IN-EAR HEARING AID (CIC)

Completely In-Canal (CIC) hearing aids, as the name suggests, are one of the smallest and most discreet types of hearing aids that fit completely inside the ear canal. These devices are quite popular among users due to their almost invisibility and the natural hearing experience they offer. They are an ideal option for people with aesthetic concerns or those looking for a more discreet solution.

How Do CIC Hearing Aids Work?

CIC hearing aids are custom-made by taking a special mold of the user's ear canal. In this way, they fit perfectly in the ear canal. All components of the device (microphone, amplifier, speaker) are placed in this small cabinet in a miniature form. Since it receives and processes sounds directly from inside the ear canal, it is quite successful in preserving the natural acoustics of sounds coming from outside.

Advantages of CIC Hearing Aids

CIC hearing aids offer unique advantages to their users:

Superior Privacy and Aesthetics: Since they are completely placed inside the ear canal, they are almost unnoticeable from the outside. This is the biggest advantage for those who want to hide the fact that they are using hearing aids.
Natural Sound Perception: Thanks to their placement deep in the ear canal, sounds are perceived more naturally. Phone calls and the use of accessories such as hats and glasses are more comfortable.
Reduction in Wind Noise: Since the device is inside the ear canal, it minimizes the effect of wind on the microphone, providing clearer hearing even in windy weather.
Comfortable Use: Since it is specially produced for the person, it fits perfectly in the ear canal and offers comfortable use all day long.
Who is Suitable for?

CIC hearing aids are generally ideal for people with mild to moderate hearing loss. They can be preferred especially for the following situations:

Those Who Prioritize Aesthetic Appearance: Users who do not want their hearing aids to be visible from the outside.
Those with an Active Lifestyle: It causes less discomfort during sports and other physical activities thanks to its small size.

Those Seeking a Natural Sound Experience: Those who want a more natural hearing experience thanks to the direct transmission of sounds to the ear canal.
Those Making Frequent Phone Calls: Those who seek comfort in using headphones or telephone handsets.
However, it should be noted that CIC devices may not provide sufficient power output for very advanced hearing losses and that their battery life may be shorter than other models due to their small size. In addition, battery replacement or access to the device may be a little more challenging for people with limited manual dexterity.
