Completely-in-canal hearing aids (CIC)The CIC is the smallest model in hearing aids and is especially suitable if you have a mild to moderate hearing loss. It is a custom made shell that contains all the electronic components. The shell is placed deeply in the ear canal, making the hearing aid almost invisible. A CIC therefore has a big aesthetic advantage: No one can actually see that you are wearing a hearing aid. For easy everyday removal, the CIC has a small extension cord attached to the outside. A CIC model works fully automatically. |
