What are invisible hearing aids?

Invisible hearing aids sit inside your ear so that they are invisible to the naked eye. Perhaps most impressive is that the advanced digital technology in these hearing aids fits into such a small device.

Invisible hearing aids are custom-fitted to your ear canal, and they contain no external tubes and wires.
