How SlimRIC works

Keen to know how this fitting style operates? Listen up!

  • Our SlimRIC hearing aids consist of a thin, lightweight device that rests discreetly behind the ear.

  • A thin, transparent wire carries sound from the device to a receiver (the speaker) placed comfortably inside the ear canal.

  • The receiver converts the amplified sound into audible signals, delivering it directly into the ear canal to help you hear better.

SlimRIC style benefits and considerations

Have you heard? Our customers have spoken up about their favourite SlimRIC features:

  • If you like the thought of a more natural sound experience, you’ll find that with the SlimRIC, thanks to the receiver’s comfortable placement inside the ear canal.

  • Call attention to your conversation, not your hearing aid. The SlimRIC’s thin design and behind‑the‑ear attachment make this fitting style barely noticeable when worn.

  • The SlimRIC design can work with most types of hearing loss – our Audiology Professionals will help you work out if it’s fit for you.

On the other hand, compared to other styles, there might be some potential downsides depending on what you need.

  • The SlimRIC’s placement inside the ear can make it more susceptible to moisture and earwax accumulation. So you’ll want to ensure your ears and hearing aids are cleaned as needed to keep the sound crisp and clear.

  • Be sure to replace the wax filter regularly to prevent any clogging and maintain optimal performance, and your hearing will be in good hands.
