About This Type:
You are no doubt familiar with rechargeable, lithium-ion batteries from other electronics around your house, like your smartphone or laptop. Now this technology is available in some of the latest hearing devices.
No more fiddling with batteries constantly. Every night, just place your hearing devices in the charger, and in the morning, they’re ready to go for a full day. This battery has a high energy density, which means its small size packs a lot of power — with a short charge time, you get over 24 hours of continuous power, even with some* audio streaming from a mobile device.
The battery is sealed up inside your hearing aid, so it’s protected from moisture and dust. Plus, the typical life span of a lithium-ion battery is around the same life span as your hearing instruments, so you don’t have to worry about getting the battery replaced.
Receiver in the Canal
Reliable, convenient, lightweight, and flexible.
Receiver-in-Canal Hearing Aid Style
Reliable and convenient, the receiver-in-canal device has a lightweight feel and a flexible fit, and it is among our most popular systems.
- Wireless Bluetooth® options available
- Lightweight unit with comfortable earpieces
- Open fitting makes for a more comfortable, natural sound
- Among the most popular styles
About This Type:
With a comfortable, open-fit design that’s perfect for almost all types of hearing loss, our receiver-in-canal (RIC) devices make better hearing a breeze.
Although the speaker and microphone are both located on the shell of RIC devices, the speaker is fed into the ear canal with a comfortable, flexible dome that allows sound to pass through the ear canal naturally.
These open fittings reduce wind noise and feedback.
Although RIC devices sit behind the ear, the small, sleek design means that they’re barely visible when worn, and they help provide clear, confident communication.
With our RIC devices, hearing is as natural and effortless as possible.

These units are also available as miniature versions.
