Widex Evoke CIC

Widex Evoke CIC is a hearing aid custom-made from your ear impression and placed inside the ear canal. CIC stands for "completely-in-canal". Because the device sits inside the canal, often only the small removal cord is noticeable from the outside. It offers the smart sound processing of the Evoke range with no parts behind the ear.

Sound and hearing features

Evoke CIC automatically analyses the sounds around you and adapts to changes, aiming to help you hear naturally and without strain. Evoke's SoundSense technology offers sound processing that develops over time using information from user preferences. With the microphone close to the canal entrance, the outer ear's role in collecting and directing sound is used naturally; this makes the device easier to use in the wind and on the phone.

Use and care

In-the-ear devices are in direct contact with earwax and moisture. For this reason, the wax filter needs to be changed regularly and the device cleaned with a dry cloth every day. Keeping the device in a drying box at night helps protect it from moisture. A removal cord is used to put it in and take it out; at fitting, our specialist goes through these steps with you. For step-by-step care, see our hearing aid maintenance page.

Differences between CIC, Micro CIC and XP

The Evoke in-the-ear family has three styles. Evoke Micro CIC sits deeper in the canal and is almost invisible from the outside. Evoke CIC is slightly larger, which makes it a more flexible option for users whose ear canal does not suit deep placement. Evoke XP is designed for more power and easier handling.

Who is it for?

Evoke CIC can be considered by people who do not want to wear a device behind the ear, who want to avoid crowding behind the ear with glasses or a mask, who have mild to moderate hearing loss and whose ear canal is wide enough. Suitability is decided by an ear examination and your hearing test. The ear impression is taken at our centre with a soft mould material in a few minutes; when the device arrives from production, we check the fit and settings together.

At our Pendik centre, after a free hearing test and an ear impression, we can discuss a trial of the Widex Evoke CIC hearing aid. You can find all in-the-ear options on our in-the-ear hearing aids page.
