Behind-the-ear hearing aids house all the electronics — microphone, amplifier, processor, and battery — in a curved casing that rests behind the pinna. Sound is directed into the ear canal through a custom earmould or dome connected by a short tube. BTE devices offer the highest power output of any hearing aid style, making them the go-to choice for severe to profound hearing loss.

Their robust design also makes BTE hearing aids a practical option for wearers who have difficulty handling very small components, including older adults or younger children. The controls are easy to locate, the batteries are straightforward to change, and the earmould can be cleaned and replaced independently of the hearing aid body.

Modern BTE devices are far slimmer and more refined than the chunky instruments of previous generations. Artone stocks BTE models with direct audio streaming, rechargeable power options, and advanced directional microphone arrays for improved speech understanding in challenging environments.

For wearers with narrow ear canals, recurring ear infections, or significant manual dexterity limitations, a BTE hearing aid with a custom earmould is often the most reliable, comfortable, and effective solution.
