Completely-in the-canal Hearing Aids

Completely-in-the-canal

(CIC) hearing aids are a

discreet, attractive option for

people with mild to

moderately-severe hearing

impairment.

CICs are custom fit to your

individuals ears. An impression

of the ear is made, and a

customized hearing aid shell is

made to fit deeply and snugly

into your outer ear canal.

Other advantages of deep

placement include reduction of

wind noise and more natural

sound conduction. Telephone

use is typically better with CICs

over other hearing aids without

the need for additional devices.

CICs are not for everyone. It is certainly

small, but that means that it is easier to

drop and lose. People with manual

dexterity difficulties may not be well-

suited to insert and remove the hearing

aid into and out of the ear or to put in

and remove batteries.

Deep placement makes this hearing aid more

likely to need repair due to wax and moisture

buildup. More preventative measure will need to

be completed to prevent these issues. A dehumidifier may be necessary to keep your

hearing aid moisture-free and more frequent

cleaning may be required to stay wax-free!
