In-the-Canal (ITC) Hearing Aids
In-the-Canal (ITC) hearing aids fit partially inside the ear canal for a more discreet look than behind-the-ear or in-the-ear styles. They’re designed for comfort and natural sound quality and are best suited for mild to moderate hearing loss.
Why Choose an ITC Hearing Aid?
Because ITC hearing aids sit partially inside the ear canal, they’re less visible than larger styles while still leaving enough room for manual controls and a reasonably sized battery. This makes them a popular middle ground for people who want more discretion without sacrificing ease of use.
Pros and Cons
Pros
ITC hearing aids are larger than CIC hearing aids, so they can usually accommodate more features and more power. Some also find them to be a little more comfortable. This type of hearing aid is also less visible than some other larger models.
Cons
Because of their size and location, ITC hearing aids are slightly more visible than CIC models. They are also susceptible to earwax-caused speaker problems. Because of their small size, some models may be difficult to adjust.
