[Book a Free Test](/book-a-test) How it works ## Small body, speaker in the ear In a RIC aid, the speaker (the “receiver”) sits inside your ear canal, while the processor sits discreetly behind your ear, connected by a very thin, nearly invisible wire. Separating the speaker keeps the behind-ear part tiny, and a soft open-fitting dome lets natural sound in too — so your own voice does not feel blocked or boomy. Is it right for you? ## Who it's best for RIC suits the widest range of people, which is why we recommend it most often. ### Mild to severe loss Versatile enough to fit almost every level of hearing loss. ### First-time wearers Comfortable, discreet and quick to fit — a reassuring first device. ### Feature seekers Want Bluetooth, rechargeability and app control in a discreet shape. ### Natural-sound lovers The open fit keeps your own voice and surroundings sounding natural.
