RIC’s (Reciever in Canal’s) and OTE’s (On the Ear) hearings aids are a newer style of hearing device that were designed for people with mild to moderate hearing losses, specifically in the higher frequency ranges. It consists of a small device which sits behind the ear and a thin wire or tube which sits in the ear.
The difference between the two devices is that the RIC has its receiver (or speaker) in the ear canal, and the OTE has the receiver (or speaker) in the hearing aid behind the ear. Both devices are light weight and do not occlude the ear canal giving you the feeling that there is nothing in the ear.
