1. The RIC Hearing Aid: Not Your Grandma’s BTE!
Once considered the least popular
hearing aid, the behind-the-ear
(BTE) hearing aid style has
undergone an astounding
metamorphosis, and nowhere is
this more evident than in the
widely-accepted receiver-in-the-
canal or RIC version of today’s
BTE.
Combining functionality with
versatility and style, the RIC hearing aid has a receiver outside
of the hearing instrument case which is placed at the end of a
tube inserted into the wearer’s ear canal. Because the receiver
has been removed, the case that houses the hearing aid is
much smaller and fits discreetly behind the ear.
As an added benefit, the thin wire housed inside the tube that
connects the receiver to the case and the ear insert piece that
houses the receiver are smaller than the diameter of the ear
canal. This helps eliminate occlusion, or that “talking in a
barrel” feeling.
The discreet receiver-in-canal style is certainly the way to go if
you want to experience comfortable, natural sound without
worrying about everyone noticing you are wearing a hearing
aid. But you may discover that the wide range of colors the
RIC hearing aid comes in are too vibrant to resist and that you
might enjoy telling others about your cool new hearing aid.
