What are the disadvantages of completely in the canal (CIC) hearing aids?
More limited features and power
As Completely In the Canal (CIC) hearing aids as much smaller than many other hearing aid styles, which means that they are more limited in the amount and size of processors/amplifiers that can be included in their design. This means that they are generally not suitable for people who have more severe levels of hearing loss and require a higher-powered hearing aid.
Lower battery life
Again due to their smaller size, Completely In the Canal (CIC) hearing aids are only able to accommodate the smallest batteries. This means that the time between battery changes will be reduced and the power that they supply will only be enough to powerless or more simplified technological features.
Limited on-aid controls
This may be an obvious point but as Completely In the Canal (CIC) hearing aids are very small and st mainly within the ear canal it is very difficult to include control on the casing itself. Some models may have some very basic on-aid controls, but the vast majority of adjustments will need to be made via an external device or smartphone app, which may not be suitable for all users.
Higher levels of maintenance
Because Completely In the Canal (CIC) hearing aids sit within the ear canal itself it means that they are much more likely to become compromised by natural moisture from within the ear and potential buildup of earwax. If they are regularly and effectively maintained then this should not cause a problem, however, this level of care may not be suitable for everyone.
