BTE hearing aids, like the more popular Receiver-in-Canal (RIC) style, have the main processing unit tucked behind the ear. But with BTEs, the speaker (receiver) is also located behind the ear with the processor, and the amplified sound is transmitted through a tube to an earmold in the ear. With RIC hearing aids, as the name implies, the speaker/receiver is actually located in the ear canal and is connected to the processing unit with a thin wire.
In terms of benefits, BTEs can generally supply greater volume levels than RICs, but RICs can supply a more “natural sound,” especially for your own voice. Both are very effective for improving hearing.
