The Invisible-in-Canal (IIC) hearing aids are designed to appeal to patients with cosmetic concerns. Such hearing aids are 100% undetectable by others. These aids are fit very close to the ear drum and thus, require less power and deliver natural and clearer sound. Increase in awareness about the availability of cosmetically appealing hearing devices, modern lifestyles and high purchasing power of the general population in developed countries will positively impact the demand for aesthetic hearing aids and thus drive the audiology devices market towards further growth.
