Behind-the-Ear (BTE) Hearing Aids

Behind-the-ear (BTE) Hearing Aids

Power and comfort.

BTE hearing aids are the most powerful solutions available. The receiver, microphone and amplifier are all housed together behind the ear, with a clear plastic tube connecting the shell to an earmold in the ear. The larger size allows for many features and a long-lasting battery life. BTEs are also known to be extremely durable.

Powerful

Have severe hearing loss?

Behind-the-Ear hearing aids offer the most powerful sound amplification out of any style, making them suitable for all levels of hearing loss—particularly those with profound and/or high-frequency hearing loss.

Durable

Easy to use and long-lasting

Since all sensitive electronics rest in the case outside of the ear, BTE hearing aids are less susceptible to moisture and wax—the two leading causes of hearing aid damage. Even when those pests are present, they can often be easily cleared out of the tubing with an air blower or washed from the ear mold by detaching and soaking it in warm, soapy water. The result? Fewer repairs and longer lifespan.

Advanced features

Latest in hearing aid technology

Because BTE hearing aids are larger than other styles, they are able to pack in the most advanced features, like direct streaming and rechargeability. They also have larger batteries, which means longer battery life.
