As its name suggests, a “completely-in-the-canal” (CIC) hearing instrument fits entirely into the ear canal of the user, where it is all but invisible to onlookers. For this reason, CIC instruments are preferred by those who want to remain completely discreet about their hearing losses. The positioning of CIC instruments in the ear canal also provides users with overall natural sound quality that stems from use of the outer portions of their ears (auricles) to gather sound and direct it inside the ear. This least visible of all hearing instruments is also well-suited to treating hearing loss that ranges from mild to moderately severe. However, CIC instruments may require a bit more maintenance.
Choosing the right hearing aids involves working with a trustworthy provider to find a product that fits your type of hearing loss, your lifestyle, and your budget.

P.S. Completely-in-the-canal (CIC) hearing instruments are less prone to feedback.
