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.
