Pros
RITE hearing aids are the most commonly used version of hearing aid as they allow adjustment to a wide range of users. They can be used for all degrees of hearing loss, and they are very flexible if needed (e.g., minor hearing loss deterioration or the need to move aids to the other ear).
Furthermore, the placement of the speaker in the ear canal enables the construction of a hearing aid of smaller dimensions compared to BTE types. In addition, with receiver-in-the-ear you avoid feedback that occurs due to sound transfer in tube. This means a less noticeable aid for the user and better sound quality.
RITE hearing aids are very discreet, light and comfortable. High-quality hearing aids generally contain directional microphone option and the ability to connect wirelessly to a smartphone or TV adapter. Rechargeable type available as well.
Cons
Receiver-in-the-ear hearing aids have housing parts behind the ear and receiver in the ear, which may cause fitting issues at the beginning of use. In addition, the types with disposable batteries require battery change every 5 to 7 days.
