In-the-Canal (ITC)

One of the most versatile hearing aids available.

In-the-Canal (ITC) hearing aids are custom-made to fit in the ear canal making them a comfortable and snug fit. A smaller portion of the hearing aid showing in the outer ear, making them visible. In-the-Canal (ITC) devices tend to hold a powerful microphone, amplifier, and receiver all in a small shell.

Another form of this style is Completely-in-Cana (CIC) hearing aids, which are inserted deeper into the canal and contain a small transparent antenna for easy removal.
