Option for Price
Ready to purchase or have questions? Call 1-800-301-3137
A new concept in open ear hearing aids. Fuse is a cross over hearing aid combining the best of mini BTE open ear hearing aids with Completely-In-Canal or CIC hearing aids. The Fuse is 45 percent smaller in the space it occupies in the ear canal compared to regular CIC hearing aids.
Unitron Fuse has an articulating joint that flexes with jaw movement allows for comfort and retention of Fuse in the ear canal. The sides of the Unitron Fuse CIC are sculpted inward to allow the open part of the fitting of this crossover CIC. Unitron calls this feature Dual-flow™ vents because there are two large vents rather than the single small one used on standard CIC hearing aids.

Precise Review
Big Advantages
For years the hearing aid industry has been trying to accomplish two goals with CIC hearing aids;
- Reduced occlusion and an “instant fit”.
Unitron Fuse accomplishes both.
Completely-In-Canal (CIC) hearing aids were the largest selling style of hearing aids a few years ago.
Now the open ear mini BTEs have been taking over the market for a number of reasons.
- A big comfort advantage because the ear canal is left open.
- You don't have to wait for your ear mold to be made and then sent to your dispenser.
- Fitting is much less involved.
Fuse is out there to bring CICs back to the forefront of the hearing aid market.
