In-the-Ear (ITE)
hearing aids are custom-made to fit the outer ear. They are easy to use, may include manual controls, and suit mild to severe hearing loss.
Invisible-in-Canal (IIC)
hearing aids sit deep inside the ear canal and are nearly invisible. They are designed for mild to moderate hearing loss and specific ear anatomies.
