What are the different styles of hearing aids?

There are three main types of hearing aids that you can choose: Behind-the-ear (BTE), Bluetooth, and In-the-ear (ITE). But do you know the difference of the three types.

Next, Let’s talk about them.

BTE hearing aids consist of a hard plastic case worn behind the ear and connected to a plastic tube that fits inside the outer ear. The electronic parts are held in the case behind the ear. Sound travels from the hearing aid through the tube and into the ear. It’s suitable for mild to moderate hearing loss.

Bluetooth hearing aids, Bluetooth technology is a secure wireless platform，It’s today’s cutting edge technology . The technology uses radio waves set to a high frequency to transmit data without interference or security risks. You can control your Hearing Aids by mobile phone. Bluetooth technology in hearing aids has greatly elevated the hearing aid wearing experience and enable hearing aids to double as highly-personalized, custom audio devices. It’s an example of using today’s wireless hearing aid technology in a smart way.

ITE (in-the-ear or in-the canal) hearing aids holding the electronic components is made of hard plastic. It allows users to receive sound through the circuitry of the hearing aid, because the casings need to be replaced often as the ear grows, so it usually is not worn by young children.
