer various colors and metallic finishes to blend with your hair or skin tone. Individual results vary, and invisibility depends on ear anatomy.
Hearing aid technology evolves rapidly, delivering sleeker, more discreet, and comfortable devices. Consult regularly about new models that may perfectly align with your needs.
This custom-fit model sits deep in the ear canal, remaining completely invisible when worn. Designed for daily removal to support ear health, it's ideal for mild to moderate hearing loss.
Custom-molded to fit fully in the ear canal, only a small plastic handle remains visible for insertion and removal. Best for mild to moderate hearing loss.
Like CICs, ITC hearing aids are custom-fit for the ear canal, with a small portion visible. Suitable for mild to moderately severe hearing loss.
Custom-made to fill the outer ear, ITE models accommodate mild to severe hearing loss.
Barely noticeable, RIC styles place the receiver in the canal, connected by thin wires that minimize distortion for a natural, open fit. Ideal for mild to moderate hearing loss.
The core technology sits in a case behind the ear, with a clear tube directing sound to a custom earmold in the canal. Effective for moderate to severe hearing loss.
