Beltone is a hearing aid company founded in 1940 and headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. Its products are sold in the United States, Canada, and more than 40 other countries. The Beltone Hearing Care Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, was established in 2014 to donate hearing instruments to those in need.[1][2] In North America, Beltone has over 1,500 independently owned centers that provide hearing screenings, fittings, follow-up care, and aftercare services.[3]
Beltone's smallest hearing aid, the Beltone microInvisa, is about the size of a raspberry. It is also known as an invisible-in-the-canal (IIC) hearing aid. The Beltone microInvisa is custom-manufactured to conform to a patient's ear canal.
In the behind-the-ear (BTE) category, a very small case hides in the shadow behind the ear, and connects to the ear canal via a tiny, clear tube.[4]
