Invisible hearing aids are now among the most highly debated developments within the hearing community. With maximum discretion being attempted with every move, these aids have a clear, but amplified, sound that cannot be seen. But are they truly invisible hearing aids? What types are they comparable to, and what sort of clients are they suited for?
What Are Invisible Hearing Aids?
Invisible hearing aids are extremely small, custom-designed devices that are placed deep in the ear canal. They are usually categorized as Invisible-in-the-Canal (IIC) or Completely-in-the-Canal (CIC). Their greatest advantage is invisibility—basically no one can see them when they are worn properly, especially when color-matched to the wearer’s skin tone.
Are They Truly Invisible?
But “invisible” doesn’t imply invisible under all conditions. Invisibility is a product of the configuration and width of your ear canal, the degree of insertion, and the extent to which someone is going to look at them. In most regular situations, invisible hearing aids are as inconspicuous as possible so that friends, colleagues, or even members of your immediate family will not notice them. Hence, they are a favorite among people who want a hearing solution but without drawing attention to it.
How Do Invisible Hearing Aids Work?
While small, invisible hearing aids are packed with the complete package of key components found in a modern digital hearing aid. All three feature a microphone to capture the sounds, a digital signal processor (DSP) to manipulate the sound based on your hearing option, and an infinitesimally small receiver to project the sound into the ear. Several offer noise reduction, feedback rejection, and volume automatic adjustment to assist in contributing another degree of comfort. These features help provide a more pleasant listening experience and make it easier for users to converse, even in noisy environments.
Benefits of Invisible Hearing Aids
Since they are placed further back in the canal, invisible hearing aids employ the natural acoustics of the ear to deliver a more natural sound, particularly for speech. This placement also minimizes wind noise. Yet, owing to space constraints, some advanced capabilities—such as Bluetooth streaming or rechargeable batteries—are typically not available on the smallest sizes.
Who Should Consider Invisible Hearing Aids?
Invisible hearing aids are ideal for mild and moderate hearing loss who value comfort, aesthetics, and discretion. First-time users or businesspeople who don’t want to draw attention to their devices enjoy these. Severe hearing loss or extremely constricted ear canals can be better suited with larger styles such as receiver-in-canal (RIC) or behind-the-ear (BTE) models. These styles can offer more powerful amplification and additional features.
The Pros and Cons
Of course, pros and cons exist. On the plus side: they’re barely visible, they offer a natural listening experience, and fit neatly, tailor-made. On the negative side: smaller batteries mean more changes, and they’re a bit challenging to handle. Due to their deep insertion, cleaning regularly is also required in order not to let moisture or earwax accumulate. Those inexperienced in holding small objects might find invisible hearing aids somewhat difficult to handle at first.
