Behind-the-Ear (BTE): Suitable for all levels of hearing loss.

In-the-Ear (ITE): Custom-molded to fit inside the ear.

Receiver-in-Canal (RIC): Combines comfort with high performance.

Completely in the canal hearing aid (CIC)

Invisible-in-Canal (IIC): Nearly invisible and ideal for mild to moderate hearing loss.
