Key feature of super-miniaturization

Every day is filled with sounds that make life richer—the gentle laugh of a loved one, your favourite song, the comforting sounds of nature. These are the moments that connect us to the world and to each other. At Amplifon, we believe that hearing these sounds should be an experience of pure joy, without distraction or self-consciousness. That's why the journey toward the miniaturization of hearing technology is so inspiring.

For many, the thought of a hearing aid brings to mind bulky, noticeable devices. But what if you could experience crystal-clear sound from a device so small it's virtually undetectable? Welcome to the world of invisible hearing aids.

Understanding In-the-Ear Hearing Aid Styles

When exploring discreet hearing solutions, it helps to understand the different styles available. While all are designed to be worn inside the ear, they vary in size and placement. Here’s a simple breakdown, from the most feature-rich to the most discreet:

All types of invisible hearing aids

ITE

In-the-Ear (ITE) hearing aids

In-the-Ear hearing aids

This style fills the outer part of your ear bowl. As the largest of the in-ear models, it is easier to handle and can include more features, like directional microphones and a longer battery life.

ITC

In-the-Canal (ITC) hearing aids

Smaller than the ITE, the ITC style sits comfortably in the lower part of the ear bowl. It offers a great balance of discretion and functionality, making it a popular and less visible choice.

CIC

Completely-in-the-Canal (CIC) hearing aids

Completely-in-the-Canal (CIC)

As the name suggests, CIC hearing aids fit almost entirely inside your ear canal. They are incredibly discreet, with only the tiny tip of a removal handle visible at the opening of the ear.

IIC

Invisible-in-the-Canal (IIC) hearing aids

This is truly the tiniest hearing aid available. It is placed deep in the second bend of the ear canal, making it completely invisible to others. Its custom fit ensures maximum comfort and discretion.

All these styles are powerful examples of hearing aid miniaturization, designed to give you the benefits of better hearing with the level of visibility you are comfortable with.

Frequently asked questions

Curious about hearing aids or how to get started? Here are some of the most common questions we receive. Explore each section to find the answers you need and feel more confident in your next step.

Do Invisible Hearing Aids Work for Everyone?

While the idea of a completely invisible device is appealing, its suitability depends on a few personal factors. The best way to determine if you are a candidate is through a comprehensive evaluation with a hearing care expert.

Considerations include:

Your Level of Hearing Loss: IIC and CIC models are typically best suited for mild to moderately severe hearing loss.
Your Ear Canal Anatomy: Since these devices are custom-fitted, the size and shape of your ear canal are important. A narrow or uniquely shaped canal may not be suitable.
Lifestyle and Dexterity: The smallest hearing aids use very small batteries that need to be changed regularly. If you have concerns about handling small objects, this is an important factor to discuss with your audiologist.

The only way to know for sure is to have a conversation. An Amplifon expert can assess your hearing and your lifestyle needs to help you make an informed choice.

Can you get invisible hearing aids with Bluetooth?

This is a rapidly evolving area. Due to their incredibly small size, the tiniest IIC models often don't have space for the components needed for Bluetooth streaming. However, many slightly larger (yet still very discreet) in-the-ear models now offer full Bluetooth connectivity, allowing you to stream calls and music directly to your hearing aids.

Can you place invisible hearing aids yourself?

Yes. During your fitting appointment, your Amplifon audiologist will teach you exactly how to insert and remove your devices with ease. They are designed for daily wear, and after a little practice, it will become a quick and simple part of your daily routine.

How long do invisible hearing aids last?

The lifespan of any hearing aid is typically between three to seven years, depending on care and maintenance. The small batteries used in IIC and CIC devices usually last for several days and are easily replaceable. Your audiologist will provide all the information you need to keep your devices in perfect working order.
