The VELVET X-Mini is a high-performance receiver-in-canal hearing system measuring only 20x 5x7.5 mm. Its profile line splits the housing into a top and bottom part and continues smoothly towards the back to form the battery door. This gives the device a distinct character while at the same time a softer and more ergonomic shape. The exchangeable top shell is available in different colors, graphics and innovative finishes, transforming the product into a customizable, jewel-like accessory. When worn, the ultra small body disappears discreetly behind the ear; it can connect wirelessly to external devices such as mobile phones or TV.
