Touch by SONIC Innovations won a Best of Innovations Award this past January at the 2010 International Consumer Electronic Show. Touch is a small, stylish solution for people who want to get back in touch with a world full of vibrant sound. It was the Touch microRIC (receiver in the canal) that was named a Best of Innovations 2010 Design and Engineering Awards Honoree. The advantage of the design of RIC hearing aids is more gain is allowed without the risk of whistling, thus RICs are able to fit more significant hearing losses than traditional open-fit BTE hearing aids.
