Tiny options: Completely-in-the-canal
                              hearing aids


Are you considering completely-in-the-canal (CIC) hearing aids?
These aids can be a good choice, very cosmetically attractive,
small     and     unobtrusive.        Careful
deliberation, however, should be
taken before making any decisions.
While there is tremendous appeal
to   CICs,      there   are    also    many
limitations. The severity of hearing
loss should also be considered.
Those     with     mild   to     moderate
hearing      losses     are     the     best
candidates, followed by those with
slightly more severe high-pitched
hearing losses.
The Good, the bad, and the ugly

The Good

CIC hearing instruments are small that they can fit deeply into
your outer ear canal. Virtually invisible, these aids typically work
well with telephone use and provide less wind noise background
than many other options.

The Bad

Due to the tiny size of a CIC, it may be difficult to manipulate
when inserting or removing from the ear. Persons with manual
dexterity issues may not benefit fully from this type of device.
Battery life is typically shorter since smaller batteries are used to
maintain the small overall size. Changing batteries can be more
difficult due to this small size.

The Ugly

Small has its trade-offs. In the case of hearing instruments, being
smaller means reducing the area available for additional options.
Since the faceplate of a CIC is so tiny, there is not room for
manual controls on the hearing aids. Lack of space also leads to
lack of a place for directional microphones. The deep fit and small
size does not lend well to multiple microphone options.
Careful consideration

While CIC hearing instruments are attractive and may be a viable
option for your hearing loss and life      style.   Take careful
consideration when choosing your aids, taking into account your
hearing health and life needs! Ask your audiologist or hearing
healthcare professional to help you through this decision-making
process. Let them help you determine whether CIC hearing aids
are right for you!
