How it works

Upload your ear photo

Drop a photo showing your ear into EditThisPic. Side-profile shots with hair pulled back work best. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

Expect: Standard hearing aid addition: 20-30 seconds. Detailed custom molds: may need 1-2 refinements.
Describe the hearing aid style

Type 'add a small beige behind-the-ear hearing aid' or 'add an in-the-canal hearing aid that's nearly invisible.' Specify the style (BTE, RIC, ITE, ITC, CIC), color, and size. No marking needed — the AI understands ear anatomy.

Tip: Hearing aid style names (BTE, RIC, ITE) give the AI precise references. Adding the color (beige, silver, black) and size ('small,' 'discreet') completes the picture.

Copy one of these to get started:

Discreet BTE hearing aid add a small beige behind-the-ear hearing aid that matches my skin tone, with a thin clear tube going into the ear canal
Try This →

Modern silver BTE add a small silver behind-the-ear hearing aid in a modern metallic finish
Try This →

Receiver-in-canal (RIC) add a small receiver-in-canal hearing aid with the body behind the ear and a thin wire going into the canal
Try This →

In-the-ear (ITE) add an in-the-ear hearing aid that fills the outer ear bowl, matched to my skin tone
Try This →

3 more prompts

Nearly invisible CIC add a completely-in-canal hearing aid that's barely visible, just a small pull tab visible at the canal opening
Try This →

Bold colored hearing aid add a bright blue behind-the-ear hearing aid in a fun, visible color — treat it like an accessory
Try This →

Both ears with BTEs add matching small beige behind-the-ear hearing aids on both ears, symmetrical placement
Try This →
Review the preview

Check that the hearing aid sits naturally on your ear, the color matches your skin tone, and the size is proportional to your ear.
Refine with markers if needed

If the AI placed the hearing aid incorrectly, tap a marker at the correct ear position and regenerate.

Tip: Markers help for in-the-canal styles where the AI might not know exactly where the canal opening is on your specific ear.

If something looks off

Hearing aid looks too large for my ear

Why: The AI rendered a hearing aid that's disproportionally large compared to the ear.

Try: Specify size: 'add a very small, discreet BTE hearing aid' or 'mini behind-the-ear'

Try This →

Tip: Real hearing aids are smaller than most people imagine. Adding 'mini' or 'very small' produces more realistic sizing.

AI changed the wrong area or something I didn't want changed

Why: The AI couldn't determine exactly which area you meant from description alone.

Try: Tap a marker on the specific area you want to change, then regenerate with the same prompt

Try This →

Tip: Markers tell the AI 'I mean THIS one specifically.'

Skin tone color doesn't match

Why: The AI chose a hearing aid color that doesn't match the person's actual skin tone.

Try: Specify: 'match the hearing aid color exactly to my skin tone — look at the skin behind my ear'

Try This →

Tip: Referencing the specific skin behind the ear gives the AI the closest color reference point.

Hearing aid doesn't sit naturally on the ear

Why: The placement looks physically impossible or awkward.

Try: Use a true side-profile photo where the ear is fully visible and unobstructed

Try This →

Tip: The AI needs clear ear geometry to place the hearing aid naturally. Hair covering the ear makes placement guesswork.

Can't tell which style looks best

Why: Different hearing aid styles look too similar in the preview.

Try: Generate each style separately with clear labels, then compare the results side by side

Try This →

Tip: BTEs sit behind the ear, ITEs fill the ear bowl, CICs are nearly invisible. Separate previews make the differences clear.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark my ear before adding the hearing aid?

No! Just describe the hearing aid: 'add a small BTE hearing aid.' The AI places it naturally on your ear. Only use markers for very specific placement adjustments.

Can I compare different hearing aid styles?

Yes. Upload your ear photo once, then run separate edits — 'BTE,' 'RIC,' 'ITE,' 'CIC.' Compare how each style looks on your actual ear before your audiology appointment.

Is there a free hearing aid visualizer without signup?

Yes. EditThisPic is free to try with no account needed. Upload an ear photo, describe the hearing aid, and see it in 30 seconds. One free edit per week, credit packs from $1.99.

How do I see what hearing aids look like on me?

Upload a side-profile photo showing your ear to EditThisPic and type 'add a small BTE hearing aid.' The AI renders it on your ear in 20-30 seconds. Free, no app, any browser.

What hearing aid styles can the AI preview?

Behind-the-ear (BTE), receiver-in-canal (RIC), in-the-ear (ITE), in-the-canal (ITC), completely-in-canal (CIC), and any described style. Name the type for accurate rendering.

Can I show the preview to my audiologist?

Yes. Download the preview and bring it to your hearing aid fitting appointment. It helps communicate which style and color you prefer on your actual ear.

Does it show how visible the hearing aid would be?

Yes. The preview shows realistic visibility — BTEs are slightly visible behind the ear, CICs are nearly invisible. Try each style to see the actual visibility level.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. EditThisPic works in any mobile browser. Take a photo of your ear and preview hearing aids from your phone. No app needed.
