About this type:

Behind-the-Ear (BTE) units offer the most flexible, adaptable, and powerful technology available. Custom earmolds fit your outer ear and ear canal comfortably for all-day use, and the open-canal earpieces help prevent that “plugged up” feeling that some users experience. Behind-the-Ear units house the speaker and microphone inside the shell that sits snugly on the ear, while sound travels into the ear canal via acoustic tubing. These devices are among the most easily adjustable, with simple switches to quickly control volume and program settings that better match changes to your surroundings. These units are also available as miniature versions.
