Invisible-in-canal (IIC)
Invisible-in-canal (IIC) hearing aids are the smallest custom hearing aids available. They are designed and sculptured to fit entirely inside your ear canal (external auditory meatus) and are therefore almost, if not completely, invisible. Extraction cords are usually fitted to IIC hearing aids to help insert and remove them from the ear.
Benefits
Miniature size and invisible appearance. The location of the microphone in the ear canal, as opposed to behind the ear, helps with using the telephone.
The preservation of the natural acoustics provided by the external ear (pinna) help with localizing the direction of sound from in front and behind you.
