Oticon hearing aid styles explained
Oticon offers a range of hearing aid styles designed to suit different hearing requirements and preferences.
Receiver-in-canal (RIC) hearing aids
RIC hearing aids are a popular choice because they combine discreet design with advanced technology.
They sit comfortably behind the ear with a thin wire connecting to a receiver positioned inside the ear canal.
Benefits include:
- Discreet appearance.
- Comfortable wear.
- Rechargeable options.
- Modern connectivity.
- Advanced hearing support.
Behind-the-ear hearing aids
Behind-the-ear hearing aids provide a secure and reliable option, particularly where greater amplification is required.
Modern designs are smaller and more refined while continuing to offer dependable performance.
Custom hearing aids
Custom hearing aids are individually made to fit the ear.
They can offer a discreet and personalised solution for suitable candidates.
A hearing assessment allows us to determine whether this type of device is appropriate for your hearing needs.
Is Oticon the right hearing aid for you?
Choosing hearing aids is a personal decision. The most appropriate solution depends on your hearing requirements, lifestyle and the situations where you need the greatest support.
Oticon hearing aids may be particularly suitable if you:
Want support understanding speech
Many people seek hearing help because conversations have become more difficult, rather than because they cannot hear sounds at all.
Oticon’s BrainHearing™ approach is designed for people who want hearing technology that supports the way the brain processes sound.
This can be particularly beneficial if you find yourself:
- Missing parts of conversations.
- Struggling in background noise.
- Feeling tired after social situations.
- Relying more heavily on lip reading or watching faces.
Prefer technology based on hearing science
Oticon’s development philosophy is rooted in research into how people naturally hear and process sound.
For those who want a hearing solution informed by audiological research and innovation, Oticon offers a technology approach that goes beyond simple amplification.
Want hearing aids that adapt to everyday life
Your hearing needs are not the same throughout the day.
A quiet conversation at home, a busy workplace and a social gathering all require different types of listening support.
Oticon hearing aids are designed to respond to changing environments and provide support without requiring constant manual adjustment.
Value professional hearing care
Even the most advanced hearing aids depend on expert fitting to perform effectively.
At The Hearing Care Centre, we believe successful hearing outcomes come from combining:
- The right technology.
- Accurate assessment.
- Personalised programming.
- Ongoing professional support.

Expert insight from The Hearing Care Centre
Hearing technology should support the person, not just the hearing loss
One of the most important developments in modern hearing care is the recognition that hearing is a complete process involving both the ears and the brain.
A hearing aid should not simply make sounds louder. It should help provide access to the sounds and information that allow the brain to understand what is happening.
Oticon’s BrainHearing™ philosophy reflects this understanding, focusing on supporting more natural listening.
However, successful hearing care always begins with the individual.
The best technology is the technology that is carefully matched, fitted and supported around your specific needs.
