In-the-ear (ITE) Hearing Aids

This hearing aid is placed like an earplug in the ear canal. Once inside, it is virtually invisible to the naked eye. Some devices have an antenna-shaped tab to pull them out. In-the-ear hearing aids are available in different designs, which differ in size, performance and fit. To ensure optimal comfort, the hearing care professional takes a print of your ear canal to customize the shell.

Description

In-the-ear hearing aids belong to the closed supply, ie the auditory canal is largely or completely closed. Volume control and program selection can be done via a remote control. To ensure that the devices fit perfectly, they are individually adapted to the ear.
