Overview of Completely-In-Canal Hearing Aids
Powerful, subtle, and custom-fit for a snug, comfortable fit in your ear canal, Completely-in-the-Canal units are a good fit for activity-filled days with friends and family. CIC devices come equipped with external switches to give you more control over your hearing.
Bluetooth technology allows your hearing instrument to become a hub for streaming phone calls and media directly to your ears. Because CIC devices sit deeper in the canal you get clearer sound with less wind interference for a more natural hearing experience.
Special Care/Maintenance
Daily cleaning is an essential part of preventing moisture and wax buildup, which becomes a more significant problem with devices that fit in your ear canal. Follow the cleaning directions provided by your hearing care provider or device manufacturer for best results.
In addition to daily cleaning, you will need to replace wax filters and batteries frequently. Manufacturers also recommend following a six month maintenance schedule to optimize performance.
