One popular type of hearing aid is the RITE (Receiver-in-the-ear) model. 

• Suited for mild to profound hearing loss
• All components are housed behind the ear with a clear tube leading to an earpiece that fits inside your ear
• Modern hearing devices are sleeker and slimmer than older versions and are great for people with dexterity challenges or visual impairment
• While modern behind-the-ear models are very discreet, they are not as invisible as in-the-ear hearing aids
• Feature powerful technology and typically have more feature options than in-the-ear hearing aids

There are five types of in-the-ear hearing aids, ranging from the invisible-in-the-canal to the full shell in-the-ear hearing aid:

• Suited for mild to severe hearing loss
• The smallest hearing aid style is virtually invisible inside the ear
• The full shell hearing aid style fits inside the outer bowl of the ear
• All types are custom-made to suit the shape of your ear, ensuring optimal comfort and sound quality
• Some models offer Bluetooth® technology so that you can stream sound from your phone, computer, or TV

Several hearing aid brands offer rechargeable hearing aid models. When you meet with one of our professionals, they can advise whether rechargeable hearing devices are a good fit for you.

Modern hearing devices are more discreet than ever before. In fact, many hearing aids are practically invisible. Designed to be especially discreet, the smallest variants of in-the-ear hearing aids are placed inside the ear canal. Examples of these include:

• Invisible-in-the-canal
• Completely-in-the-canal

• Hear phone conversations more clearly
• Listen to your favourite TV program at your own chosen volume setting
