Titanium Phonak Hearing Aids: The Most Durable Option
Smaller fit. Stronger material. Better moisture resistance. Less cracking over time.
That is why more Phonak users are starting to consider titanium hearing aids and titanium custom earmolds.
Titanium is one of the most durable materials available for custom hearing aids and earmolds. Compared to traditional acrylic materials, titanium offers improved long-term durability while allowing for thinner walls and a more discreet fit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are titanium hearing aids more durable than acrylic?
Yes. Titanium is stronger and more resistant to cracking, moisture, and daily wear compared to traditional acrylic shells.
Which Phonak hearing aids are available in titanium?
Phonak offers titanium options in select custom hearing aids including Virto Infinio and Paradise IIC and CIC styles, as well as titanium earmold upgrades for all RIC hearing aids.
What is the difference between cShell Titanium and SlimTip Titanium?
SlimTip Titanium AV is a hollow titanium custom earmold designed for a secure fit and more open acoustic properties, often resulting in a lighter, less bass-heavy sound quality. cShell Titanium is a solid titanium custom receiver mold designed for maximum durability and a stronger acoustic seal, which can provide increased low-frequency amplification and a fuller bass response.
Are titanium hearing aids smaller?
Yes. Titanium allows for thinner shell walls, which can create a smaller, deeper and more discreet custom hearing aid.
Can I upgrade my current Phonak hearing aids to titanium earmolds?
In many cases, yes. Compatible Phonak RIC hearing aids can often be fitted with SlimTip Titanium AV or cShell Titanium earmolds without replacing the hearing aids themselves. Titanium earmolds for RIC hearing aids are ordered separately and available at an additional cost. Custom in-the-ear titanium hearing aids follow separate remake warranty policies.
Are titanium hearing aids better for moisture and sweat?
Titanium is widely used in aerospace and medical applications because of its high strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance. These same properties make it an attractive material for custom hearing aid shells and earmolds.
Do titanium hearing aids last longer?
While all hearing aids require maintenance, titanium shells are designed to improve long-term durability and reduce risks of cracks or shell damage over time.
