Hearing aids are available in four basic styles designed to meet most hearing needs:

Completely-in-the-Canal (CIC) The newest, smallest hearing aids, these are custom-made to fit deeply inside your ear canal so they are practically invisible.

In-the-Canal (ITC) These are also custom-made and small enough to fit almost entirely in your ear canal. They can be hardly noticeable.

In-the-Ear (ITE) These are custom-made hearing aids made to fit within the external ear. They are the most widely recommended style.

Behind-the-Ear (BTE) These fit snugly behind the ear and are attached to a custom earpiece moulded to the shape of your external ear.
