Types of Hearing Aids You Can Try at Audiologiska

Below is an overview of the most common types of hearing aids you can try at Audiologiska.

Behind-the-Ear (BTE)

Behind-the-ear hearing aids sit comfortably behind the ear and are connected to a custom earmold or a small dome in the ear canal.

Why patients like them:

• Suitable for mild to severe hearing loss

• Easy to handle and adjust

• Durable and reliable

• Often offer longer battery life

BTE hearing aids are a popular choice for patients who want robust performance and flexibility. They may be visible, but today’s designs are slim and discreet — and most people notice how well you hear, not what’s behind your ear.

Receiver-in-Canal (RIC)

RIC hearing aids are one of the most common choices today. The main body sits behind the ear, while the receiver (speaker) is placed inside the ear canal.

Why patients like them:

• Very natural sound quality

• Discreet and lightweight

• Comfortable for all-day wear

• Suitable for many types of hearing loss

RIC models offer a great balance between performance and comfort. They are often the first choice for patients who want advanced technology without a bulky design.

In-the-Ear (ITE)

In-the-ear hearing aids are custom-made to fit directly inside the ear. They are molded specifically for you, which means comfort and a secure fit.

Why patients like them:

• Custom fit for comfort

• Easy insertion and removal

• All components in one piece

ITE hearing aids are well suited for patients who prefer not to have anything behind the ear and want a device that feels intuitive to use.

In-the-Canal (ITC) and Completely-in-Canal (CIC)

These hearing aids are smaller custom-made devices that sit partly or completely inside the ear canal.

Why patients like them:

• Very discreet appearance

• Natural microphone placement

• Lightweight and comfortable

They are ideal for patients with mild to moderate hearing loss who value discretion. Because of their size, they may have fewer features — but they certainly make a strong impression by staying out of sight.

Rechargeable Hearing Aids

Many hearing aids today come with rechargeable batteries, regardless of style.

Why patients like them:

• No need to change small batteries

• Easy charging overnight

• Environmentally friendly

If you prefer simplicity and fewer things to keep track of, rechargeable models are a popular and practical choice.
