Receiver In the Ear (RITE) Hearing Aids
Evolving from the breakthrough of Open Ear fittings, RITE took the idea and made it even better. The main difference with Receiver In the Ear Technology is that the receiver, which sends the sound into the ear, is no longer on the piece behind the ear, but is on the other end of the tube inside the canal. The effects of this are improved sound performance, less risk of feedback and a greater fitting range. RITE instruments are again very discreet and extremely comfortable to wear.
