About This Type:

Our behind-the-ear units offer the most flexible, adaptable, and powerful technology available. Custom earmolds fit your outer ear and ear canal comfortably for all-day use, and the open-canal earpieces help prevent that “plugged up” feeling that some users experience.

Behind-the-ear units house the speaker and microphone inside the shell that sits snugly on the ear, while sound travels into the ear canal via acoustic tubing. These devices are among the most easily adjustable, with simple switches to quickly control volume and program settings that better match changes to your surroundings. These units are also available as miniature versions.

Behind-the-ear hearing aids come in small plastic containers that are placed behind the ear. This is one of the best options for children because they are compatible with various ear molds, which have to be replaced as the child gets older. They are also tough, simple to use, and easy to clean.
