RIC hearing aids vs BTE hearing aids

So if you were given the choice between a normal BTE and an RIC hearing aid, what’s the best move? Well, the verdict is up to you, but it’s our job to present you with all the evidence we have.

Firstly, RIC hearing aids are often cited as being the more comfortable of the two, as the squishy receiver is considered a bit more comfortable than the firm silicon mold that comes with a BTE.

This pro comes with a con, however. Since the RIC receiver is a bit more malleable and gentle, it’s more susceptible to wear and tear, and might need to be replaced. This doesn’t take long at all – a simple visit to your hearing specialist and it’ll be swapped out immediately.

A BTE hearing aid, like we mentioned, is far more durable and resistant to damage. The mold is tougher, and it’s not placed fully in the ear canal – meaning it’s less exposed to moisture and heat.

Once again, the strength here carries an inherent weakness. A hearing aid’s receiver governs the level of sound sent into the ear. Since the receiver mold is fixed to the hearing aid, if your hearing loss worsens throughout your usage of a BTE hearing aid, you won’t be able to change the receiver – you’ll have to get a brand new hearing aid.

So which is better? Like we said, the verdict is yours to make. RIC hearing aids are more comfortable and more discreet, but BTE is the better choice for someone with an active outdoor lifestyle, frequent ear infections, or an above-average aural moisture level.
