How ITC works

Keen to know how this fitting style operates? Listen up!

  • In‑The‑Canal hearing aids are housed within your custom‑made shell and fit partly into the ear canal.

  • The shell contains the components that amplify and process sound to help you hear better.

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

ITC style benefits and considerations

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

  • Our In‑The‑Canal hearing aids are less visible than other some fitting styles like In‑The‑Ear or Behind‑The‑Ear designs.

  • We can include buttons on your In‑The‑Canal hearing aids so you can adjust your listening settings and stay in control of your environment.

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 In‑The‑Canal’s smaller size needs good dexterity to handle and insert them into the ear canal.

  • Consider your technology needs – the In‑The‑Canal’s smaller design may have limited space for additional features you may like, such as directional microphones (which can help you hear in noisy environments by reducing down background noise).
