Receiver-in-the-canal (RIC) The Receiver-in-canal style places the receiver directly in the ear canal near the eardrum. Microphones and power supply are cased in a sleek instrument worn hidden in the crease behind the ear. An extremely thin transmission wire connect the two components. |

 |
Behind-the-ear (BTE) BTE instruments have a plastic casing that rests behind the ear and houses the device's technology. A clear plastic tube then directs amplified sound into an earmold inside the ear canal. Behind-the-ear instruments are often the most durable hearing devices—a few are even waterproof. Compared to smaller, in-the-ear instruments, they hold more circuitry and offer greater amplification. |

|
 |
In-the-ear (ITE) Smaller, in-the-ear instruments house their technology components in a custom-formed earmold that fits within the outer portion of the ear. The easy-to-use controls are ideal for those with limited manual dexterity. |
|
|
 |
In-the-canal (ITC) In-the-canal (ITC) instruments are smaller still, featuring an earmold that fits down into the ear canal and a smaller portion that faces out into the outer ear. They are discreet, yet partially visible within the outer ear. |
|
|
 |
Completely-in-the-canal (CIC) These devices fit completely in the canal (CIC). Only the head of a tiny plastic line—with which you insert or remove the instrument—shows above the canal. Although CIC devices offer aesthetic appeal, the structure of some individuals' ears (e.g. those with a very narrow canal) may make this style unsuitable for them. |
|
|
 |
Invisible-in-the-canal (IIC) These devices rest in the second bend of the ear canal, making them invisible when worn. |
|
|
|
AMP These devices are completely invisible in most ears and are designed especially for first-time hearing aid users. They are easy to remove for better ear health. |
