2. The most discreet hearing aid
Modern hearing aids are more discreet than ever, and most styles we offer will be too. Even behind-the-ear hearing aids can be difficult to spot.
Some hearing aid models are now so small that they’re virtually invisible. They sit inside the ear canal, making them almost unnoticeable to other people.
The most invisible type of hearing aid
The smallest hearing aid type available comes in the invisible-in-the-canal (IIC) style. This is the best option if you are looking for a device that is close to invisible.
You can try an invisible-in-the-canal hearing aid at
one of our clinics.

4. The most comfortable fit
You’ll get the most out of your hearing aid if it fits comfortably. A comfortable hearing aid will become just another part of your daily routine.
When it comes to comfort, here are a few things to think about:
- The shape of your ear canal can influence which hearing aid will be most comfortable for you (i.e. in-the-ear hearing aids vs behind-the-ear hearing aids)
- Digital hearing aids offer optimal comfort since they work to support your brain's natural way of processing sound. Hearing amplifiers, on the other hand, merely make the sounds around you louder.
