Completely-in-Canal (In-the-Canal) hearing aids are much smaller in size than other models. The battery and components are stored in the housing that slides into the ear canal. These types of hearing aids are often mistaken for wireless ear buds. The outer housing is completely customized to the wearer's ear by taking precise earmolds. The latest models offer Bluetooth® connectivity and rechargeability.
More InfoLyric Invisible Hearing Aid
Lyric hearing aids are the smallest device on the market today. The device is completely discreet as it is inserted deep into the ear canal by a licensed hearing expert. Its small size does limit its battery life and additional features. Generally, Lyric devices are left in ear canal and swapped out by a hearing expert every ~30 days. This is advantagous for those leading an active lifestyle.
