Custom shaped hearing aids are moulded to fit your ear and ear canal. The
electronics sit within this moulded shape and there is no part that sits behind your ears.

Convenient and comfortable

There is no part of the hearing aid that sits behind the ear some patients prefer these, particularly if they wear spectacles or have particularly small ears.

Reduced sound quality

These hearing aids fill more of the ear canal, meaning you’re your own voice may sound echoey, similar to if you talk while blocking your ears with your fingers.

Less reliable

The electronics are sitting within the ear canal these hearing aids are more likely than “traditional” hearing aids to develop faults as a result of condensation or ear wax build up.

Harder to repair

If these hearing aids develop a fault they will require a trip to the manufacturer for repair, meaning that you are likely to be without your hearing aids for a period of 1-2 weeks.

IIC & CIC - Invisible in the Canal

Discrete

These are the smallest hearing aids available and sit completely within the ear canal, making them almost completely invisible when fitted properly.

Hearing in Noise

Unlike most other types of hearing aids, these have just one microphone and work independently of each other. This means that they pick up sound from all around you and are unable to directionally filter out background noise.

Battery Powered

These hearing aids are not available with rechargeable technology and run on the smallest batteries. This means that the battery has to be changed every few days which can be quite fiddly.

Bluetooth

Because Bluetooth is not available within these styles of hearing aids it is not possible to stream phone calls and media through them.

Power

Due to the small size, these hearing aids are limited as to their maximum volume, meaning that you may need to purchase a new set sooner than you would like if your hearing deteriorates.
