CIC
"CIC" stands for Completely-in-Canal hearing aids
Custom hearing aids are personalized devices that are specifically crafted to fit the unique shape and contours of an individual's ear.
Custom hearing aids are designed to offer superior comfort, better sound quality, and improved effectiveness compared to standard hearing aids, making them a preferred choice for many individuals with hearing loss.
A custom-made fit uses the shape of your ear to create a better hearing experience.
Comfortable fit, ease-of-use and discreetness are the key reasons for preferring a custom fit.
Modern in style, small in size Custom-made hearing aids are available in different styles, sizes and colours to suit your lifestyle and degree of hearing loss.
Part of a complete custom hearing solution You can easily control custom hearing aids as you would with other types of hearing aids by using apps, like the ReSound Smart 3D™ app, and wireless accessories.
Natural and personalised sound Custom hearing aids use the ear anatomy to collect sounds the way nature intended and can offer superior sound quality and a truly individualised listening experience.
Natural wind noise reduction As custom hearing aids sit inside the ear canal, they are naturally shielded from the wind.
Usability, comfort and custom fit Custom hearing aids are lightweight, ergonomic designs that are comfortable and easy to insert, wear and remove. They are ideal for active people, and don’t interfere with glasses.
Connectivity with everyday devices Custom hearing aids like ReSound offer great wireless connectivity via Bluetooth® as well as direct streaming of calls and music from iPhone, iPad or Android™ smartphones.
Types of custom hearing aids
Completely-in-Canal (CIC)
CIC style custom-made hearing aids are also small. This is to make room for the functionalities that give you options to customize sound, such as volume control and changing programs to suit different sound environments. Therefore, CIC custom hearing aids will suit you if you have a mild to moderate hearing loss and want a little more control over your hearing aids.
In-the-Canal (ITC)
The ITC custom hearing aid is the most popular style within custom-made hearing aids. It comes with even more options, including a dual mic, to hear the sound you want to focus on as well as be aware of sounds around you. ITC hearing aids also have wireless functionality, so they can connect with smartphones and stream phone calls and music directly to your ears.
In-the-Ear (ITE)
An ITE custom hearing aid is the largest style, and it covers all types of hearing loss, even severe hearing loss. Therefore, it has the most advanced features, such as ear-to-ear communication (right and left hearing aids connect with each other via a wireless signal). You can also enjoy wireless connectivity, so you can stream sound and calls from different iOS® and Android™* devices to the hearing aids.
