The RIC hearing aid provides more space for a larger battery and thus offers greater autonomy. In addition, some laboratories have developed RIC models with a rechargeable battery to facilitate use by people with reduced dexterity. It also allows the use of directional microphones. These microphones amplify the sound sources directly in front of you.

You will be able to concentrate better on what is being said without being disturbed by ambient noise. This hearing aid is very practical in noisy environments such as a restaurant or office. Since only the earpiece is placed in the ear canal, the earmold allows for better ventilation of the ear, so you won't feel any occlusion effect.

The occlusion effect is defined by the sensation of a blocked ear as well as a change in the perception of one's own voice. When experiencing this phenomenon, patients often refer to a resonant voice. Chewing may also seem louder.

Hearing aids (RICs) are available in a variety of colors and designs, and most are compatible with wireless communication systems to facilitate television and telephone listening.
