A behind the ear (BTE) hearing aid is an auditory amplification device that fits behind the ear. The device’s three parts include an earmold, case and tube. The earmold is typically sculpted to fit the wearer’s ear or made of highly-flexible material that can be easily manipulated into a comfortable shape for any size or shape of ear. The amplifier for the device is inside the case, and the tube connects the amplifier to the earmold. This type of hearing aid is normally recommended to people with hearing losses ranging from mild to extreme.
