Hearing Aids

Receiver-In-Canal (RIC)
The receiver-in-canal device is small, discreet, and incredibly quick to fit; perfect for many first-time wearers.

Receiver-In-Canal Absolute Power (RIC AP)
The receiver-in-canal Absolute Power instrument combines a custom-formed earmold with the sleek, sophisticated receiver-in-canal instrument allowing people with even the most severe hearing loss to enjoy style without sacrificing power and performance.

Behind the Ear
BTE instruments' technology is housed in a casing that rests behind the ear. A clear plastic tube then directs amplified sound into an earmold inside the ear canal.

Completely-In-Canal (CIC)
These devices fit completely in the canal. Only the head of a tiny plastic line—with which you insert or remove the instrument—shows above the canal.

In-The-Canal (ITC)
In-the-canal instruments feature an earmold that fits down into the ear canal and a smaller portion that faces out into the outer ear.

In-The-Ear (ITE)
In-the-ear instruments house the technology components in a custom-formed earmold that fits within the outer portion of the ear.

Trial Period

The 30 Trial Period is as important as the hearing evaluation. This is the time when you evaluate your new hearing aids where it matters most, your everyday life. If you choose to try hearing aids, you can do so without worrying about throwing good money out the window for something you aren’t happy with. We will be with you every step of the way to assist you in making a good transition to better hearing. If, for whatever reason, you decide not to keep your hearing aids you can return them without hassle.
