What are invisible hearing aids?

Invisible hearing aids sit completely in a person’s ear. They’re often so small they’re nearly invisible to the naked eye. They’re made up of a single plastic shell, sometimes covered by a soft plastic dome, that is inserted into the ear.

How do invisible hearing aids work?

Invisible hearing aids house hearing aid technology and a tiny battery inside a plastic shell. This shell is then inserted directly into the ear. Some people find this a more comfortable hearing aid option because there are no physical parts of the hearing aid outside their ear.

What do IIC, ITE, and CIC mean?

Invisible-In-Canal (IIC)

The smallest hearing aids that fit completely inside the ear, they’re extremely discreet and are less likely to pick up on wind due to their unique placement entirely in the ear.

In-The-Ear (ITE)

The smallest hearing aids that fit completely inside the ear, they’re extremely discreet and are less likely to pick up on wind due to their unique placement entirely in the ear.

Completely-In-Canal (CIC)

Are another type of invisible hearing aid that offers slightly more control for a wearer. With CIC hearing aids you can change the volume and switch between different programs depending on your environment.

The pros of invisible hearing aids

Invisible hearing aids are the most discreet hearing aids available. They are the only option that provides no visible hearing aid parts outside the ear canal. They are comfortable for people who wear glasses, as they do not sit behind the ear.

Why some choose not to get invisible hearing aids

As the body of an invisible hearing aid is so small, many of the enhanced sound quality features found in other hearing aids simply cannot fit. The batteries used for these types of hearing aids need to also be incredibly small. Therefore, invisible hearing aids are only recommended for those with more mild hearing loss. Additionally, some can find invisible hearing aids difficult to handle due to dexterity issues.
