2. The RIC Hearing Aid
Not Your
Grandma’s BTE!

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. Because the receiver
has been removed, the
case that houses the
hearing aid is much
smaller and fits
discreetly behind the
ear.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. 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.
