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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Really great experience getting my ear wax removed here. I was able to get a same-day appointment, which was really helpful, and the pricing was very reasonable. They treated both ears rather than just the problem one, which I really appreciated. The staff were friendly and professional, checking on my comfort throughout the appointment. Everything was sorted quickly and efficiently. I’d definitely recommend!

I had a problem with my right ear, not all the time but from time to time. I had an appointment with Carl, who was very professional and made me feel at ease. I had a thorough ear test in both ears and was shown the graph of my hearing. I was very impressed with the test and advised l would benefit from a hearing devise. I would recommend anyone who is suffering from a hearing loss to get tested and to try out the different devises. You may not think you need them but see the difference it could…

I went today to Alto Hearing, Clitheroe for my ears checking and a hearing test. From the minute I walked into the clinic, I was made to feel welcome and put at ease! The whole experience was professional and efficient! I felt no pain during the ear checking and wax removal, and the procedure and findings were fully explained to me! The hearing test was conducted in the same professional manner. I would highly recommend Alto hearing clinic.

What a wonderful experience. Both ears completely full of wax. Everything explained & beautiful work done by Andrew. Even watched everything being done on a tv. Worth every penny to be able to hear every word spoken to me. Very warm welcome by the receptionist, lovely reassuring chat.

Had noticed my hearing had deteriorated in crowded places. Was recommended to Karl at Alto. After thorough testing my mind was put at rest no pressure for a sale just a genuine interest in my concerns. Karl very patient and professional leaving with an awareness of slight loss and a need for an annual checkup too. Thank you.

Booked an appointment in desperation with deep impacted wax, hearing loss and pain, got an appointment the next day and the price is affordable. The staff are really accommodating, and conversational, Mariia was very gentle with me, and my anxiety faded the more she worked as I could tell she is very professional and good at her craft. As a neurodivergent individual who dislikes physical contact and has issues trusting people with invasive procedures, I highly recommend Alto Hearing to anyone who needs it. Their work is definitely worth the price. :). I can hear better now and my ears…

I attended alto for wax removal today, I was alittle nervous never having it done before but was immediately put at ease by the friendly receptionist. I was promptly seen by Megan who explained everything well and carried out the wax removal which wasn't uncomfortable at all! Very pleased with the service and will definitely return when needed. Highly recommend.

Maria the audiologist was extremely professional, caring and gentle during my procedure and thorough in conducting my hearing test. The receptionist was equally welcoming to the branch and professional in manner. Both put me at ease, explained what would happen and treated me with kindness and compassion. They are both an asset to the business, thank you.

The service was quick and the staff were very pleasant. Thank-you for your support.

I recently visited Alto Hearing and couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the moment I walked in, the receptionist made me feel completely at ease — no rushing, just genuine care and expertise. I had microsuction ear wax removal, and the difference is incredible, the audiologist took time to explain everything clearly, answered all my questions, the treatment was excellent, no pain and I watched everything on the monitor. The location is convenient, the clinic is modern and spotless, and the follow-up support has been brilliant. If you’re struggling with blocked ears —book with Alto Hearing. Hands down the…

A very relaxing and helpful experience. The hearing checks were thorough and non threatening- the results clearly displayed on the screen and explained in detail. There was no hard sell but information provided for me to make an informed decision. It was a worthwhile appointment. I’m so glad I took the first step towards better hearing .

I visited Carl fir the first time yesterday, with tinnitus and some deafness in my right ear. After a full examination he advised me to see my Dr. as he thought it was an inner ear infection. I took his advice and now have antibiotics. He was such a kind and helpful man. I would definitely recommend him . Helen Robinson.

My wife and I had booked back to back appointments with Carl. We found him to be very friendly and patient and gave very thorough examinations with good explanation of his findings. We feel we were given extensive hearing tests and both have benefited from the microsuction Carl administered. Should we require any further assessments in the future we will definitely return. Thank you Carl

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*
