MC: Mini-Canal Hearing Aid

DEVICE APPEARANCE

How the Mini-Canal Hearing Aid Looks and Feels

The mini-canal hearing aid is a custom built hearing aid style that is known to be suitable for moderate to severe hearing loss. These aids use #10A disposable batteries, the smallest battery available. This style is quite small, but slightly larger than the CIC design.

As a result of its size, the mini-canal is not likely to pick up wind noises. Like the IIC and CIC hearing aid styles, the mini-canal (MC) is very discreet and fits comfortably in your ear, provided that your ear anatomy is a certain size. Wondering if the mini-canal hearing aid style is for you? Request an appointment with a local NexGen Hearing Clinic to talk about your options.

AUDIO NOTES

The Best Hearing Aid for Moderate to High Background Noise

The mini-canal hearing aid produces a natural sound profile, using the advantage of the resonances of the ear profile to conduct its natural function, just like the CIC hearing aid. The users voice will sound more natural to themselves in comparison to styles with a microphone outside of the ear canal. Equipped with directional microphones, this aid is the highest performer (in the #10 battery segment) in moderate to high background noise situations.
