RIC / RITE Earpieces

The sound quality and discreet size of many RIC (Receiver In Canal), RITE (Receiver In The Ear), and CRT (Canal Receiver Technology) instruments have made them extremely popular. But despite the advancements in hearing instrument technology, many of these hearing instrument fittings require custom-fit earpieces for a variety of reasons, including:
· To provide the necessary gain before feedback
· Help retain the receiver in the ear canal
· To avoid insertion difficulties and provide improved comfort.

Westone custom-fit earpieces are the solution. Select from an open recessed canal style, a canal-lock style or even a skeleton style, based on your patient’s individual needs. Westone has solutions for virtually any application, which will help maximize your fittings, improve your patient satisfaction and reduce your returns for credit.

Style No. 88	FIT™ The future of earpieces is at Westone…now! We call it FIT technology. Today at Westone, we’re making custom-fit earpieces with computer-controlled scanning hardware so precise that it scans up to 100,000 points on a single ear impression. Using state of the art three-dimensional software, the virtual earpiece is then modeled by our skilled technicians.
