Completely-in the-canal Hearing Aids
Completely-in-the-canal
(CIC) hearing aids are a
discreet, attractive option for
people with mild to
moderately-severe hearing
impairment.
CICs are custom fit to your
individuals ears. An impression
of the ear is made, and a
customized hearing aid shell is
made to fit deeply and snugly
into your outer ear canal.
Other advantages of deep
placement include reduction of
wind noise and more natural
sound conduction. Telephone
use is typically better with CICs
over other hearing aids without
the need for additional devices.
CICs are not for everyone. It is certainly
small, but that means that it is easier to
drop and lose. People with manual
dexterity difficulties may not be well-
suited to insert and remove the hearing
aid into and out of the ear or to put in
and remove batteries.
Deep placement makes this hearing aid more
likely to need repair due to wax and moisture
buildup. More preventative measure will need to
be completed to prevent these issues. A dehumidifier may be necessary to keep your
hearing aid moisture-free and more frequent
cleaning may be required to stay wax-free!
