• • Completely-in-Canal (CIC) Hearing Aids:

CIC hearing aids are nearly invisible as they sit deep within the ear canal.
They are suitable for mild to moderate hearing loss and provide a discreet option.

• • In-the-Canal (ITC) Hearing Aids:

ITC hearing aids are smaller than ITE models and fit partially in the ear canal, making them less visible.
They offer improved aesthetics and are suitable for mild to moderate hearing loss.

• • In-the-Ear (ITE) Hearing Aids:

ITE hearing aids fit completely inside the outer ear and are custom-moulded to the individual’s ear shape.
They are larger than in-the-canal models and can accommodate features like volume control and directional microphones.

• • Receiver-in-Canal (RIC) or Receiver-in-the-Ear (RITE) Hearing Aids:

Similar to BTE hearing aids, RIC/RITE models have a small device behind the ear connected to the ear canal by a thin wire.
They are less visible and provide a more natural sound due to the placement of the receiver directly in the ear.

• • Behind-the-Ear (BTE) Hearing Aids:

BTE hearing aids rest behind the ear and are connected to a custom earpiece or earmold that fits inside the ear canal.
They are suitable for a wide range of hearing losses and offer features like directional microphones, telecoil options, and connectivity.

It’s important to remember that when choosing a hearing aid, you need to consider the degree and type of hearing loss, lifestyle, personal preferences, and budget. That’s why consulting with an audiologist is essential to determine the most suitable type of hearing aid for your specific needs.
