How Completely‑In‑Canal hearing aids work

Keen to know how the CIC style operates? Listen up!

  • Completely‑In‑Canal hearing aids are custom‑made to fit comfortably and completely inside the ear canal.

  • Their small size contains all the components needed to amplify and process sound to help you hear better.

  • Sound is delivered directly into your ears through the speaker positioned within the canal.

CIC style benefits and considerations

Our customers have spoken up about their favourite Completely‑In‑Canal features:

  • The Completely‑In‑Canal’s discreet size and in‑ear placement make this fitting style nearly invisible when worn.

  • If you like the thought of a more natural sound experience, you’ll experience that with the Completely‑In‑Canal, thanks to the receiver’s deep but comfortable placement inside the ear canal. It takes advantage of the natural acoustics of the ear which contributes to the quality of natural sound.

On the other hand, compared to other styles, there might be some potential downsides depending on what you need.

  • To put your hearing in good hands, the Completely‑In‑Canal’s smaller size needs good dexterity to handle the device and adjust the settings.

  • The in‑ear style can make Completely‑In‑Canal hearing aids more susceptible to moisture and debris collection. So you’ll want to ensure your ears and hearing aids are cleaned as needed to keep the sound crisp and clear.

  • Consider your technology needs – the Completely‑In‑Canal’s smaller design may have limited space for additional controls and features you may like.
