Types of in-the-ear hearing aids
In-the-Ear (ITE)
The housing of this hearing aid completely fills the ear. Advantages include longer battery life, availability of a power version for severe hearing loss, and improved operation.
In-the-Canal (ITC)
This small, discreet model sits in the ear canal, filling only half of the ear. ITC hearing aids balance invisibility with functionality.
Completely-in-Canal (CIC)
CIC hearing aids offer ultimate discretion and typically have a nylon strand for easy removal. They are custom-moulded for a perfect fit.
Invisible-in-Canal (IIC)
IIC hearing aids are worn deep in the ear canal, making them almost invisible. They are ideal for those who want their hearing aids to be completely out of sight. Phonak's Titanium is an example of an IIC hearing aid.
