Open Ear Devices (Slim Tube Style)

Completely-in-the-Canal (CIC) The newest and smallest hearing aids available, these fit deep inside your ear canal so that they're nearly invisible.

In-the-Canal (ITC) These are small enough to fit almost entirely in your ear canal, making them hardly noticeable.

In-the-Ear (ITE) These are one-piece aids custom-made to fit within your ear. They are the most widely recommended hearing aid style.

Behind-the-Ear (BTE) These fit snugly behind your ear and are attached to a custom earpiece molded to the shape of your outer ear.

Open Ear Devices (Slim Tube Style). These tiny units are cosmetically appealing. They provide natural sound, minimize whistling, and eliminates the plugged-up feeling.
