Hearing aid styles

All of our hearing aid treatment plans allow you to choose from any of the latest hearing aid styles, including our invisible hearing aids.

Receiver in the canal/ear (RIC or RIE)

One of the most popular styles due to their sleek design and versatility. By helping to keep the ear canal open, receiver in the canal hearing aids (RIC) have a very natural sound.

Receiver in the canal hearing aids have a speaker that sits inside the ear canal and is connected via a very thin wire to a small hearing aid unit that sits behind the ear. RIC hearing aids are suitable for most hearing losses.

Behind the ear (BTE)

As the name suggests, behind the ear hearing aids sit behind your ear and connect, via a thin tube, to a mould or dome which sits inside your ear.

Whilst not the most discreet, behind the ear hearing aids are the most powerful and can help the most severe hearing losses.

Invisible in the canal (IIC)

Invisible in the canal hearing aids are the most discreet hearing aid option available.

These devices are tiny and sit right inside the ear canal. They feature with a small wire that allows you to extract the device from your ear.

Due to their smaller size, invisible in the canal devices are suitable for mild to moderate hearing losses and generally do not offer wireless connectivity.

Completely in the canal (CIC)

Similar to in the canal devices, these hearing aids also sit inside the ear canal but are smaller and sit slightly further down the ear canal.

Completely in the canal hearing aids are suitable for mild to moderate hearing losses.

In the ear (ITE)

Sitting inside the ear canal, these hearing aids are custom made to the shape of your ear and house all of the components, so that nothing is visible behind the ear.

In the ear hearing aids are suitable for most hearing losses.

Good experience which made a refreshing change. Not your usual silent doctor’s waiting area where nobody talks. Fiona was really chatty. If her yellow Mini’s outside, you’ll meet her. She thinks it’s orange but unfortunately Alto’s don’t do eye tests!

I needed microsuction to remove earwax and managed to get an appointment very quickly at Alto Hearing Market Bosworth. Carl Morley is the most gentle person I have ever had doing this. I highly recommend him, he is both professional and relational. Thank you.

Had a great experience here when I brought my daughter. Leesa took the time to explain and take me through the results of her hearing test and answer any questions I had. Receptionist was also incredibly friendly on the phone. Would definitely recommend and I will be visiting here for any future hearing needs for myself.

First visit to Alto Hearing, I accompanied my husband to his appointment. Super friendly welcome with coffee offered in a very comfortable waiting area. I mentioned to the receptionist that I had some concerns about my ears and was offered an appointment on the spot. I saw Megan the audiologist who was very friendly and thorough and gave me a free health check. Great service from Alto Hearing, my husband and I will be back there for our next appointment.

From the moment I walked through the door, i was made to feel very welcome and at ease. Much appreciated the cup of tea that was offered too! Andrew was very knowledgeable and thorough in checking my hearing and ear health, and had no problem updating my existing hearing aid settings. I will have no hesitation in returning and can highly recommend them. A great addition to Clitheroe. 5*

I was blown away by my visit to Alto Hearing. What a lovely welcoming place – I was full of trepidation but I needn't have been as Andrew made me feel very relaxed. With his depth of knowledge and expertise I feel confident he can help with my profound deafness. I would urge anyone with hearing problems to go and see him, I cannot recommend or praise him enough.

I visited Alto Hearing at Market Bosworth after suffering from deafness in one ear for over 4 weeks after water from swimming had entered and became trapped.

What a good experience with this company! Friendly and professional team who put me at ease straight away. Painless procedure with everything explained in a way that was easy to understand without being patronising.

I called Alto Hearing at 11:00am asking about ear wax removal. The lady on the phone was so lovely and patient, taking time to explain everything to me. I managed to get an appointment for just 30 minutes later at 11:30am! The audiologist, Megan, was very knowledgeable and friendly, and overall it was an absolutely fantastic experience. I would recommend Alto Hearing to everyone.

I approached Alto for help to replace a lost hearing aid charger, as my own provider was unable/unwilling to help. The help and advice from Alto resulted in the arrival of a new unit collected and in use within 24 hours of my first enquiry. The staff were very helpful and friendly, finding me the best price too. I cannot thank them enough for their care and support. I shall be moving over to them soon and look forward to their support with my next set of hearing aids.

Visited Alto Kenilworth for the first time after reading how important it is to have an ear test as you get older. I'd never heard of Alto before but they were close to me and decided to pay a visit. Booking was so easy I received a warm welcome o my arrival and my whole experience in having wax removed and a hearing test was better than I expected it to be. Alto was warm and friendly and the service was amazing I'm so glad I found this amazing place. All the staff were so professional and a great bunch…

Booked a last minute slot after visiting elsewhere (where I was told I couldn’t be helped) and arrived within an hour of booking, easy parking and a 10* experience! Was seen before my appointment was due so wasn’t sat around waiting. Thank you to the wonderful lady on reception in Lutterworth (I am so sorry I have forgotten your name!!). You were so kind, professional and friendly! A real credit to Alto hearing specialists! Your positivity and kindness makes a difference. And Mariia who was so pleasant and kind throughout. Offered me a free hearing test and made my day…
