Receiver-in-canal hearing aids
The most popular modern style: 42 discreet RIC models from $1,800 per aid.
Receiver-in-canal (RIC) hearing aids are the most popular modern style for good reason. A slim, lightweight body sits behind your ear and sends sound through a thin wire to a tiny speaker placed in your ear canal, giving you a natural, open feel. Many people ask ‘are RIC hearing aids good’ and the answer is they suit a wide range of hearing losses while remaining discreet and comfortable all day. RIC devices work well for many different listening lifestyles, from quiet home life to active social schedules. Because the speaker sits directly in the canal, you get clear, natural sound quality without a plugged-up sensation. Most models in our range are rechargeable, so you simply place them in their charger at night and wake up to a full day of hearing.
TellyHear carries 42 RIC models, making this the largest and most varied part of our range, with prices from $1,800 to $3,700 per aid. You’ll find options across every technology tier from Essential to Elite, from brands like Phonak, Oticon, Widex and more. Whether you want a value-packed entry device or a fully featured flagship, the RIC style has you covered. Order a pair of RIC hearing aids with your audiogram and you’ll save $500 instantly. Every RIC comes with a 3-year manufacturer warranty, and providing your audiogram takes $500 off a pair. It’s a smart way to access Australia’s favourite hearing aid style with genuine clinical support.

What are receiver-in-canal hearing aids?
A receiver-in-canal hearing aid has a slim, lightweight body that sits behind the ear and a thin wire that runs into the ear canal. At the end of that wire is a tiny speaker, called the receiver, which delivers sound right near your eardrum. This design keeps the ear canal open while providing clear, natural amplification.
It is the most popular modern style because the body is discreet and the open fit feels comfortable all day. Placing the speaker close to the eardrum produces a very natural sound quality with less feedback. RIC aids suit a wide range of hearing losses, and most models today are rechargeable for simple overnight charging.
They suit people who want a blend of discretion, comfort, and high-quality sound, from mild to severe hearing losses. TellyHear programs your RIC devices using your audiogram and sends them ready to wear, with a remote fitting session to guide you. Ongoing adjustments can be made remotely, so you feel supported without needing to visit a clinic.

Outstanding after-sale support
I purchased my hearing aid online late last year. I was a bit apprehensive about making such an important and expensive purchase without having the backup of a local clinic. I needn’t be worried.

Every issue solved without dispute
I obtained a full auditory test from Lachlan after becoming quite dissatisfied with my previous specialist. New hearing aids were purchased and a series of small issues were effectively solved at short notice.
