BTE hearing instruments that place the loudspeaker (receiver) directly in the ear with/without a fitted ear-mould are often referred to as “Receiver in the Canal” instruments. These instruments use soft ear inserts, typically of silicone, to position the loudspeaker in the patient’s ear. Some of the advantages with this approach include improved sound quality, reduced case size, “open-fit” technology, reduced feedback and immediate patient fitting
