Hearing Instrument, HI-Types

A silver BTE-hearing instrument and silver chain look as though they were meant to be worn together. Matching your new BTE's color with the color of your hair, skin or perhaps your favourite jewellery is easy.

Custom instruments have a look-and-feel of their own for a completely discreet look. The following pictures show different instrument constructions. Custom instruments have different sizes: CIC, CS; CT and IT. The smallest is the CIC and the IT is the largest.

Completely-in-the-Canal (CIC). The smallest of the hearing instruments, these are custom-made to fit deeply inside your ear canal so that they are practically invisible.
CS instruments are also custom-made and small enough to fit almost entirely in your ear canal. They can be hardly noticeable.
CT instruments are also custom-made and small enough to fit almost entirely in your ear canal. They are hardly noticeable.
IT instruments are a full-shell. They are also known as the Concha because it completely fills the deepest concavity of the external ear.
