Invisible-In-Canal (IIC)

Invisible-in-Canal (IIC) hearing aids are what people typically refer to when they say invisible hearing aids. At Accurate Hearing Centers, we talk about two types of hearing aids: BTE — outside-the-ear and ITE — customized inside-the-ear models. Both types are small hearing aids, designed to be as discreet as possible. As hearing technologies improve, so do devices.  And even small BTE hearing aids that fit outside the ear can be hard to notice if you don’t know they are there.  Invisible ITE hearing aids inside the ear are custom-made to fit the shape of your ear’s anatomy. A custom hearing device is created using a silicone impression of the ear canal, which your hearing care professional will make from your ear. There are a variety of in-the-ear invisible hearing aids. Invisible-in-Canal (IIC) is the smallest, custom product available. IIC invisible hearing aids sit deep inside the ear canal, so it’s practically undetectable to everyone around you. IIC invisible hearing aids are the perfect solution for those who want a discreet hearing aid and have mild-to-moderate hearing loss.

If you have severe hearing loss, there are still many options to get a discreet hearing solution. By examining your unique requirements, you and your hearing care professional can determine the best fit for your needs. There’s a hearing aid out there for everyone.

 

Esteem by Envoy

Esteem is designed to help improve the hearing of many adults with moderate to severe sensorineural hearing loss. Esteem is fully implanted in the middle ear. It is not a hearing aid.  The technology consists of the Sound Processor, implanted behind the outer ear, and two transducers (called the Sensor and Driver) that are implanted in the middle ear.

 

Because all the parts of Esteem are implanted, Esteem is invisible to you and others, making it a totally invisible alternative to hearing aids. The materials used to make Esteem have been proven safe and reliable in millions of pacemakers and other implanted medical devices. Esteem uses your own eardrum as a natural microphone, picking up sounds through the ear canal, thereby using the body’s natural anatomy to reduce the background noise, distortion, and acoustic feedback that people experience with conventional hearing aids.
