Behind-the-ear hearing aids
Easy-to-handle BTE devices from $1,800 per aid, programmed to your audiogram before they ship.
Behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing aids house the main components in a small case that rests comfortably behind your ear, connected to an earpiece inside. This classic style is known for being easy to handle and robust, making it a popular choice if you want a straightforward, reliable device. BTE models are especially suited if you find tiny devices or batteries fiddly to manage. The larger body allows for a bigger battery, and several models in our range deliver up to 24 hours of power on a single charge. You’ll find them comfortable for all-day wear, whether you’re at home, out walking, or chatting with the grandkids.
We stock 8 BTE models spanning from $1,800 to $3,885 per aid, so you can choose your technology level, from Essential right up to Elite. This means you don’t have to compromise on sound quality just because you prefer the behind-the-ear form. If you’re searching for BTE hearing aids Australia wide, our range gives you a solid selection of trusted brands with the latest features. Every BTE device from TellyHear comes with a 3-year manufacturer warranty for long-term peace of mind. You can save $500 off a pair when you provide your audiogram. It’s honest pricing backed by clinical support from a Senior Audiologist with over 15 years’ experience.

What are behind-the-ear hearing aids?
A behind-the-ear hearing aid houses the main electronics in a small, curved case that sits comfortably behind your outer ear. Sound travels from the case through a clear tube and into your ear via a soft earpiece or custom mould. This design amplifies speech and environmental sounds clearly and reliably for everyday listening.
BTE models are easy to handle and very robust, making them a practical choice for many Australians. The larger battery size can deliver up to 24 hours of power on some models, so you are not constantly changing batteries. They suit a wide range of hearing losses, from mild to profound, and can accommodate extra features like telecoil loops.
People who value durability and straightforward handling often choose behind-the-ear aids, as well as those with more significant hearing needs. TellyHear fits them using your audiogram first, so the devices arrive programmed for your ears. We then guide you through the setup and fine-tuning remotely, all with support from our audiologist.

Outstanding after-sale support
I purchased my hearing aid online late last year. I was a bit apprehensive about making such an important and expensive purchase without having the backup of a local clinic. I needn’t be worried.

Every issue solved without dispute
I obtained a full auditory test from Lachlan after becoming quite dissatisfied with my previous specialist. New hearing aids were purchased and a series of small issues were effectively solved at short notice.
