1. BTE: Is it Right for Me?
The design of a BTE or, behind-the-
ear, hearing aid offers several
advantages for children and for
people with profound hearing loss.
The microphone and amplifier in a
BTE are housed in a casing that sits
comfortably behind the ear, and the receiver tucks neatly into the
wearer’s ear. Depending on the brand and maker, the housing of
a BTE comes in many shades to match skin tone or hair color and
make it less visible. Some of the reasons a BTE hearing device is
well-suited for kids and anyone with severe hearing loss are:
• The casing of a BTE hearing aid accommodates a large battery.
Larger batteries mean less frequent changing and easier
handling.
• As children grow the size of their ears grows larger as well. With
a BTE, only the receiver needs to be replaced for proper fit. The
same casing can be used for many years, saving money and
time.
• A BTE aid offers the loudest amplification of any style of hearing
device.
• The large casing of a BTE hearing aid allows for larger controls.

2. Features like volume and directionality are easier to adjust which
provides the best function for the wearer; they can adjust their
preferences for every environment.
• Twin microphones make hearing clearer in crowds and noisy
environments.
An audiologist can give the best advice about which style of
hearing aid will be most effective to improve your type of hearing
loss. Hearing specialists do more than simply administer hearing
tests; they can offer hearing aid advice and education for the
patient and family. Speak with your audiologist for more
information about BTE hearing aids and other types of hearing
accessories.
