Options & Lifestyles

Finding Your
Perfect Fit

There is no "best" hearing aid in the world. There is only the best hearing aid for you. Your lifestyle, hearing loss, and dexterity guide our recommendation.

RIC Receiver-In-Canal

The "Open" Choice (RIC)

Most Popular

The Receiver-In-Canal (RIC) is the modern standard for a reason. A tiny case sits behind your ear, connected by a near-invisible wire to a speaker in your ear canal.

Because your ear canal remains open, you hear your own voice naturally and don't feel "plugged up."

Best For:

  • • Mild to Severe hearing loss
  • • High-frequency loss
  • • First-time users

Why People Love It:

  • • Natural sound quality
  • • Rechargeable options
  • • Bluetooth connectivity
IIC Invisible-In-Canal

The Discreet Choice (IIC)

Custom-molded to fit deep inside your ear canal, these are virtually undetectable to others. They use your ear's natural shape to funnel sound.

Best For:

  • • Mild to Moderate loss
  • • Active lifestyles
  • • Cosmetic priority

Considerations:

  • • Uses small batteries (not rechargeable)
  • • Requires good dexterity to handle
BTE Behind-The-Ear

The Power Choice (BTE)

Robust and powerful. All components sit in a durable case behind the ear, with sound delivered through a custom earmold.

Best For:

  • • Severe to Profound loss
  • • Children (durable / adaptable)
  • • Issues with ear wax or moisture

Why People Love It:

  • • Maximum volume & battery life
  • • Very easy to handle & clean
  • • Robust reliability
