Receiver-In-the-Canal (RIC)

RIC models sit comfortably behind the ear while the receiver is located at the end of a thin earwire, producing a superior listening experience with a discreet look. They come in a variety of designs, including a very slim style.

BTE models are some of the most common, due to their versatility and wide range of functions. They sit behind the ear, and a thin clear tube enters the ear. They are easy to remove and clean.
