Limitations
Benefits
- RIC aids provide a more natural sound than BTE aids due to the location of the receiver inside the ear.
- RIC aids can be more discreet than custom made hearing aids.
- The receivers can be interchangeable making it more suitable for a range of hearing losses.
- They can provide better functionality in background noise.
- They come as wireless, recharegable and loop system options.
Limitations
- The hearing aid position doesn’t replicate the way the ear would naturally absorb and reflect sound.
- You may struggle if you have limited dexterity.
- The telephone needs to be positioned differently

What our patients say about our services
I was reviewed by Hafiza from Pinnaclear in a thorough, excellent and professional manner. The procedure I needed was microsuctioning which wax explained to me in a detailed and reassuring way and the action itself felt gentle and tolerable. Not used to being in the 'patient role' the experience overall was positive and I would be happy to return and recommend Pinnaclear to others-thank you Hafiza!
My consultation and resulting micro suction procedure in both ears was both a revelation and a huge relief! I had a camera in each ear which meant I was able to see (via laptop) the inside of my ears and where the wax build up was, so by the time the procedure began I knew exactly what was about to happen. In my case it wasn’t just a question of wax in my ears but the shape of my ear canals and the discrepancy between thickness of my ear drums! Most enlightening and professional.. I will certainly be keeping on top of my ear health now! Thank you Hafiza!


An elderly friend of mine - a 95 year old lady - had ongoing problems
with inflammation of the ear canal (otitis externa) and blocked ears. As
she was quite frail, and due to the covid19 pandemic the 'normal' ENT
services were unavailable. So we asked Hafiza to come on a home visit
and see my friend. Hafiza made time to come at very short notice on a
Saturday. I thought that Hafiza was really excellent, explaining very
well in advance what she was going to do, and being very gentle. She was
very good at explaining what was going on and what further treatment
would be needed. I thought that her charges were very reasonable,
especially considering she came out on a home visit on a Saturday. I
have full confidence in Hafiza and would recommend her with no hesitation.


I am a dental therapist and I am constantly being subjected to the high pitched noise of the drill and the scaling tip. I felt I needed my ears to be checked. Hafiza was very professional, she explained what was happening to my hearing and what I need to do to prevent hearing loss. I am currently having some moulds to wear whilst treating patients. I am very happy with the service. Thank you for looking after me.


Hafiza's recommendations resulted in my tinnitus being diagnosed as acoustica neuroma. Something I probably would have just considered as being the result of not looking after my hearing at gigs!


Great information and great service. Would not hesitate to recommend!
