Hearing aid receiver

ITE hearing aids are famous for their small size. This is why the receiver is integrated directly into the shell of the device. ITE hearing aids fit comfortably in the ear canal and are tailored to the anatomy of the individual's ear, providing a natural listening experience.

In behind-the-ear (BTE) models, the receiver is located in the main body of the hearing aid. In this type of device, four components can be distinguished: receiver cable, receiver dome, left right receiver indicator. A thin tube directs the amplified sound into the ear canal through an earmold. This model is ideal for users with varying degrees of hearing loss and offers powerful amplification.

Receiver-in-canal (RIC) hearing aids feature a receiver that is placed inside the ear canal while the rest of the device rests behind the ear. This arrangement allows for smaller, more discreet hearing aids and is favoured for its comfort and less occluded feeling.

If you notice a significant drop in sound quality, such as muffled sounds or static, it might be time to check your receiver for damage or degradation.

Visible signs of wear and tear, such as cracks or loose components, can impair function and require immediate attention.

Persistent buzzing or whistling sounds can indicate that the receiver is not functioning correctly or that it is improperly fitted.
