In The Canal Hearing Aids

What are in-the-canal hearing aids?

ITC hearing aids are custom-made to sit partly in the ear canal, with the faceplate visible at the entrance of the ear.  

They’re smaller than in-the-ear (ITE) hearing aids but larger than completely-in-canal (CIC) models, striking an ideal balance. 

They’re ideal for people with mild to severe hearing loss who want something subtle but easy to handle.  

The design allows for advanced features like Bluetooth connectivity, directional microphones and rechargeability.

ITC limitations to think about

Our audiologists will make sure you have all the facts to make the best choice for your hearing and lifestyle. Here are a few things to consider for ITC aids:

Maintenance

Their in-ear position makes them more prone to wax build-up or moisture damage, requiring more cleaning and occasional receiver replacements.

Handling

Their smaller size can make handling tricky for those with limited hand movement.

Power level

May not be suitable for very severe hearing loss – BTE or Power BTE options might be better suited.
