Invisible-in-Canal (IIC) Hearing Aid

Small in Size, Big on Performance & Clarity

What is an IIC Hearing Aid?

If you have been told you might need hearing aids but worry about visibility, comfort, or practicality, an Invisible-in-Canal (IIC) hearing aid could be the perfect solution.

IIC hearing aids are the smallest and most discreet type of hearing aid available. They are custom made to fit deep inside your ear canal, making them virtually invisible to others. Despite their tiny size, they are designed to deliver clear, natural sound quality for people with mild to moderate hearing loss.

Who Should Use IIC Aids?

IIC (Invisible-in-Canal) hearing aids are designed to be discreet, comfortable and effective, but they are not a β€œone size fits all” solution. They are best suited for certain groups of people who want both clear hearing and near invisible design.

If you want your hearing aid to be nearly invisible, IIC aids are the best choice. They sit deep inside the ear canal, making them virtually undetectable.

IIC aids are designed for people with mild to moderate levels of hearing loss. They offer clear sound quality without the bulk of traditional models.

For those who spend time in meetings, social events, or public speaking, IIC aids provide both confidence and comfort by being hidden and effective.

Many younger users prefer IIC aids because they are stylish, small, and don’t interfere with lifestyle activities like sports or casual gatherings.

Because of their placement inside the ear canal, IIC aids use the ear’s natural acoustics. This allows for a more natural listening experience, especially in quiet conversations.

I was struggling with mild to severe hearing loss as a student and visited many clinics, where most specialists recommended RIC hearing aids. However, Dr. Jithin took the time to understand my situation and suggested an IIC (Invisible-in-Canal) hearing aid instead. It turned out to be the best decision for meβ€”I am now able to hear clearly and it has made a huge difference in my daily life. Thanks to the excellent support and care I received, I am now in a good job and feel much more confident. I am very grateful to Dr. Jithin and highly recommend this clinic to anyone looking for the right hearing solution!

FAQs on IIC Hearing Aids

IIC (Invisible-in-Canal) hearing aids are designed to be placed deep inside your ear canal, making them nearly invisible to others. This makes them a popular choice for people who want discreet hearing support without compromising on performance.

Yes, you can. Since IIC hearing aids sit entirely inside the ear canal, they don’t interfere with glasses or masks. This makes them comfortable for individuals who wear spectacles daily.

IIC hearing aids usually come with small batteries that need replacing every 5-7 days, depending on usage. Some newer models also come with rechargeable options, making them more convenient for everyday use.

IIC hearing aids are best suited for mild to moderate hearing loss. If you have severe or profound hearing loss, your audiologist may recommend more powerful options like BTE (Behind-the-Ear) hearing aids for better amplification.

Some modern IIC models offer wireless connectivity, allowing you to pair them with smartphones for streaming calls, music, and videos. However, not all IIC aids have this feature, so it’s best to check with your audiologist before choosing a device.

IIC hearing aids are generally not recommended for children. Since children’s ears grow rapidly, custom-fit IIC devices may need frequent replacement. For kids, BTE or RIC (Receiver-in-Canal) models are often more practical and adaptable.

The price of IIC hearing aids can vary depending on the brand, technology level, and features. On average, they may range from β‚Ή35,000 to β‚Ή2,50,000 per pair in Bangalore, India. Factors like Bluetooth connectivity, rechargeability, noise reduction, and advanced sound processing can influence the cost. It’s best to consult with your audiologist for a recommendation based on your hearing needs and budget.
