Advantages of having a Receiver in Canal Aids

  • Smaller and more discreet: By moving the speaker out of the main casing, the portion that sits behind the ear can be made much smaller and less noticeable.
  • More natural sound quality: Because the receiver is closer to the eardrum, sound doesn’t have to travel as far through a tube, which can result in a more natural and clear sound experience. It also allows for a more “open” fit in the ear canal, reducing the feeling of occlusion (your ear feeling blocked).
  • Reduced feedback: Separating the microphone (behind the ear) from the speaker (in the ear canal) helps to minimise the whistling or squealing sound known as feedback.
  • Versatility: RIC aids are suitable for a wide range of hearing losses, from mild to severe, and often incorporate advanced features like Bluetooth connectivity and rechargeable batteries.
