BTE Basics
What Is a BTE Hearing Aid?
BTE means behind-the-ear. The hearing aid sits comfortably behind the ear and sends sound through a slim tube, receiver, or custom earmold into the ear canal.
BTE hearing aids are often recommended because they can carry stronger amplification, larger batteries, directional microphones, Bluetooth features, and durable shells.
