Hearing Aid Types
There are two general types of hearing aids and they are available in a variety of styles:

- IIC and CIC
- In the canal (ITC)
Hearing aids that are placed behind the ear (BTE)
- Receiver in the ear (RITE)
- Behind-the-ear with earmold
In-the-ear (ITE) hearing aids
ITE-assistive devices — also referred to as “invisible” hearing aids — are inserted into the ear canal. They’re personally custom-fit, based on an impression of your ear taken by your hearing care professional. Deep placement hearing aids Some ITE hearing aids are placed very deep inside the ear canal, closer to the outer ear by others.
BTE (behind-the-ear) hearing aids
BTE aids, the more typical of the two, are placed behind or on top of the outer ear with tubing that bring the sound down into the ear canal through a custom-fit earmold or a dome style).
They have them in several colors to coordinate with hair/skin tone in both BTE and ITE styles. BTE in general have more bells and whistles and better tech though.

- Invisible in the canal (IIC)
- Completely in the canal (CIC)
The IIC and CIC styles are the tiniest and least visible hearing aids. IIC means Invisible in the canal IIC style are nearly invisible.

it doesn’t exactly make sense.

In the canal (ITC) in the ear hearing aids
ITC hearing aids are placed in the lower part of the outer ear bowl, making them comfortable to use and convenient. They’re a little larger than IIC and CIC styles, so they typically have a longer battery life and can accommodate more types of hearing loss. Their larger size also means they can accommodate extras like directional microphones for clearer sound in noisy areas and manual controls, such as a volume wheel, if so desired.
Advantages:
- discreet
- features a longer battery and is more powerful than IIC and CIC models
Disadvantages:
- Prone to clogging with earwax and moisture
