What is a BTE hearing aid?

A Behind the Ear (BTE) hearing aid is a reliable and powerful hearing solution designed to sit comfortably behind the ear, with sound delivered into the ear canal through a soft tube or earmold. At Shrestha Hearing, Vertigo & Speech Care, we recommend BTE hearing aids for their durability, clarity and suitability across a wide range of hearing loss levels.

BTE hearing aids are known for providing strong and clear amplification, making them ideal for individuals with mild to profound hearing loss. The device houses essential components such as the microphone, amplifier and battery in an external casing, ensuring better performance, longer device life and easier maintenance.

A Behind-The-Ear (BTE) hearing aid is a type of hearing device worn behind the ear that helps people with hearing loss hear more clearly. The main part of the device sits behind the ear and contains the microphone, amplifier, and battery, while sound is delivered into the ear through a small tube or thin wire connected to an earmold or ear tip. BTE hearing aids pick up sounds from the environment, amplify them according to the userโ€™s hearing needs, and send the amplified sound into the ear canal. They are suitable for people of all ages and can be used for mild to profound hearing loss. BTE hearing aids are known for their durability, comfort, and ability to provide powerful and clear sound amplification
