PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
The BTE (Behind the Ear BTE) hearing aids are
anatomical instruments placed behind the ear. .
Are powered by a battery and are typically designed
to cover severe or profound hearing losses. All
mechanical and electronic components are contained
in an ergonomic housing. They adapt to the user’s
ear by molds which leaves a conductive tube that
attaches to the side of the hearing aid.
Moulds and conduction tube:
these conduct sound
and allow the device to be fitted to the ear using a
customised or standard mould.
Microphone:
receives the sound and converts it into
an electrical signal.
Amplifier:
digital processor that receives the signal and
adapts it to the parameters introduced for each loss.
Receiver:
converts the electrical signal back into
sound and transmits it into the user's ear.
Telecoil:
captures variations in magnetic fields and
transforms them into electric signals.

The intended purpose of the hearing aids is to amplify
sound selectively and to transmit it to the ears of
people with a hearing disability (the hard of hearing)
to compensate for their hearing loss.
Use of the MICROSON m2 BTE hearing aid is
recommended to compensate for mild to severe
hearing loss (conductive, mixed or neurosensorial). Its
use in children is not recommended.
Use of the MICROSON m2 BTE P hearing aid is
recommended to compensate for moderate to severe
hearing loss (conductive, mixed or neurosensorial). Its
use in children is not recommended.
A hearing aid must be prescribed and fitted by a
hearing care specialist, who will program it and
adjust it specifically for the patient’s hearing loss
and morphology in a completely personalised way.
Be aware that using hearing aids not prescribed by
a professional or devices fitted for other people can
damage your hearing.
