Hearing Instrument Styles

Receiver-In-Canal (RIC)

These hearing instruments consist of two parts. First is the apparatus that sits behind the ear. This housing is much smaller than BTE hearing instruments. A variety of choices are available to match hair or skin tones. Second is the receiver. This piece sits inside the ear canal and is attached to the housing via a thin, discreet wire. People who wear RICs say they are very comfortable and provide the most natural hearing assistance.

Behind-The-Ear (BTE)

This type of hearing instrument is used for power applications. They are made for individuals who have a severe or even profound hearing loss. A small plastic tub is connected to the earhook. This tube then connects to an earmold which is custom made in our office.

In-The-Ear (ITE)

This style of hearing instrument is a great option for individuals who do not want any part of their hearing instrument to sit behind the ear. The ITE is worn exclusively inside the ear but it is visible to others. The housing is custom made in our office ensuring a perfect fit.

In-The-Canal (ITC)

This hearing instrument is similar to the ITE. It is also custom made. The main difference is that it is smaller in size.

Completely-In-Canal (CIC)

This hearing instrument is similar to the ITC. It is also custom made. The main difference is that it is smaller in size, therefore, it is more discreet.

Invisible-In-Canal (IIC)

These hearing instruments are even smaller than the CICs. These are the most discreet and nearly invisible when worn. They are custom made to fit your ear canal.

I was so very pleased with my experience at Renaissance Hearing Center. Angelo Darby gave me the most thorough hearing test I have ever had. He did a wonderful job, I no longer hate wearing hearing aids! Angelo is very knowledgeable, informative and very reasonably priced. I would recommend him.

From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and cared for. Angelo was friendly, knowledgeable, and eager to help. Angelo went above and beyond to ensure that I received the best possible care. He took the time to understand my hearing needs and patiently explained all the available options.
Donna B.

From the hearing test right through to receiving our hearing aids, my husband and I both knew we had gone to the right place. Angelo has always been a professional, taking the time to explain everything in a way we could understand. He is very patient and knowledgeable.

We were referred by a friend and couldn’t be happier. Angelo gave my wife the most comprehensive evaluation she has ever had. He patiently explained the product, and answered all questions.
John S.

I have been wearing my Vista hearing aids for one week. Voices are clearer and my daughter says I am not missing words like before. I love the Bluetooth. I'm staying on the phone longer because it's easier to understand what people are saying.
Barbara D.

Angelo diligently worked with me and never gave up. I can now hear better than I ever have! He is an absolute professional, honest and accommodating gentleman. I wouldn't think of going anywhere else!
