You have likely already guessed that “Invisible Hearing Aids” are called invisible because they are virtually invisible. In fact, they can only be seen when someone is looking down your ear canal! Their physical size is barely bigger than that of a large jellybean. Invisible hearing aids are easily the smallest hearing aid style available. Being small has its advantages, and its disadvantages. Let’s discuss a few.
The main reason people wear invisible hearing aids is to hide the hearing aids from being noticed. Every part of the hearing aid is tucked deep into the ear canal except one thin transparent plastic tether used to retrieve them. This is why they are also called invisible in the canal (IIC) hearing aids.
Hearing is very natural with invisible hearing aids. Because they are deep fitting, they sit in the deep bony portion of your ear canal millimetres from your eardrum. This location significantly reduces the common sensation of hearing your own voice louder than it really is. Also, being deep within the ear canal means the outer ear funnels sound into the invisible hearing aid for an incredible realistic sound environment.
Sound quality is extremely natural with invisible in the ear hearing aids.
Using a phone with invisible hearing aids is extremely easy and feedback is never a problem. This is because the hearing aid is deep in the ear canal.
Despite their small size, invisible hearing aids have a lot of power to treat a wide range of hearing loss. In fact, invisible hearing aids are used to treat mild to moderately severe hearing loss.
Invisible hearing aids are great for people that wear protective head gear. If you need a helmet for work, or a pastime, you will totally appreciate the fact that invisible hearing aids do not stick out. Taking a helmet on and off much easier with invisible hearing aids.
The “pro” benefit of small size can also be a con. It takes considerable manual dexterity to be able to insert and remove the hearing aids. Also, battery changes can prove to be difficult due to the tiny size.
Severe hearing loss is unfortunately unable to be treated with invisible hearing aids. The physical size and subsequently smaller battery just don’t have the power with current technology.
