IN-THE-EAR (ITE)
ITE hearing aids are an excellent choice for various degrees of hearing loss. These devices are typically compact, resembling an eartip, and are positioned in the outer part of the ear canal. Depending on the ear canal size, an in-the-ear hearing aid can be quite discreet.
During a fitting for an ITE hearing aid, the device’s shell is custom-crafted to match the unique contours of your ear. This personalized shell houses all the essential electronics, making it ideal for active individuals who need their hearing aids to remain secure. The batteries are accessible through a battery door on the hearing aid and can be easily replaced using a small magnetic wand.
Completely-in-canal (CIC) hearing aids provide an excellent discreet solution for individuals with mild to moderate-severe hearing loss. These aids fit deep inside the ear canal, often rendering them nearly invisible, depending on the ear’s size and shape. Widex CIC hearing aids are fully automatic, delivering clear and natural sound with little to no manual adjustments needed. They also feature a small extension cord for easy removal.

Their snug fit ensures exceptional comfort, often making users forget they are even wearing them. Additionally, IIC hearing aids are fully automatic, providing a seamless and natural listening experience.
