In-The-Canal (ITC) Hearing Aids

Full range of sound with half the visibility

In-the-canal hearing aids, also called ITC, sit snuggly in the lower portion of the outer ear. Tailor-made to your ear's shape, the design is extremely discreet, yet large enough to contain all of the powerful features you need. With a range of colors that can be matched to your skin tone, you can enjoy a full range of sounds with a barely-there appearance.

With in-the-canal hearing aids, all essential elements are stored in the shell of the device. A microphone gathers the sound, converts it into sound waves that are enhanced through an amplifier, and then sends it to a speaker. It's a small device packed with power.

In-the-canal hearing aids offer a custom, comfortable fit with skin-tone matching colors for stealth. They don't impede daily activities, ensuring clear sound with their dual-microphone design. Additionally, their small size incorporates state-of-the-art technology for optimal hearing assistance.

A barely-there design that delivers a clear, quality sound—the only question left is: Are in-the-canal hearing aids a good option for your hearing health? Those living with mild to severe hearing loss can benefit from the ITC model. And with plenty of customizable options, we're certain you'll find a hearing aid that fits your exact needs and lifestyle.

The benefit of the in-the-canal design is its custom fit to the shape of your ear. If you have a hearing aid that has been properly fitted to your ear, it should fit comfortably and provide a clear, authentic sound. With that said, any new device will take a bit of time to get used to.
