Behind-the-Ear (BTE) Hearing Aids in Kenya
Behind-the-ear is the Kenya workhorse. If a parent can wear glasses, they can usually manage a BTE. The microphone sits above the ear, away from canal wax, which is why these survive longer in homes that cook with charcoal.
Who should order BTE
- First hearing aid, any age.
- Arthritic fingers that drop CIC batteries.
- Upcountry users who need something a neighbour can help reseat.

BTE versus ITE and RIC
BTE is more visible. ITE hides in the bowl. RIC is slimmer. Read BTE vs ITE vs RIC if appearance is the only objection. Most daughters who worry about "the old person look" still order BTE after the first week because mum actually wears it.
Care
Wipe the dome. Open the battery door. Keep it off the jiko shelf. Full routine: hearing aid care in Kenya.

Hearing Aids Kenya supplies ready-to-wear hearing aids and personal sound amplifiers for home use. Devices on this site do not diagnose, treat or cure hearing loss. If hearing dropped suddenly, if there is ear pain, discharge, dizziness, or you need a programmed medical-grade aid, see an ENT or licensed audiologist first. We will still help you order a home-use device after that visit.
