Why Receiver in canal became the default

A RIC hearing aid splits the device in two. The processor sits behind your ear, and a thin wire carries the signal to a receiver placed inside your ear canal. Putting the speaker that close to the eardrum gives a more natural sound with less tubing colour, and it lets the visible part shrink to something genuinely small.

That combination is why receiver in canal is now the default fitting for most adults. It covers mild through severe loss, comes rechargeable in almost every current model, and is usually the first style to carry a brand's newest processing.

Because the receiver sits in your canal, earwax reaches it, so a filter needs changing now and then. It is a two minute job we show you at your fitting.

Questions buyers ask us

Both sit behind the ear, but a RIC puts its speaker inside your ear canal instead of pushing sound down a tube. That makes it smaller and more natural sounding. A BTE keeps everything behind the ear and reaches higher power.
