2601 Delaney AveOrlando, FL 32806

switches. Modern units are not the clunkers that their predecessors were.

The BTE unit has three discrete parts, the case, tube and
earmold.

The case is the hook-like part that sits behind the ear and does the actual augmentation of
sound.

Audio waves travel from the case through the tube to the earmold, which is essentially a plug made to sit neatly at the opening of your
canal. Similar tips are used to keep your mobile phone headset in place.

open fit aids are smaller behind the ear devices that work a little different. It
travels deeper into the canal and uses a soft molded dome
to hold it in place.
