# Behind-the-Ear (BTE) hearing aids

    All the electronics sit in a small case behind your ear, sending sound through a tube into your ear — the most powerful, robust and easy-to-handle style.

      How it works
      
## Power that sits behind the ear

      A BTE aid houses everything in a durable case that rests behind your ear. Sound travels through a slim tube into a custom earmould or a soft dome in your ear.

      The larger housing makes room for a stronger amplifier and a bigger, longer-lasting battery — which is why BTE is the go-to choice for stronger prescriptions and for easy handling.

    
  

  
    Is it right for you?
    
## Who it's best for

    BTE is the most capable all-rounder and the easiest style to manage.
  
  
    
      
### All levels of loss

The only style powerful enough for severe and profound hearing loss.

        
### Children

Earmoulds can be remade affordably as a child’s ear grows.

        
### Easy handling

Larger size and controls suit anyone with dexterity or vision difficulty.

        
### Durability seekers

Robust and reliable for active or demanding daily use.

    
  

  
    The upside
    
## Why choose BTE

  
  
    
      
### Most powerful

Handles every degree of hearing loss, including the most severe.

        
### Easy to use

Simple to insert, clean and control — great for elderly users and children.

    
    
      
### Long battery life

A bigger battery means more hours between changes or charges.

        
### Tough & reliable

Durable build stands up to everyday wear.

    
  

  
    
      Honest advice
      
## Things to consider

      A clear, balanced picture so your choice feels right.
      
### A little more visible

It is the most noticeable style, though modern mini-BTE models are slim and subtle.

        
### Wind sensitivity

The behind-ear position can pick up some wind noise outdoors.

        
### Earmould needed

Stronger prescriptions use a custom earmould, which we make from your ear impression.
