Conventional Behind the Ear (BTE) Hearing Aids

Behind the Ear hearing aids sit above the ear and deliver sound to the ear via a custom made ear mold. BTEs are not custom made to fit into the ear, therefore the BTE style is best suited to hearing losses in the severe to profound range.

Advantages:

• More power.
• Longer battery life.
• Not affected by the cerumen.

Disadvantages:

• Difficult for some to put on.
