This hearing aid does for your ears what a contact lens does for your eyes: Improves your hearing without anyone knowing it’s there.

Breaking News

At a recent gathering of the American Academy of Audiology (AAA), scientists revealed a hearing aid microchip processor so small that it can fit inside a hearing aid shell custom formed to your ear canal to fit right next to the ear drum. It sits so deep in the canal that it begins where other hearing aids end. And that makes it completely undetectab­le to anyone else. In fact, we like to say it’s “invisible.”

Packs a Punch

Despite its miniature size, the processor inside the “Invisible-In-Canal” hearing aid is so powerful it supports the most sophistica­ted advances in digital hearing technology to date. It is so fast, that it samples the listening environmen­t 20,000 times per second and makes automatic adjustment­s to the sound it delivers to your ear. When someone is talking, it is designed to quiet the background noise in-between syllables and amplify the speaker’s voice so that you can clearly hear and understand the words.

No Whistling, Buzzing or Plugged-up Feeling

It also supports the undisputed world-leading feedback cancellati­on technology. This means the annoying whistling and buzzing that your uncle’s old hearing aids used to make is a thing of the past. In addition, the positionin­g of the hearing aid beyond the second bend in the ear canal is meant to work with the ear’s natural acoustics to deliver more precise and natural sound—and resolve that plugged-up or head-in-a-barrel sensation (a complaint of many hearing aid wearers).

Are You Missing Too Much?

You’ve worked hard all your life. It’s time to be reaping some of that reward. Don’t let your hearing loss rob you of the things you enjoy most in life: the relationsh­ips with your friends and family. You can get help now without suffering the stigma of yesterday’s hearing aids.
