Behind the ear (BTE)

Fitting perfectly and easily

The Behind-the-Ear style or BTE, is one of the most versatile hearing aids available. They help nearly all types of hearing loss, and come in a Super Power model for maximum amplification. Depending on the severity and configuration of the hearing loss, most BTE styles can come with either a comfortable, custom ear mould or with a dome that fits within the ear canal.

High quality, high comfort

Behind the ear style hearing aids are a lot sleeker and slimmer than they used to be giving you a very comfortable fit. The microphone sits behind the ear and the receiver is connected via a thin, clear tube that is placed inside the ear that routes the sounds around you.
