Hearing instrument styles

There are three main categories of hearing instruments styles: ultra-small behind-the-ear (BTE), traditional behind-the-ear (BTE) and in-the-ear (ITE). Each style offers different advantages, depending on the design, size and technology.  At Unitron we develop advanced technologies to deliver practical benefits in every hearing instrument in every product category. Our extensive product selection offers an unprecedented range of styles at all price points.

Ultra-small behind-the-ear (BTE)

An ultra-small Behind-The-Ear (BTE) style is lightweight and sits snugly behind the ear.  It connects to the ear with a nearly invisible thin tube which inserted in the ear canal.  These instruments are ideal for style-conscious, first time and experienced wearers and fits mild to severe hearing loss.

Traditional behind-the-ear (BTE)

A traditional BTE is worn comfortably behind the ear while amplified sound travels down a tube to a customized earmold that fits securely into the ear. Because they are larger size they can accommodate a bigger battery for longer life and larger amplifiers for maximum amplification. BTEs are compatible with most assistive listening devices and suitable for mild to profound hearing losses.
