Behind The Ear hearing aids are named as such due to the fact they sit discreetly Behind The Ear and transfer sound directly to the ear canal via a tube and ear mould which sits within the ear. Behind the ear hearing aids provide the most power and can handle anything from moderate to severe hearing loss easily. BTE hearing aids can also be used for people with a profound hearing loss.
The Behind The Ear hearing aid is commonly used where In The Ear (ITE) or Completely In Canal (CIC) hearing aids are inappropriate. In addition, the fact that all the controls and electronics are housed in a larger casing makes it easier for users to operate, especially if they have limited dexterity.
The Behind The Ear hearing aid is an extremely discreet option for those who have cosmetic concerns. Alternatively, the BTE hearing aid can be made in a wide variety of colours depending on your style.
