In The Ear (ITE) Hearing aids

ITE hearing aids can be worn inside the ear canal. They typically custom-fitted from an impression taken by an Audiologist during the course of the hearing aid trial and selection. They are usually available in various colors to be able to blend in with the external ear. Certain ITE hearing aids fit deep within the ear canal. others are closer to the outside of the of the ear.

Hearing aids that fall under this group include ITE (In the ear), ITC (In the canal), CIC (Completely in the canal) and IIC (Invisible in the canal) hearing aids.

Behind The Ear (BTE) hearing aids

BTE hearing aids can be placed behind or over the ear/pinna, with tubing that directs the sound downwards to the ear canal using an earmold that is custom-made or an ear tip that is universal and doesn't block the opening of the ear canal. BTE designs are available in a variety of colors to complement skin or hair color.

Receiver In the Canal (RIC) hearing aids

Receiver in the canal hearing aids is the modification of BTE hearing aids.In RIC hearing aids, the receiver portion of the hearing aid is placed out of the casing of the hearing aid. A thin tube connects the Hearing aid's enclosure to the hearing aid's receiver that is then placed inside an ear canal with a custom ear mold or a dome. By using a wax filter/guard, receiver is shielded from ear wax as well as other infections or other particles.

If you're using ITE or BTE hearing aids, majority of these hearing aids have batteries that are standard and need to be replaced every six to fifteen days dependent on the size of the battery as well as the how often the hearing aid is used in terms of hours per day.

Presently, several hearing aid manufacturers are providing BTE and RIC hearing aids with rechargeable batteries (lithium – ion).
