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.

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. I tried lots of suggested things but nothing workedp. At my consultation with Carl, he explained everything about the procedure he was going to do clearly to me, examined my ears shown me photos, carried out the procedure while talking me through it putting me at ease. When he was finished I was amazed I could here straight away, I was so pleased and can see why the reviews are 5 star, I…

I've had my hearing tested by a well-known high street brand previously, but Alto Hearing were far more thorough and professional. It included testing with background noise, talking through my lifestyle and how it was being impacted by my hearing issues, and then they allowed me to try out the recommended product to see how much difference it could make. This gave me the confidence to proceed with their recommendation, and I've ordered my first set of hearing aids as a result.

Very welcoming experience all round from reception to hearing consultant….. on the initial hearing examination, ear wax was seen on their very impressive ear to screen camera. Decided to have the ear wax removed which was no where as intrusive as I thought it would be with no pain at all. Fully recommend their practice

Called this morning after my Mum-in-Law got a bit of her hearing aid stuck in her ear last night – incredibly helpful. They were able to see us within a couple of hours and sorted the problem quickly and painlessly. Excellent service, friendly and professional all round. Easy to park and access as well.

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.

The Audiologist – Carl – has been fantastic. He checked my partner's ears and cleaned them thoroughly, making sure that the procedure wasn't painful. He then recommended a medicine to reduce the ear infection. At the free follow-up appointment, he checked my partner's hearing again. We are very grateful for his friendly, carrying and professional approach. I'd highly recommend Karl to anyone who suffers from any ear-related problems.

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…
