This is a true custom device, made from deep-canal impression of the ear canal(s). It is completely invisible, and, because of the custom fit, better tolerated by many ear canals. It is self-inserted and removed. The fact that it rests on the deep portion of the ear canal provides the same remarkable hearing results.

Benefits of the AGX9is:

  • Most likely will work for you even if you're not a candidate for other deep canal products
  • Natural sounding
