Hearing aids are a great way to improve your hearing and quality of life. But with so many options available, it can be difficult to decide which type of hearing aid is best for you. One of the most popular types of hearing aids is the Behind-the-Ear (BTE) hearing aid. This type of hearing aid is suitable for people of all ages and with almost any type of hearing loss.
BTE hearing aids are worn behind the ear and connected to a custom earpiece called an ear mold that fits into the ear canal. This type of hearing aid provides high-quality sound to the wearer, as the microphone is placed on the top of the ear and the receiver is connected to it via a thin, transparent tube that is placed inside the ear. This combination helps direct sounds around it, providing excellent sound to anyone who wears them. BTE hearing aids are also comfortable to wear, as they conform to the ear by snapping and snugly fitting in the back, behind the outer ear.
They are also immune to feedback, an annoying whistle in the ear that can be caused by poorly fitted BTE hearing aids. In addition, BTE hearing aids are suitable for mild to severe hearing loss and come in two types: BTE and mini BTE. Low-profile hearing aids are similar to ITC styles and range from half-shell designs that fill half of the outer ear bowl to full-shell designs that fill almost the entire outer ear. BTE hearing aids also provide a number of other benefits.
They are equipped with digital circuitry that gives audiologists more flexibility to adjust the aid to the needs of the user and to certain listening environments. They can also stream phone calls, TV and music directly to your hearing aids or connect wirelessly to other devices. Finally, BTE hearing aids are not used by young children because their shells need to be replaced frequently as their ears grow. However, scientists are using the structure of the fly's ear as a model to design miniature directional microphones for hearing aids.Overall, Behind-the-Ear (BTE) hearing aids offer a number of advantages for people with mild to severe hearing loss.
They provide superior sound quality, are comfortable to wear, and come with digital circuitry that gives audiologists more flexibility in adjusting them for different listening environments.BTE hearing aids are an excellent choice for those looking for a reliable and effective way to improve their hearing. With their high-quality sound, comfortable fit, and digital circuitry, they provide an ideal solution for those with mild to severe hearing loss.
