CROS / BiCROS
For single-sided loss, sound from the non-hearing side is sent wirelessly to the other ear. BiCROS: when the better ear also has some loss.

Representative models. Taking parts apart is for explanation only; do not disassemble your device. Designs vary by brand and model.
Pick up sound from the environment. Most models have two microphones so the device can tell which direction speech comes from.
The slim body that sits behind the ear; the processor inside analyses sound, reduces noise and brings speech forward.
Used to change the volume or programme. Many models can also be controlled from a phone app.
The nearly invisible link from the body to the ear canal. Its length is chosen to fit your ear.
Sits inside the ear canal and delivers the processed sound. Its power level is chosen according to the hearing loss.
The soft tip that holds the receiver in the ear. A standard dome or a custom-made earmould can be used.
The drawer-style door at the bottom of the body. Pulled with a fingernail, it swings forward on its pin and brings the battery out of its compartment; closing it swings the battery back in. Leaving it slightly open switches the device off and saves the battery.
A zinc-air button cell. It starts working once the tab is removed; how long it lasts depends on the device and daily use.
Two microphone ports on top of the body pick up sound and tell its direction.
The larger body allows more amplification and longer battery life; it is also used for severe hearing loss.
Large, easy-to-feel controls for changing programmes and adjusting volume.
The rigid, clear curved piece screwed onto the top of the body; it holds the device over the ear and carries sound into the tube.
The clear sound tube that slips over the end of the hook and fits into the earmould. It hardens over time and is replaced at regular intervals.
Made from an impression of your ear, it fits snugly. It carries sound into the canal and reduces feedback; hard acrylic or soft silicone.
The drawer-style door at the bottom of the body; the battery comes out with it when opened. Its larger size makes battery changes easy.
A larger zinc-air cell that usually lasts longer.
A custom shell made from an impression of your ear canal. It sits deep in the canal and is barely visible from outside.
The surface facing the canal entrance; it carries the microphone, the battery door and the removal string.
The small opening on the faceplate. The natural shape of the outer ear helps preserve the direction of sound.
The tiny hinged door on the faceplate; opened with a fingernail, it brings the battery out with it. Changing it may be fiddly for people who find small parts hard to handle.
The smallest zinc-air cell. Because of its size it lasts less than the batteries of other types.
A thin channel along the shell that reduces the feeling of pressure and the boomy sound of your own voice.
A thin nylon string that lets you take the device out of the ear easily.
The sound outlet at the tip facing the canal, protected by a replaceable wax filter.
Types of hearing aid
Hearing aids are classified by where they sit. Being rechargeable or having Bluetooth are separate features whose availability depends on the model. The comparison below is a general guide; the right choice depends on your hearing assessment, ear anatomy and everyday needs.
BTE · Behind-the-Ear
All the electronics sit in a housing behind the ear; sound travels through a tube and a suitable mould or tip. Different power levels and controls are available.
RIC / RITE · Receiver-in-Canal
A small housing sits behind the ear, while the receiver (loudspeaker) sits inside the ear canal on a thin wire. Its compact housing and different receiver options allow it to suit a range of needs.
ITE · In-the-Ear
A shell made from an impression of your ear fills the inner part of the outer ear. Full-shell and half-shell options are available; nothing sits behind the ear.
ITC · In-the-Canal
Smaller than an ITE; it sits at the entrance of the ear canal and only a small faceplate is visible from outside. Made with a custom shell.
CIC · Completely-in-Canal
Sits deep in the ear canal; visibility depends on the ear anatomy and model. Because of its small size, battery life and the feature set are more limited.
IIC · Invisible-in-Canal
A small design fitted deep in the ear canal. Visibility and fitting depth depend on the ear anatomy and model; it may not suit every ear.
The ear canal must be of a suitable size and shape.
Ask about this type| | | | | | | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Visibility | Visible | Discreet | Moderate | Discreet | Very discreet | Nearly invisible |
| Power range | Mild → profound | Mild → profound (depends on receiver) | Mild → severe | Mild → moderately severe | Mild → moderately severe (depends on canal size) | Mild → moderate |
| Rechargeable option | Common | Very common | Many models | Limited | Rare | Rare |
| Wireless connectivity | Common | Very common | Common | Some models | Limited | Very limited |
| Ease of handling | Very easy | Easy | Easy | Moderate | Difficult (small parts) | Difficult (small parts) |
| Maintenance | Low–moderate (tube and mould cleaning) | Moderate (receiver filter and dome care) | Moderate–high (earwax and moisture) | High (earwax and moisture) | High | High |
For single-sided loss, sound from the non-hearing side is sent wirelessly to the other ear. BiCROS: when the better ear also has some loss.
High output for severe and profound losses; usually a behind-the-ear housing with a custom mould.
Durable behind-the-ear models that work with classroom systems. The mould is remade as the ear grows.
This table is based on the manufacturers' general classifications. Not every model works with every phone, not every ear suits every type, and results vary from person to person. A definitive recommendation is given after a hearing assessment.
Brands and technologies
Most brands belong to a handful of large manufacturer groups. We first clarify what you need, then compare the options that suit you impartially.
For information only; brand names are registered trademarks of their owners. Please contact us about the brands we fit, stock and prices.
Features vary by brand, model and phone.
Services
Fitting, care and support matter as much as choosing the device.
A consultation and hearing test show where you stand; we explain the results in plain language.
We compare the types that suit you and let you try the device on site before you decide.
The device is programmed to your audiogram and adjusted gradually over the first weeks.
From an impression of your ear, we produce a mould that fits it exactly.
Together we choose the right batteries, filters, domes and cleaning products for your device.
Periodic cleaning and checks; if a fault occurs, we manage the authorised service process.
Ear moulds
It carries the device's sound into your ear and holds the device in place. The right fit directly affects comfort, sound quality and feedback control.
The ear canal is examined with an otoscope before the impression.
A small protective block goes in, a silicone impression is taken, then the canal is checked again.
The impression becomes a mould in a suitable material.
The mould is tried on and adjusted if needed; insertion and cleaning are shown.
Fills the whole concha bowl; common with high-power aids.
Fills the lower concha bowl; easier to insert and remove.
A ring around the concha rim; open centre, good retention.
Held by the canal and a helix arm; part of the ring is open.
Sits in the canal and its entrance; the concha is left free.
A canal mould with a small lock on the lower concha rim.
An open mould that holds the tube or receiver without blocking the canal.
A small mould that sits fully in the canal; often with RIC.
Representative renders, shown to the same scale; names vary between labs. The right style is chosen together, based on your ear, device and hearing loss.
Durable, keeps its shape, easy to clean.
Flexible and comfortable; often chosen for children.
Ready-made RIC tip: open, closed or double (power).
An earmould is different from a swim plug or noise protector. We can also advise on protective plugs.

Frequently asked questions
If your question is not answered here, call or message us on WhatsApp; our team will be happy to help.
First, a hearing test and ear check are carried out. The degree and type of loss, ear canal shape, dexterity, use of glasses or masks and your everyday environments (crowds, phone, TV) are all considered together. Suitable device types and technology levels are then compared, and you decide after trying the device.
There is no single "best". Behind-the-ear and receiver-in-canal models offer a wider power range, longer battery life and easier handling. Smaller in-the-ear models (ITC, CIC, IIC) have the advantage of discretion but are more exposed to earwax and moisture. The decision depends on your degree of loss and ear anatomy.
Rechargeable models go into the charger overnight; they are practical for anyone who finds small batteries fiddly. Battery-powered models allow uninterrupted use simply by changing the battery, with no dependence on a charger. We decide together based on your lifestyle.
Most current models stream phone calls, music and video sound directly via Bluetooth. However, compatibility depends on the phone model, its operating system and the device's connectivity standard; we check compatibility with your phone during the consultation.
A well-fitting mould holds the device firmly in the ear, delivers sound without leakage and reduces whistling. The ear canal is first examined with an otoscope; a small protective block is placed in the canal and silicone impression material is applied. It sets within a few minutes, and the canal is checked again afterwards. A trained professional takes the impression, and the custom mould is checked for fit at handover.
The brain relearns sounds it has not heard for a long time. In the first few days, your own voice and ambient sounds may seem different. With a gradual increase in wearing time and fine-tuning appointments in the first weeks, most users adjust noticeably within a few weeks.
Follow the instructions supplied with your device for cleaning, drying and storage. Filter and dome replacement intervals depend on the model and wax build-up. We demonstrate how and when to replace them.
A consultation, ear check and hearing test are carried out; the results are explained and the options discussed. Just bring any previous hearing test results and the device you currently use, if any.
Price depends less on the device type than on the technology level (noise processing, connectivity, charging), the number of channels and additional services. After the assessment, we give clear pricing for different levels suited to your needs.
