Invisible In The Canal (IIC) Hearing Aid

Invisible In The Canal (IIC) Hearing Aid

Being the tiniest custom made devices, they offer high cosmetic appeal as they are nearly invisible when worn. Like CIC devices, IIC styles fit very deeply in the ear canal, allowing the wearer to benefit from the pinna’s natural localization and resonance characteristics. They are typically fit for mild or moderate hearing losses.

Because of their small size, they don’t usually come with any Bluetooth capabilities or manual controls like volume controls or program buttons. Unfortunately, the deep positioning also makes these styles the most susceptible to damage from ear wax and moisture in the ear canal. IICs are only practical for people with very good dexterity because they have the smallest battery size and can be tricky to remove and insert.

Symptoms of hearing loss

There are different types of hearing loss that are experienced to various degrees and due to several causes. But the symptoms of hearing loss are basically the same.

If you answer yes to any of the following questions, there is a chance that you may have some degree of hearing loss. We urge you to have a hearing test conducted by a Hearing Care Professional.

• Do people always comment that the volume on your TV or radio is too loud?
• Have you missed visits and calls from people because you didn’t hear the doorbell or telephone ringing?
• Do you have trouble following conversations in crowded or noisy settings?
• Do people seem to mumble and not speak clearly during conversation?
• Do people tell you that you speak too loudly?
• Do you frequently ask people to repeat themselves?
• Do your friends and family suggest that you have a hearing problem?
• Do you have a difficult time understanding the words of popular songs when listening to the radio?

Degrees of hearing loss

Different levels of hearing loss are referred to as degrees, depending on the severity of impairment.

Degrees of hearing loss	Hearing threshold (in decibels, dB)	Ability to hear speech
None	0 - 25 dB	No perceptible difficulty.
Mild	26 - 40 dB	Difficulty hearing soft speech and conversations, especially in noisier or more reverberant situations, but can understand in quiet environments.
Moderate	41 - 55 dB	Difficulties understanding speech, especially in the presence of background noise. Higher volume levels are needed for hearing TV or radio.
Moderate to severe	56 - 70 dB	Clarity of speech is considerably affected. Speech has to be louder as usual, difficulties in group conversations will occur.
Severe	71 - 90 dB	Regular speech is inaudible. Difficulties even with loud speech. Comprehension often only possible through shouting or amplification.
Profound	91+ dB	Even amplified speech is difficult to understand or even inaudible.

The ear

The human ear consists of three parts- the outer, middle, and inner ear.

The outer ear:

consists of the visible part of the ear, also called the auricle, and the ear canal. What we call ‘noises’ are actually just ‘sound waves’, which are transmitted by the air. Sound waves are collected and guided through the ear canal to the eardrum. The eardrum is a flexible, circular membrane that vibrates when sound waves strike it.

The middle ear:

is an air-filled space separated from the outer ear by the eardrum, or the tympanic (pronounced: tim-`pa-nik) membrane. In the middle ear are three tiny bones: malleus, incus, and stapes, often referred to as the hammer, the anvil, and the stirrup. They are collectively known as the ossicles. These form a bridge from the eardrum to the inner ear. The ossicles also vibrate in response to movements of the eardrum and in doing so, amplify and relay the sound to the inner ear via the oval window.

The inner ear:

referred to as the cochlea (pronounced: kohk-le-a), is similar in shape to a snail shell. It contains several membranous sections filled with fluids. When the ossicles conduct sound to the oval window, the fluid begins to move, thus stimulating the minute hearing nerve cells, called hair cells, inside the cochlea. These hair cells in turn send electrical impulses via the auditory nerve to the brain where it will be interpreted as sound.

Types and Styles of Hearing Aids

#a1hearingaidcentre #8080629210 #02240161666

What are the different types and styles of hearing aids?

Your hearing professional can recommend one or more types based on factors such as your level of hearing loss, aesthetic preferences, lifestyle needs and budget. Most BTE and RIC styles come in a range of colors and metallic finishes to complement your hair or skin tone. *Individual results may vary. Invisibility may vary based on your ear's anatomy.

Invisible-In-The-Canal (IIC)

 

This custom-fitted style is inserted farther into the ear canal than other styles, so it's completely invisible* when worn. IIC hearing aids are designed to be removed daily to promote good ear health. For mild to moderate hearing loss.
*Individual results may vary. Invisibility may vary based on your ear's anatomy. 

Completely-In-Canal (CIC)

 

CIC hearing instruments are custom-made to fit completely in the ear canal. Only the tip of a small plastic “handle” shows outside the canal, which is used to insert and remove the instrument. For mild to moderate hearing loss.

In-The-Canal (ITC)

 

ITC hearing instruments are custom-made to fit in the ear canal with a smaller portion of the hearing aid showing in the outer ear. For mild to mildly severe hearing loss.

Receiver-In-Canal (RIC)

 

Barely visible when worn, the RIC style is an instrument in which the receiver, or speaker, is inside the ear canal. Thin electrical wires are used instead of a plastic acoustical tube, reducing distortion. RIC hearing aids provide a comfortable, open fit. For mild to moderate hearing loss.

Behind-The-Ear (BTE)

 

The hearing technology is housed in a casing that rests behind the ear. A clear plastic acoustical tube directs amplified sound into an earbud or a customized Ear mold that is fitted inside the ear canal. For moderate to severe hearing loss.
