In-The-Ear Hearing aids can be categorized further based on their size and features as ITE (In-The-Ear, In-The-Canal, Completely-In the-Canal and Invisible In the Canal). For you to get a thorough understanding the subcategories are explained below.
-
This is the world’s most common hearing aid style. Available in two levels of power to accommodate a wide range of hearing losses. The BTE hearing aid is usually coupled to the ear with a custom made ear mold. Certain devices also have the thin tube option to suit the different configurations of hearing loss.

miniRITE sits discreetly behind the ear and is our smallest behind-the-ear hearing aid. A tiny speaker attached to a thin, almost invisible wire fits comfortably in the ear. This style of hearing aid has become even more popular than CIC hearing aids in foreign countries such as the USA.
-
This type of hearing aid is the largest of the hearing aids that fit inside the ears. They sit visibly in the ear, rather than just in the ear canal. Because they are larger than the other hearing aids that fit inside your ear, they can accommodate more advanced technology, long-lasting batteries, and larger controls such as a wheel to adjust the volume. They are easier to handle for people who face dexterity challenges.
-
It sits in the ear canal but is not as small as completely in the canal devices. However, these are more discreet than ITE devices.
-
It sits completely inside the ear canal and is hard to see – but not entirely hidden. These are more discreet than ITC devices. CIC hearing aids require greater dexterity to handle as they are quite small and have very small batteries.
-
These hearing aids are so small that they sit inside the ear canal where no one can see them. A pull out string is used to insert as well as remove IIC hearing aids. Candidacy for IIC hearing aids also depends upon the size of your ear canals and ones ability to manipulate very small devices.
-
Slightly larger than the classic BTE, this hearing aid is designed for patients who find BTE instruments not powerful enough, but a super power hearing aid too loud.
