Invisible in Canal (IIC)

The latest generation of hearing aids, with their ground-breaking technical features, are smaller and smarter than ever. The invisible-in-the canal (IIC) hearing aid has an invisible design that is the perfect solution for those seeking a discreet hearing aid.
The IIC is worn deep within the ear canal, allowing you to hear more of the sounds around you with a device that is hardly visible in and around your ear. You are thus given the benefit of a hearing aid without explicitly showing that you are wearing it.

How do invisible-in-the-canal (IIC) hearing aids work?

  • one or two microphones (the IIC has only one microphone)
  • an amplifier (makes sound louder)
  • a microchip (also otherwise known as a signal processor)
  • a loudspeaker
  • a battery.

The IIC receives sound as it naturally enters the ear canal and is then able to amplify it towards the eardrum. The fact that it is deeply situated within your ear canal means that it is placed closer to your eardrum than other hearing aids. The IIC is usually fitted with a removal line to help with insertion and removal from your ear. The IIC is suitable for those with mild to moderately severe hearing loss.
