Are invisible hearing aids right for you?
Invisible-in-the-canal (IIC) and completely-in-the-canal (CIC) hearing aids are custom made to sit deep in your ear canal. They suit mild to moderate hearing loss and ear canals with enough room. They use small disposable batteries and are harder to handle than larger styles, so we always check your hearing, your ear canals and your dexterity first. If they are not the best fit, a slim receiver-in-canal model is often nearly as discreet.
Why choose an independent hearing aid centre
Chains often favour their own brand. As an independent clinic in Streetly, we fit hearing aids from Phonak, Oticon, Signia, Starkey, ReSound, Widex and Unitron. You do not need to choose a brand beforehand. We compare suitable options using your test results, how you live and what you want to spend.
Hearing aid styles we fit
- Behind-the-ear and receiver-in-canal. A slim case behind the ear with a fine wire into the canal. Suits most types of hearing loss, with controls you can find by touch.
- Rechargeable hearing aids. Charge overnight and they last all day, with no tiny batteries to change. Most of the hearing aids we fit are rechargeable.
- Bluetooth hearing aids. Stream phone calls, TV and music to your hearing aids and adjust them from an app on iPhone or Android.
- In-the-ear. A custom shell that sits in the outer ear with nothing behind it. Easier to handle than the smallest models.
- Invisible hearing aids. Custom-made to sit deep in the ear canal, so they are almost impossible to see. Best for mild to moderate hearing loss and ear canals with enough room.

Try hearing aids at home for 14 days
After your free hearing test, if hearing aids would help, we programme a trial pair to your results. Wear them for two weeks in your normal routine: at home, with family, shopping in Mere Green or walking in Sutton Park. Then keep them, try something different or hand them back. The trial is free.
