Completely in the Canal (CIC) Hearing Aids
The most invisible of hearing instruments, CICs sit deep in the ear canal leaving the hearing aid unnoticeable. Completely In the Canal aids maximise the natural resonance of the ear canal, therefore enhancing the high frequencies. Their position means they are less prone to wind noise during outdoor pursuits. Being so small does bring some disadvantages however with limited battery and inadequate room to fit extra facilities such as a telecoil.
