The BTE hearing aid fits behind the ear with a thin plastic tube connecting to a custom-made section
that fits into the entrance to the ear.
BTE hearing aids have a main shell section, an earmold and a connecting tube, the main shell containing the electronics and the battery. On the latest hearing aids, the tube that runs from the shell to the ear-piece is very thin and almost invisible to the casual observer.
Behind the ear hearing aids can be used for mild to profound hearing loss, and are especially suited to children because of their durability, less likely to get lost and can be used in conjunction with assistive listening devices such as classroom FM systems.
Take a look at the Metrix by GN Resound and the Bravissimo range by Widex – offering
a wide range of colours – if you are fashion-conscious or favour a particular colour-scheme
– with no compromise on sound quality and hearing aid technology.
