Sonic Captivate options and use

The difference between the options in the family

There are four options in the Sonic Captivate family. miniRITE and miniRITE T are small-housing models with the receiver in the ear canal. miniRITE T R has the same design with a rechargeable battery. BTE 105 is an option with a behind-the-ear housing. The degree of your hearing loss, the shape of your ear and your habits determine which one suits you.

Receiver-in-canal (RIC) design

In RIC models, the housing sits behind the ear, and the receiver, which produces the sound, sits inside the canal and is connected by a thin wire. A soft dome or a custom ear mould is fitted to the end of the receiver. As the wire is thin, the hearing aid is barely visible from the front.

Rechargeable or battery?

With the rechargeable miniRITE T R, you simply put the hearing aid in its charger every night and do not need to change batteries. This can make things easier for people whose fingers have become less sensitive. With battery hearing aids, you need to keep track of when the battery runs out. Carrying a spare battery with you makes this easier. We can talk together about which option fits your daily routine more comfortably.

Fitting and care

Our hearing specialist programs the chosen model for the results of your hearing test. You then try it in your daily life, and the settings are adjusted at follow-up appointments. For care, wipe the hearing aid with a dry cloth every day, change the domes and filters at the recommended intervals and keep it in a dry place at night. If BTE 105 is chosen, an ear mould can be made from an impression of your ear. We show you how to clean the mould and tube at the first appointment.
