RIC (Receiver in the canal)

RIC hearing aid is rest behind the outer ear, just like BTE hearing aids. This type of hearing aid is traditionally smaller, lighter and more discreet than a BTE, but not powerful enough for wearers with profound hearing loss. The receiver-in-canal ( RIC) style is an open fit hearing aid that sits behind your ear and feeds sound through a thin tube that connects to your ear canal. It's one of the smallest types of behind-the-ear.
