How Many Types of Hearing Aids? How Much do They Usually Cost?

Generally speaking, hearing aids are divided into five types: behind-the-ear (BTE), in-the-ear (ITE), receiver-in-the-ear (RITE), and in-the-ear (ITC).

  1. Behind-the-Ear (BTE): The device fits snugly behind your ear. The body of the hearing aid is attached to a custom earmold or thin tube.
  2. In-Ear (ITE): In-Ear (ITE) devices can fill your entire ear (called a full cup) or a portion of the earcup (called a half cup).
  3. Receiver in the Ear (RITE): The body of the ITE hearing aid sits behind your ear. A thin receiver wire runs from the body of the hearing aid to your outer ear and into your ear canal. The soft tip sits right inside your ear canal.
  4. In the Canal (ITC): In-canal (ITC) hearing aids are usually less noticeable. Smaller size, uses smaller batteries.
These devices typically range in price from a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars.
