In-The-Canal (ITC)

  • Description: The ITC hearing aid is custom-made to fit partially in the ear canal, making it discreet and less visible than behind-the-ear (BTE) models. It sits comfortably in the lower portion of the outer ear.

  • Features:

    • Customized to fit the individual ear canal, providing a comfortable and secure fit.
    • Offers a good balance between size and functionality, suitable for mild to moderate hearing loss.
    • May include features such as volume controls, telecoil options, and directional microphones.
    • Provides natural sound perception and reduces occlusion effect compared to completely-in-the-canal (CIC) models.
  • Benefits:

    • Provides discreet and cosmetically appealing amplification, blending seamlessly with the outer ear.
    • Offers improved sound quality and comfort compared to behind-the-ear (BTE) styles for some users.
    • Suitable for individuals with active lifestyles who prefer a smaller and less noticeable hearing aid.
  • Considerations:

    • Requires good manual dexterity for insertion and removal due to its small size.
    • May not accommodate as many advanced features as larger hearing aid styles.
    • The smaller size may result in shorter battery life compared to larger models.
  • Who It’s For:

    • Individuals with mild to moderate hearing loss seeking a discreet and comfortable hearing aid solution.
    • Those looking for a balance between size, functionality, and cosmetic appeal.
    • Users who prefer a customized fit for enhanced comfort and sound quality.
