Receiver in Canal

The receiver in the canal (RIC) hearing aids are our best selling model due to its discrete size and natural sound quality. Sitting comfortably behind the ear, the microphone is housed in the outer case with a very thin tube running into a receiver which sit within the ear canal. RICs offer crisp quality sound which travels directly into the ear canal.

RICs offer a wide range of benefits including great connectivity to everyday devices such as smartphones and TVs. Rechargeable options make wearing RICs super easy and convenient.
