Invisible in the Canal (IIC)

If hidden hearing is important to you, invisible hearing aids designed to sit right down inside the ear canal may be the answer.

All of our custom-made hidden hearing aids come with up to a 30 day trial.

Invisible hearing aids tend to be fully automatic and are similar to contact lenses in that you should put them in in the morning and leave them all day.

Completely in the Canal (CIC)

A very popular hearing aid, just slightly bigger than the IIC, the CIC still offers hidden hearing.

The CIC has more functionality than the IIC and is more robust, especially when available in titanium.

Very discreet once in your ear, they can generally be classed as invisible hearing aids.

In the Canal (ITC)

ITC style hearing aids are custom made, based on an impression taken of your ear canal and the surrounding area.

They are slightly larger than completely in the canal (CIC) hearing aids, but are still considered cosmetically appealing.

Also popular is the Mini ITC style hearing aid.

In the Ear (ITE)

These hearing aids are good if dexterity is an issue. Still very discreet, they are easy to manage.

Nothing over your ear and generally fully automatic, so you put them in and leave them.

All of our ITE hearing aids come with up to a 30 day trial.

Receiver in the Canal (RIC)

Without question, the most popular hearing aid on the market.

This hearing aid is not only invisible when fitted correctly, it also has the most functionality, allowing it to cope with challenging situations better than any other hearing aid.

These types of aids also offer superior comfort over standard hearing aids due to the open fitting.

Customer feedback on these hearing aids is always among the best.

Behind the Ear (BTE)

The hearing aid that most people associate with.

People who do not wear hearing aids often think they all look like this because these are generally the most visible style.

Technology today means fewer people choose this type of aid.

Generally, only those with severe hearing loss or clients needing a robust hearing aid will opt for this style.
