Behind The Ear (BTE) Hearing Aids
Poweful and Flexible
Excellent solution
BTE (Behind the Ear) hearing aids usually have an earmould which is custom made to fit within the inner ear. Connected to this is a hearing aid containing the electronic parts, which lies discreetly behind the ear.
Technological advances have made modern day digital hearing aids extremely powerful and BTE hearing aids are the most flexible of those available on the market. They are suitable for moderate to severe hearing loss and can provide an excellent solution for the majority of wearers. Today, BTE hearing aids are used more than any other style for severe hearing loss.
Advantages of Behind the Ear Hearing Aids
BTE Hearing Aids are designed to minimise feedback and the comparatively larger size of them (compared to Completely in Canal hearing aids for example) means they have space for a complex circuitry system, allowing for many customised options.
- They are the most durable hearing aids available
- They provide more amplification than any other type of hearing devices
- They are suitable for those with any type or degree of hearing loss
- They are easy to clean and adjust, of particular importance to you if you have reduced dexterity
Choosing the Right BTE Hearing Aid
After your hearing test and consultation, if our hearing aid specialist recommends a BTE hearing aid for you, he will guide you through the selection process.
The specialist will then take impressions of your ear, so that new earmoulds can be custom made especially for you. An appointment will be made to have your new hearing aids fitted a few weeks later, where the specialist will program your hearing aids to meet your specific hearing needs.
