BEHIND THE EAR HEARING AID (BTE)

Behind-the-ear hearing aids (BTE) are one of the most widely used and preferred types of hearing aids today. As the name suggests, these devices fit comfortably behind the ear and transmit sound to the ear canal through a thin tube or a special mold. Offering powerful solutions for both mild and severe hearing loss, BTE devices appeal to a wide range of users.

How Do BTE Hearing Aids Work?

BTE hearing aids consist of three basic components that receive, process and transmit sounds to the ear canal:

Microphone: Collects sounds from the environment.
Amplifier: Strengthens the collected sounds and adapts them to your hearing loss.
Speaker (Receiver): Transmits the amplified sound to the ear canal.
The main unit positioned behind the ear clarifies sounds, reduces noise and increases speech intelligibility thanks to digital technology.
