"Hi, my name is Tom Higgins. Next we have what we call a canal aid. A canal aid is a little more cosmetically appealing than an ITE, because very little shows when it's in your ear, and you have, basically, the same components: a volume control, battery compartment, amplifiers inside the instrument (just a little more miniature), and your speaker inside the ear. And again, you have to have a little more dexterity to use a canal aid than you would an ITE, because of its small size. And the canal aid also has enough room for us to add a telephone's accommodation, either manual or automatic, and can also be equipped for blue tooth devices. "
