Frequently Asked Questions
How visible are CIC hearing aids?
CIC hearing aids fit completely inside the ear canal, making them very discreet. However, they may still be slightly visible depending on the shape and size of your ear.
What is the difference between CIC and IIC hearing aids?
Both are custom-made and discreet. IIC (Invisible-in-the-Canal) hearing aids fit deeper inside the ear canal and are generally less visible, while CIC (Completely-in-the-Canal) hearing aids sit slightly closer to the outer ear, often allowing for a few additional features depending on the model.
Can I use a CIC hearing aid for severe hearing loss?
CIC hearing aids are typically recommended for mild to moderately severe hearing loss. Individuals with more severe hearing loss may benefit from other hearing aid styles that provide greater amplification.
How long do CIC hearing aids last?
With proper care, cleaning, and regular servicing, CIC hearing aids can provide reliable performance for several years. Your audiologist will guide you on maintenance and replacement schedules.
