What are Invisible Hearing Aids?
Invisible hearing aids are designed to be discreet and virtually invisible to the eye. Unlike other types of hearing aids, such as Receiver in Canal and Behind the Ear, they fit snugly inside the ear canal, ensuring a discreet and comfortable listening experience.
There are two types of invisible hearing aids: completely in the canal (CIC) and invisible in the canal (IIC). Both types are suited for individuals with mild to moderate hearing loss.
Invisible in the Canal (IIC) Hearing Aids
Invisible in the canal hearing aids are the smallest and most discreet size of hearing aids currently available. They fit deep within the ear canal and are often custom-made to ensure a comfortable fit.
Invisible in the Canal (IIC) Hearing Aids
Invisible in the canal hearing aids are the smallest and most discreet size of hearing aids currently available. They fit deep within the ear canal and are often custom-made to ensure a comfortable fit.
Benefits of Invisible Hearing Aids
There are many benefits of opting for an invisible hearing aid over a more traditional model, such as behind-the-ear.
Discreet Appearance
Invisible hearing aids are designed to be highly discreet, with no external wires or tubes, making them almost unnoticeable when in the ear canal. This makes them ideal for individuals who are concerned about wearing an obvious hearing aid.
Natural Sound Quality
Because invisible hearing aids fit deeply inside the ear canal, they are less likely to pick up on wind noise and can offer a more natural listening experience. They often offer advanced digital technology for clear sound quality.
Comfortable Fit
Many invisible hearing aids are custom-made, so they fit snugly inside the ear canal, ensuring a comfortable and secure fit. However, there are some instant-fit models available, such as the Signia Silk, which can be worn straight away.

Invisible Hearing Aids FAQs
1. Are There Invisible Hearing Aids?
Yes, there are many invisible hearing aids available. Invisible hearing aids are commonly known as Invisible in the Canal (IIC) or Completely in the Canal (CIC) hearing aids. Both of these types of hearing aids fit deep inside the ear canal, offering a discreet appearance, a comfortable fit and natural sound quality.
2. Are Invisible Hearing Aids Any Good?
Yes, invisible hearing aids are a great option for many individuals with mild to moderate hearing loss. If you’d like to learn more about invisible hearing aids and if they’re the right option for you, we recommend booking a hearing aid consultation and hearing test.
3. How Do Invisible Hearing Aids Work?
Invisible hearing aids are designed to be placed deep inside the ear canal. They use a microphone to capture sound, which is then converted into electrical signals and processed by an amplifier. A speaker then delivers the amplified sound to the eardrum. Because invisible hearing aids are placed deep within the ear canal, close to the eardrum, they can offer a more natural listening experience than other types of hearing aids.
4. How Much Are Invisible Hearing Aids?
Invisible hearing aids can range in price from £1495 for one up to £3490 for a pair. View prices for our most popular invisible hearing aid models.
5. Can Invisible Hearing Aids Assist With Tinnitus?
Yes, invisible hearing aids can help alleviate tinnitus symptoms if individuals are also affected by hearing loss. This is because they amplify sounds, potentially helping to mask tinnitus sounds. Book your hearing aid consultation to discuss your hearing aid needs with our expert audiologist.
6. Are Invisible Hearing Aids Suitable for Everyone?
No, unfortunately, invisible hearing aids are not suitable for everyone. Invisible hearing aids are best suited for those with mild to moderate hearing loss and, therefore, may not be the best choice for individuals with profound hearing loss.
We recommend booking a hearing aid consultation if you’re unsure if invisible hearing aids are suitable for your hearing loss. This consultation includes our premium hearing and speech test so we can accurately assess your hearing loss and recommend the most appropriate type and model of hearing aid for your needs.
