Behind-the-ear (BTE) Hearing Aids
Behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing aids are a type of hearing device that sits behind or on top of the outer ear and is connected to a custom earpiece or earmold via a tube or wire. BTE hearing aids are known for their versatility and suitability for various degrees of hearing loss, from mild to profound.Here are some key features and advantages of BTE hearing aids:
- Design: The main body of the hearing aid rests behind the ear, making it less visible compared to some other types of hearing aids. They come in different sizes and colors to match individual preferences.
- Suitability: BTE devices can accommodate larger batteries, allowing for longer battery life and easier handling for those with dexterity issues.
- Powerful Amplification: BTE aids are capable of amplifying sound significantly and can cater to a wide range of hearing loss levels.
