Completely in the ear canal or CIC hearing aids are even smaller than in the ear ITE hearing aids, so that they are less visible and more convenient. They are not that suitable for severe hearing loss or frequent ear infections. Completely in the ear hearing aid can also be called invisible in canal haring aid. This type of hearing aid is good for people who don’t like other people to know that they have some hearing disabilities because it is inserted completely in the ear canal and therefore invisible. It is small and inserted deeply in the canal and is not visible even if you look directly in the ear. When a person wants this type of hearing aid it goes to the doctor where a mould of his ear shell is taken and then custom-made to fit the client. It provides a more natural sense of hearing because it is fitted so perfectly and not blocked by a big plastic shell. In that way it allows the ear to “breathe”. It depends on the size, but most of these hearing aids enables people to use their cell phones to arrange the memory and volume. They are more suitable for younger to middle aged people, but are not recommended for older people.
