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.

Great service, from Reception and Audiologist. As an anxious female in my late 50's, and had never had wax removal, let alone a hearing test, I was put at ease and relieved to share my hearing is good.. Thank you for a great service in a warm welcoming setting.

I decided to wait a couple of weeks before writing a review as I wanted to check that the huge difference in my hearing would last. I'm happy to say that it has. I had no idea that a simple, non-painful wax removal process could make such a difference. Thank you to Andrew and the rest of the team at Alto.

Excellent service. Went in for a sound check and had a very informative appointment with annual follow up and no pointless hard sell. Would recommend to anyone in the area.

We had a very good experience. The Receptionist was both cheerful and helpful. Mariia was amazing – her patience, skill and care extracting a very stuck and difficult to remove lump from my husband's ear had to be seen to be believed. He can hear much better now 😁 Thank you for an excellent service.

Absolutely ‘first class’ service. Had quite a lot of build up of wax in my ears and naturally some discomfort and reduced hearing. I cannot recommend highly enough the professional and friendly process provided including a hearing test. Thank you again.

Very impressed. I was wondering if I had tinnitus and needed ear wax removal . I had my ears examined and various hearing tests , the results of which were shown on the computer and clearly explained. It was all painless and all my questions were answered so I felt very reassured. I had booked for ear wax removal but as I didn't need it doing I only paid for the examinations. The receptionist and audiologist were both lovely and I would certainly recommend this service.

I’ve never needed to visit an audiologist so this was a first. Thankfully managed to get a same day appointment which was fantastic and Only 15 mins away. Lovely lady on reception and very helpful regarding where to park. Filled out their form and met by Megan, the audiologist. Another lovely lady who explained everything. Very informative and gave great advice on next steps. I will certainly use Alto again if needed and would highly recommend to others.

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.

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 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 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.
