Main Styles of Perth Hearing Aid Brands

There are four main styles:

1. Invisible Hearing Aids

Should you choose Lyric Invisible in the Canal (IIC) or Completely in the Canal (CIC)?

They are invisible, only the wearer knows they are there. Designed for discretion, they are tiny and sit inside the ear canal. They are great for telephone usage and are protected from dust and debris in your ear. Most models are remotely controllable. Some use a specially designed remote and some use your smartphone or home telephone as the controller.

The IIC and CIC models are custom made to fit the shape of your ear canal for maximum benefit and the best possible comfort. IIC and CIC hearing aids are designed for mild to severe hearing loss and are available in many skin tone colours.

The Lyric hearing aid brand comes in a range of sizes and is especially revolutionary as it is placed in the ear, close to the eardrum, by an audiologist. It then stays there 24/7 for months at a time through daily activities like showering, exercising and sleeping*. Described as the contact lens for your ear, it is hassle-free and perfect for people with an active lifestyle. We are an authorised Lyric provider in Perth. You can find out more about Lyric here.

2. Receiver in the Canal Hearing Aids (RIC)

Receiver-in-canal hearing aids are small and discrete, and often lead the way in technology advancements. A portion sits behind the ear and is connected to a very small, unobtrusive wire which is inserted into the ear. These are suitable for mild to severe hearing loss.

3. Behind the Ear Hearing Aids (BTE)

With Behind the Ear hearing aids, incoming sounds are amplified in a behind the ear device and transmitted into the ear via a custom ear mould. The larger size of BTE aids allows better battery life and greater amplification. BTE models are available for all degrees of hearing loss and are available in many different colours.

4. Custom In the Ear Hearing Aids (ITE)

These models are custom made to fit the shape of your ear canal for maximum benefit and the best possible comfort. Various sizes are available from full or half-shell in-the-ear. They are designed for mild to severe hearing loss and are available in many skin tone colours.
