Receiver-in-canal hearing aids are the most popular style worldwide — and for good reason. The main body of the device sits discreetly behind the ear, while a thin wire carries sound to a miniature receiver that rests just inside the ear canal. The result is a hearing aid that is lighter, smaller, and more acoustically natural than traditional behind-the-ear designs.

RIC devices excel in their versatility. They suit a wide range of hearing loss, from mild to severe, and the open-fit design allows low-frequency sounds to pass naturally into the ear while amplifying the frequencies you struggle with. This reduces the plugged or echoey sensation — known as occlusion — that some hearing aid wearers find uncomfortable.

Modern RIC models from the Artone catalog feature rechargeable batteries with all-day life, Bluetooth streaming direct from smartphones and TVs, and AI-powered noise processing that adapts automatically to your environment. Whether you are in a busy restaurant, an open-plan office, or a quiet park, the device detects the soundscape and optimises amplification in real time.

Custom ear tips — from open domes to closed power sleeves — allow your specialist to fine-tune the acoustic seal to your ear shape and hearing profile. First-time wearers frequently find RIC devices the easiest to adjust to, making them an ideal starting point for anyone new to hearing aids.
