Ultra-Discreet “Completely-in-the-Canal” Devices for Clear Hearing

CIC hearing aids, or Completely-in-the-Canal hearing aids, are small custom-fitted devices that sit deep inside your ear canal. They capture and amplify sound naturally, offering clear hearing while staying nearly invisible to others.

CIC hearing aids in India start from around ₹22,000 and can go up to ₹2,50,000 depending on the brand, sound processing technology, and customization. Leading options include Signia, Widex, Phonak, and Oticon.
