Styles of Hearing Aids


The choice of a hearing aid style is a personal one, and depends on your lifestyle, desired aesthetic appeal, degree of hearing loss, and other factors. The “shell” or “case” is the outer covering of a hearing aid, and determines its style. Of the many parts of a hearing aid, style can make a big difference toyour overall satisfaction.
Beltone's two main style categories are Behind-the-Ear (BTE) and Customhearing aids. BTE instruments are curved to rest comfortably behind your ear. Extremely popular, BTE hearing aids are easy to adjust, fully programmable and furnish mild-to-powerful amplification. Custom hearing aids are manufactured according to an impression taken of your ear canal and the surrounding area. So, like any item created just for you, they offer the comfort of a custom-made fit.

Receiver-in-Ear (RIE) hearing aids are the newest BTE style devices on the market, and, the most popular. An RIE hearing aid is comprised of a very small casing that sits behind the ear. The casing houses all of the electronic components of the hearing aid except for the receiver (also called the speaker). This allows the casing to be extremely tiny, so it's barely visible. A narrow transparent tube carries very thin wires from the casing to the receiver, which rests in your ear canal.
RIE hearing aids offer exceptionally natural sound quality, and can be used with custom-made or standard ear molds, depending on your individual amplification needs. Almost all types of hearing loss can be assisted with RIE style hearing aids.
