The global invisible in-the canal hearing aids market is projected to grow at a CAGR value of 10.5% from 2022 to 2027.
Invisible or ultra-small hearing devices are one of the smallest and smart devices in the hearing aid industry. This type of device is specially designed to fit in the ear canal entirely without it being seen from the exterior. Such devices are helpful for patients who have mild to moderate hearing loss. Because of its customized feature, and invisibleness, the IIC hearing aids have been in the trend since the inception of small sized hearing devices in the market.

Also, these vary in colour, size, and special features such as portable charging units. Invisible hearing aids inside the ear are custom-made to fit the shape of your ear. A custom hearing device is created using an ear mold.

The fact that a majority of people who require audiology services (aged over 65 years) are also the ones at the highest risk of COVID-19 related mortality and morbidity, underscores the importance of reassessing how hearing care is delivered.
