CICs are the smallest hearing aid style except for invisible-in-the-canal (IIC) hearing aids. They fit inside the ear canal, with only a small portion of the face visible, making them difficult to notice.
These one-piece hearing aids are custom molded to your ear canal. A small speaker rests on the back of the aid, while the microphone and battery door are on its face. A tiny cord helps you insert and remove the device.

Prone to moisture/earwax build-up | Natural hearing experience due to microphone’s placement close to the eardrum |
