The Philips HearLink 9040 miniRITE T R is a premium rechargeable receiver-in-canal (RIC) hearing aid sold exclusively at Costco Hearing Centers. This listing includes two hearing aids (a complete pair) with a charging case. The miniRITE T R style features a discreet behind-the-ear body measuring just 2.6 cm long and 1 cm wide, with a thin wire delivering sound via a receiver placed in the ear canal. It is rated IP68 for dust and water resistance.

The HearLink 9040 is powered by Philips' SoundMap 2 Plus AI sound processing platform, which automatically analyzes the listening environment to reduce background noise and enhance speech clarity. Two built-in directional microphones work with SoundMap Noise Control technology to focus on speech in noisy surroundings, while the Speech Clarifier feature helps conversations stand out in crowds. SoundProtect reduces sudden loud noises and wind noise for added comfort. The aids feature automatic program switching and binaural synchronization, so both aids adjust together when you change the volume or program on either device. Four listening programs and six color options are available, and the aids support telecoil (T-coil) for use with compatible loop systems.

Bluetooth Low Energy connectivity enables direct audio streaming from iPhone, iPad, and Android smartphones, as well as hands-free phone calls where the hearing aids' microphones pick up your voice without needing to hold the phone. The rechargeable lithium-ion battery fully charges in approximately 3 to 3.5 hours and provides up to 24 hours of use per charge. The Philips HearLink 2 companion app allows discreet volume and program control, remote hearing care consultations, and hearing aid tracking if a device is misplaced. Compatible accessories sold separately include the HearLink TV Adapter, AudioClip remote microphone, Remote Control, and Charger Plus portable charging case.
