Years ago, you would have to go to the doctor, have your hearing assessed, and get a prescription for hearing aids. Today, you can buy behind-ear hearing aids online. Instead of waiting weeks for a doctor’s visit, and even more time for the device to arrive at your doctor’s office, you can have the hearing aids shipped directly to your house. You will not have to take time off work or miss other daily events.
Larger in Size
Behind-ear hearing aids fit behind the ear meaning they can be much larger than other types of hearing aids. The hearing aids are larger, so they can offer more features that other types of hearing aids cannot offer. For example, they may be Bluetooth compatible and have more volume controls. Some behind-ear hearing aids offer directional microphones and multi-settings. If they are battery-powered, you will also find they last longer than smaller devices. They are also very comfortable. They will wrap around the top part of your ear and rest along the back of your ear. When you are active, you will not have to worry as much about them falling on the ground and breaking as you would with other types of hearing aids.
Alerts
Behind-ear hearing aids will help make listening easier but also provide various safety features. It will help you stay connected to your surroundings, movement, and possible dangers. They are larger, so they can be programmed to provide you with alerts through vibration or amplified sounds to tell you someone is near or someone has knocked on your door. Hearing aids are often Bluetooth compatible and can link right to a camera doorbell.
