3. It's been over 50 years
since Siemens debuted
the worlds first BTE
hearing aid.
In that time, the iconic
style is the first image that
comes to mind when most
people think of a listening
device.

4. Behind the ear
listening devices
debuted in 1959
and have been
continually
improved since.

5. For starters, the
device's "biggest in
class" size allow it
to be outfitted with
a full set of
controls, such as
volume and on/off
switches.

6. While the fashionista in
you may abhor the
aesthetics of BTE
hearing aids, modern
devices are not the
clunkers of the mid-
twentieth century.

7. One thing that hasn't changed about these
devices are their composition. Now, like
then, each unit is comprised of a case, which
houses the electronics, an earmold that has a
tiny speaker to deliver sound and a tube used
to carry sound between the other
components.

8. Depending on the
device you
select, behind the ear
listening instruments
are more affordable
than other styles.

9. Not only can you get
behind the ear units
from giants like
Siemens, Starkey and
Widex, but they're also
available from more
obscure, discount
manufacturers on the
web.
