The very latest in digital hearing aid technology, the R.I.T.E. (receiver in the ear) system is a discreet, two-piece design that’s growing in popularity day by day.
Essentially a two-piece system, the hearing aid can be comfortably worn either behind or on top of the ear while a thin, discrete wire connects it to a tiny receiver in the ear canal. The benefit to you is that this system can be worn while leaving the ear canal open, making it a very comfortable solution.
If you're considering an R.I.T.E. hearing aid, it might please you to note that many of our clients have reported completely forgetting they are wearing them!
Thanks to huge advances in technology, this style of R.I.T.E. hearing aid means that even those suffering with severe hearing loss can enjoy a great deal of hearing restoration, and the system can be custom fitted to deal with every individual's specific needs.
So what are the advantages of a system that uses a receiver (or loudspeaker) in the ear?
1. Comfort
By far one of the most comfortable digital hearing aids, the system’s receiver is held in place by a soft silicone dome. The dome’s design incorporates a series of tiny holes, which allows your ears to make use of your remaining natural hearing. This is especially beneficial to telephone users.
2. Clarity
Because the receiver is in your ear, and therefore closer to the eardrum than any other system, it requires less volume. This not only increases the clarity with which you hear, but also the battery life.
