The Benefits Of Using Behind The Ear Hearing Aids (BTEs)
Today one of the most popular hearing aids models is the BTE or behind the ear hearing aids. This is because these models look more or less like Bluetooth phone devices, hence it allows people to use these without advertising the fact that they have a problem with hearing. These are small, unobtrusive and can be used by both children and adults without absolutely any problem.
Some Major Advantages
There are many, many benefits that you would gain from using these types of devices and this is why the majority people in the world are still in love with behind the ear hearing aids. Firstly, they have an excellent range and offer a larger amplifier because of its size - for which the sound is clear and crisper than any other models.
Secondly, you would find that behind the ear hearing aids come in the widest varieties - both programmable and non-programmable. The programmable behind the ear hearing aids usually have self-adjusting (read automatic) volume and sound filtering devices that further guarantees excellent sound when in use. The best BTEs are designed in collaboration with audiologists who ensure that comfort is not compromised at the altar of functionality.
How Do You Know If You Are Making The Right Decision?
There are two important ways to know whether or not to choose behind the ear hearing aids. One is by checking the reviews and ratings posted on different forums on the Internet. Be bold and if you want to be sure further - you could go for the one week (or one month) no risk trial that most large brands offer. You never know about these offers until you ask.
The second method is to listen to your gut feelings. What does it say? Do you feel that in spite of the excellent rating the model does not suit you? Listen to your gut feeling and reject it. Choose the one that appeals to you - but be careful not to be swayed by the wrong factors like the looks or the price.
Expect these hearing aids to be more expensive that the ones that are to be placed inside the ear canal and judge accordingly. Do not compare different functionality types or you would be faced with unequal factors that would confuse you further. In the worst scenario, when you are not able to decide at all, use the advice of a professional to guide you.
