CIC (COMPLETELY IN THE CANAL)
Completely-in-the-canal (CIC) hearing aids are the smallest size of hearing aids, practically invisible to an observer. Custom designed to fit the wearer's ear, CIC hearing aids fit deep inside the ear canal and most closely resemble the natural hearing process.
CIC hearing aids are meant for people with ear canals large enough to accommodate the insertion depth of the device into the ear and for people with mild to moderate hearing loss. They are usually not recommended for people with dexterity problems because they are very small instruments with tiny batteries.
Advantages
• CIC instruments are the smallest size available, nearly invisible, so they are cosmetically appealing.
• CIC hearing aids provide a close placement of the receiver (speaker) to the eardrum, which gives sound a natural boost in loudness.
• The microphone of a CIC instrument sits in your ear canal, simulating more natural sound reception.

Behind The Ear (BTE)
BTE instruments have a plastic casing that rests
behind the ear and houses the device's
technology. A clear plastic tube then directs
amplified sound into an earmold inside the ear
canal.

In The Ear (ITE)

technology components in a custom-formed earmold
that fits within the outer portion of the ear.

the outer ear.

canal.

Open fit hearing aids may be what you've been looking for in comfort and clarity of speech. These slim tube design instrument gives you the most natural sound quality.
Open fit hearing aids eliminate the "barrel effect" or hollow sound often associated with traditional custom hearing aids.
