Also, they are considerably smaller, lighter, less visible, and help in addressing most kinds of hearing loss except profound hearing loss. The advantage of RIC hearing aids is they have dual microphones, which provide adaptive directionality. Moreover, they are wireless technology enabled, and can connect easily to smartphones and TV. Some RIC hearing aids also come with larger battery sizes, which last longer. One advantage of RIC hearing aids is that they do not give the occlusion effect for the wearer.
