That’s why we offer so many options. including hearing aids Completely-in-Canal (CIC) and In-the-Canal (ITC) In this blog post we explain the differences between the two types of hearing aids. To help you make the right choice. 

CIC (Completely-in-Canal): These hearing aids are the smallest and most discreet. It is the right size for the ear canal, making it invisible to others. 

ITC (In-the-Canal): ITC hearing aids are slightly larger and fit partially into the ear canal. They remain discreet. But it may be more visible than with a CIC  device.

CIC: Due to their smaller size than CIC hearing aids, there may be limited space for advanced digital processing, which may affect sound quality. 

ITC: ITC hearing aids have more space for digital components, allowing for better sound processing and a better listening experience.

CIC: CIC hearing aids typically use small disposable batteries that need to be replaced periodically. 

ITC: Some ITC models offer the convenience of a rechargeable battery, reducing the hassle of battery replacement. 

CIC: Although CIC hearing aids are very technologically advanced, But not all models may offer Bluetooth connectivity . 

ITC: Many ITC hearing aids are equipped with Bluetooth technology , allowing you to connect wirelessly to smartphones and other devices for seamless audio streaming and control.
