Receiver-In-Canal (RIC) hearing aids represent today’s most popular and least visible hearing aid solutions. The combination of advanced sound quality features, user-friendly comfort, and attractive design makes RIC devices an excellent, affordable hearing aid solution for people with various degrees of hearing loss, especially seniors and first-time users.
What is a RIC Hearing Aid?
RIC hearing aids use small behind-the-ear housing that connects to an ear canal receiver through a thin wire.

Open-fit technology improves ventilation between hearing aid components while blocking the blocked-in-ear sensation that causes discomfort with classic hearing aid devices.
