Behind-The-Ear hearing instruments (BTE)

In BTE hearing aids, the electronics are housed in a case that fits behind the ear. Tubing and a custom made earmold direct the sound to the ear canal. BTE hearing aids can provide more amplification than smaller devices due to the stronger amplifier and the larger battery. This style is available in several colors for hair and skin tone matching.

BTEs can handle all types of sensorineural hearing losses from mild to profound and from flat to steeply sloping. Due to its robust design, this style is especially recommended for children.
