All-on-the-Ear Wearing Option
Also referred to as behind-the-ear (BTE), this sleek, comfortable wearing option positions the sound processor, power option, and any earhooks, such as the T-MicTM, over and behind the ear so the ear supports their weight. This option is a great choice for those who want a lightweight, out-of-the-way system with minimal cables. It is designed to allow recipients to easily place the processor on their ear and virtually forget about it as they partake in their daily activities.
Applicable AB Processors:
Some-on-the-Ear Wearing Option
The some-on-the-ear option is ideal for those with smaller ears and those who have active lifestyles. The sound processor and any earhook accessories are worn on the ear, but the power option is worn clipped to the user’s clothing, reducing the weight supported on the ear. A bilateral-ready option is also available and capable of powering two HarmonyTM or AuriaTM processors from a single battery, providing added comfort and convenience for those enjoying the world of sound in stereo.
Applicable AB Systems:
Nothing-on-the-Ear Wearing Option
This off-the-ear option is a discreet yet durable choice that keeps everything off the ear. It’s an excellent solution for younger children with small ears, those who want greater comfort, or anyone who prefers to minimize the amount of attention drawn to their sound processor. Enjoy high-performance sound while enjoying a low-profile look. For parents of recipients, this solution provides peace of mind as the processor is attached to the body and less likely to be lost.
Applicable AB Processors:
- Harmony or Auria Processor with Kinder ClipTM
- Platinum Series Processor (PSP)
