There are four main types of ITE hearing aids:

• Invisible in the canal hearing aid (IIC)
• Completely in-canal hearing aid (CIC)
• In-canal hearing aid (ITC)
• full shell hearing aid (ITE)

In-ear hearing aids are often used by people with mild to moderate hearing loss. Although the largest ITE hearing aid, the ITE Full Shell is also suitable for those with severe hearing loss. To create your custom ITE hearing aid, your audiologist will create a mold or mold of your ear. This mold is used to make your ITE hearing aid specifically to the shape and size of your ear. ITE hearing aids fit your hearing needs and lifestyle.

If you are interested in in-ear hearing aids, there are several different styles to choose from.

Invisible hearing aid

The IIC hearing aid is an in-ear hearing aid that offers maximum refinement. These small hearing aids are suitable for those with mild to moderate hearing loss. They fit deep into your ear canal, so they are much less visible to the wearer’s ear.

CIC hearing aids

Completely in-the-canal (CIC) hearing aids are used entirely in the ear canal for those who experience mild to moderately severe hearing loss.

ITC hearing aids

An in-canal hearing aid is a style of ITE hearing aid that fits inside the ear canal and is partially visible because it is slightly forward. You can choose from a wide range of meat finishes to make it less noticeable. It is suitable for those with mild to severe hearing loss, and due to its slightly larger size, it can accommodate more features. ITC hearing aids have a wide range of customization options that create a custom hearing aid for your needs and lifestyle.

Full loose or semi loose ITE hearing aids

The biggest styles of in-ear hearing aids include full-shell or semi-shell in-ear hearing aids. Full-shell hearing aids fill most of the ear cavity. Both hearing aid models are suitable for those with moderate to severe hearing loss. They are larger in size than other ITE hearing aids but can have full features such as volume control and directional microphones (two microphones instead of one to help understand speech in noise and orientation).
