Receiver-in-the-canal (RIC) 

Receiver-in-the-canal hearing aids (often called RIC) are hearing aids worn behind the ear with a speaker (the "receiver") that sits inside the ear canal. RIC hearing aids are one of the most popular styles, as they are very discreet and fit a broad range of hearing loss (from mild to severe). 

In-the-ear (ITE) 

In-the-ear hearing aids (ITE) are among the most discreet hearing aid styles available. They have no external wires or tubes visible. They are all custom-made, ensuring a perfect fit and a discreet look. 

Behind-the-ear (BTE) 

A behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing aid hooks over the top of your ear and rests behind the ear. A tube connects the hearing aid to a custom earpiece called an ear mold that fits in your ear canal. They are suitable for mild to profound hearing loss. 

Lyric 

Lyric is a unique hearing aid, which is available at Triton Hearing I Lyric was designed to fit deep into the ear canal. It is invisible and can be worn 24 hours per day, seven days a week for months at a time.¹ Lyric fits mild to moderately-severe hearing loss.  

Phonak Naída Link M 

Naída Link M is a powerful behind-the-ear hearing aid designed for severe-to-profound hearing loss. This unique bimodal hearing aid can be paired with an Advanced Bionics sound processor if your patients hearing loss progresses, and they require a cochlear implant. Combining the benefits of a hearing aid in one ear and a hearing implant in the other ear is known as bimodal hearing, and it’s scientifically shown that this combination results in significantly higher speech understanding and sound quality than provided by the cochlear implant or a hearing aid alone.²
