Our behind-the-ear hearing aids

Behind-the-ear hearing aids are suitable for almost all hearing losses. Behind-the-ear hearing aids are among the most recommended hearing aids by hearing care professionals . The protective shell, containing a large part of the components of the device (amplifier, battery, even microphone) is placed behind the ear . It therefore remains discreet. Sound is transmitted from the shell via a small sound pipe / thin cable to the part inside the ear.

Behind-the-ear hearing aids can compensate for mild, moderate, severe, severe hearing loss and even in some cases of deafness. Behind-the-ear hearing aids are also available with different functions and additional functions. Basically, the bigger the hearing aid, the higher the performance.

These hearing aids are particularly popular with first-time buyers. They are the most discreet form of BTE and are characterized by their high level of comfort. The amplified signal is passed through a hair-thin, barely visible cable into the “receiver”. The “listener” sits in the ear canal just in front of the eardrum, ie “external” / outside the hearing aid housing. A small fixing screen or an individual earmold support the position of the “listener”.

A clear and natural speech quality is achieved, ie one’s own voice and environmental noises are perceived more naturally. The advantage here is that the ear usually only closes off to an insignificant extent and the ear canal remains pleasantly free and open so that it is well ventilated. The fact that a thin hearing tube establishes a direct connection between the hearing aid and the eardrum also ensures particularly high sound quality.

These hearing aids are commonly used for more severe hearing losses. They are comfortable to wear in those cases where very high hearing aid performance is required. The sound passes through a tube into an individual earmold, which is precisely adapted to the wearer’s ear. The housing, which is larger than the BTE hearing aid with an external receiver, contains the more powerful amplifier and the larger battery.

Nowadays, extensive color and shape combinations enable optically very discreet hearing systems, even in this high-performance area. Compared to in-the-ear hearing aids, behind-the-ear hearing aids tend to be more comfortable to wear, more natural perception of speech and sounds and greater ease of use.

• Behind the pinna, the auditory apparatus transmits sound to the eardrum through a fiber connected to an endpiece designed
  to measure and positioned in the auditory canal.
• The range of earhooks is very complete and corrects all hearing losses : from severe to profound.
• These hearing aids weigh only a few grams and come in several shades so they can match your hair color or your glasses.
• They can be connected to the ear canal in different ways: by a silicone dome or a tailor-made mouthpiece.
• Their new technology offers you improved signal for all hearing situations.
