Behind-the-ear hearing aids (BTE) have traditionally been the most well-known. However, a modern BTE device is nothing like those conspicuous hearing aids of the past. The latest models are so small that they are barely noticeable, yet their performance is impressive. Even for more severe hearing loss.
Custum-made earmold of ultra-thin tube
There are various types of BTE devices. For instance, the amplified sound can be channelled into the ear via a custom-made earmould. For this, the audiologist takes a precise-impression of your ear canal. An 'open fitting' is also possible, using an ultra-thin tube. This does not block the ear, so sounds you can still hear well will pass without any obstruction. There is also an RITE version (Receiver-In-The-Ear), where the speaker is not in the device itself but inside the ear canal.
Behind-the-ear devices are available in various models, ranging from shiny, eye-catching colours to discreet hair tones.
