Behind The Ear

Behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing aids fit comfortably behind-the-ear and are attached to a custom made earmould. With BTE hearing aids, the electronics are housed in a case that fits behind the ear. The size of a BTE has drastically reduced over recent years as technology has continued to improve. Sound is directed from the hearing aid, through the tubing, and through the earmould to the eardrum.

These hearing aids can be modified with connections to external sound sources such as blue tooth devices, auditory training equipment, infrared listening systems, television and hi-fi equipment.

BTE hearing aids can provide more amplification than smaller ITE devices because of the more powerful amplifier contained in the larger case. This style is available in a large range of colours for hair and skin tone matching.
